About This Listing

Vintage Hagstrom Swede. Hard to date these but it appears the serial number makes this 1973-73. This is a players grade - mostly original but some replacements. Actually thought about tearing it down and selling for parts - take a look at what these parts go for! But I couldn’t do it - plays and sounds great and I would like to find it a home.


It has been repainted, pretty badly, but doesn’t affect play. Pickups replaced from originals? -Hagstrom Custom 52 Ceramic Humbucker Double Coil. I think these are replaced/later Hagstrom tuners. “Chokes up” on the last four frets and needs some adjustments.

The good news - electronics work great, insanely fast neck, comes with a new case - and a “steal” price for a vintage 52 year old guitar!
