Hagstrom Guitars. This is my prized sun-burst 1965 Hagstrom 3 electric guitar. Hagstrom guitars were made in Sweden up until 1981. Unfortunately the company fell victim to cheaper, mass-produced instruments from Japan & other foreign manufacturers. I absolutely adore Hagstrom guitars! These guitars have the lowest action in the world! Very comfortable to play & they sound amazing. Hagstrom guitars were used by quite a few artists such as David Bowie, Elvis Presley, Frank Zappa, Bill Nelson (Be Bop Deluxe) & Pat Smear (Foo Fighters) to name a few. I love these guitars so dearly that I currently own 8 of them! Yes... 8 Hagstroms! Included in my collection are a bass, nylon string classical guitar, 12 string electric & assorted electric 6 strings. I've been recording extensively using these guitars & the results have been very satisfying. My guitar collection is not just relegated to Hagstrom. I have Gibson, Fender & other brands but my Hagstroms are very near & dear to my heart! If you play guitar & you happen to run across one of these somewhere try it out. Hagstrom Guitars..... FOREVER!!!

Hi there Ed,
Eight Hagstrom guitars, impressive! I don't know anything about guitars but this one in the picture sure looks magnificent. Curious: how much can you expect to pay for a guitar like this?

Hi Maria, Impressive or obsessive?
Ha Ha.... A guitar like the one pictured runs about $500-$600 these days. Very under-valued considering the vintage & quality of these instruments. Thanks for stopping by!
ED
