I have a bit of a collection. In it is an absolutely mint 60's Hagstrom II and a Hagstrom III in pieces. Don't know if you've ever seen or played Hagstroms. Swedish made

They have the thinnest necks with the lowest action I've ever seen. Plays really fast but I have trouble playing them because I have large hands for someone my size.

Both necks have new boards and I had jumbo frets put in.

Got them for a steal. Paid $25 for the III and traded a Pevey case for the other. They were kind of worthless back then but they have become minor collectors items now.

Anyway, thinking of putting the III together for my daughter. She is six and we just ordered her 1st real accoustic. Her mother will start her on lessons.

Pics of a Hagstrom II, I have the Sunburst in the middle.
