The logo on the front of the headstock yellowed quite a bit. Part of the pickup ring around the neck pickup is missing, which is common for these old Hagstroms. I got this guitar a few years ago from an elderly gentleman out in Bell County that bought the guitar used in 1979 in Long Island, NY. The guitar is in such great condition that I asked him how it is still so new looking. He told me that after he moved to Texas in the 80's he never really found many people to play with. The guitar stayed mostly in its case with only occasional use. It has the Made in Sweden on the back of the neck at the base/heel. It currently has non-original, PAF style pickups. The knobs, bridge, tailpiece, tuners and frets are all original to the best of my knowledge.
I love the guitar but the fretboard radius is just a bit too flat for my preference. It mostly just sits in its case. Super vintage vibe and everything works perfectly. Let me know if any questions. Make an offer.
