Now this little baby was a real challenge. You would be amazed at just how much electronics can be jammed into such a small guitar! Those crazy Swedes must have had too much time on their hands. That said….isn’t she just soooo cute. No bigger in size than a Mustang (reg.needed) and a neck so slender that it would put an Ibanez RG reg. needed) to shame. This guitar was built in 1961 by the Hagstrom Company. We have rebuilt her lovingly right down to the Tortoishell scratchplate which was fashioned by young James who is following in the footprints of his forefathers (that’s me and Luke by the way). Oh! And by the way, when we re fretted the neck it was still Gun barrel straight after all these years. I cant even tell you what Scandinavian timbers were used on these guitars, however I would loooove to get my hands on some. STOP PRESS! Sorry all, Skritch of The Mary Trembles has snatched it……However we will be getting more so let us know if you wish to be in the loop. Average price for these cuties is 1500.00 inc Case.
