worlds fastest necks!!! lol. best part you had the set screw for the bar and the little trim covers for the bridge screws...and the new owner loves it. FUN!
Got a Hagstrom 1 in 1972 after my first guitar, a $50 Harmony with strings way high, and was amazed at the low action of the neck. It cost me $65 and I still have it. I had to replace the tuners & wooden bridge with Shaller replacements in 1972. It has a shrill sound on bridge pickup with tone set high and the mute switch off. But that neck!!!!
This is kind of like a guitar freakshow. Very interesting! I've never seen anything like it. 11:24 I also like to clean guitars while watching the KYG livestream. 😂👍🏻
I just got a 1965 black and white Hagstrom 1, looks just like that, only the pickups are not rounded on the edges, but straight-edge rectangles. QUESTION: When I was rubbing the rust off the pole pieces pressing hard (heavily rusted), I discovered the poles are not one solid piece. The top part you see is a little steel cap that is glued onto the actual pole underneath. Apparently the rubbing alcohol I used to free the rust dissolved the glue. This happened on two pole pieces. I cleaned the old glue off, and put a tiny pinch of super glue (with pressure overnight) to secure the two caps. Have you ever seen pickups made this way, with metal caps fixed on top of each pole? They were magnetized. If you put them upside down, they would repulse, but the correct way, and it they fit right back in place. They work fine, but I'm curious nevertheless if this strange construction is unique to Hagstrom, or are other pickups made like this...
Where can I find a tunomatic bridge that measures 2 11/16 or 86.26 MM from post to post? My guitar looks like it has a 63 Goya Eko hagstrom tremolo set up. The neck broke at the headstock and the headstock had a Gibson logo but definitely not a Gibson. All signs point to Japanese guitar. One guy thought it was a 63 Goya Eko hagstrom. I found a custom 63 red Goya Eko hagstrom online with the exact hagstrom tremolo and bridge. I just need the bridge. They told me I can use a Fender neck on it.
Hi. i have had a Hagström 1 myself i played it for 50 yers. You know there are a museum in Falun Sweden you can look at. Well that metalplate with waffelpatern you said was cosmetics is wrong. that pitch is called the pool and was to increase the volume from the strings. after i think it was 1967 that pitch was flat out and they glued that alufoile directly on the flat suface. Its not a 1961 because up to 1963 it was called Kent 1. so its a 1964 or 1965 .Oh im an old Swed myself. Hope you found this iteresting .Kj
Be curious how mych it sold 4.Had one of these I bought in '83, $125.the pickups were hot! Hey she's good! Saw a beautiful lilac one on some site fr 800 but they said electrical damage? Seriously...
These Hagstrom guitars have a very cool factor. Love them. I use the same metal polish cream on my frets and wipe off all the oxidation on them with a clean rag. It's one of the first things I do to a new guitar. You'd be surprised how much black oxidation comes off of them.
There were a ton of these about in the 60s. Especially the bass. I had the bass version of this & later a step up to the wood model. They were not bad little players.
It looked like there were 2 spacers at the back of the bridge & vibrato assembly. It didn't look like you put them back when you put it back on. Just a heads up.🙂
Not sure what you mean on the slotted vs Philips head screws, as far as my knowledge goes Philips head screws were invented in the early 1900s and Leo was using them in the 50s on fenders. Is it just a hagstrom thing?
The seventies-82 Hagstrom guitars kill those sixties models. Have a 73 and a 74 Swede, an 80 Super, a blonde Viking from 1975, and two 1972 HiiN OT hard tail.
WTF? Not a very good video on how to clean a vintage guitar.That polish is not a cleaner, and what was up with those frets? Terrible way to treat a cool guitar!
Hagstrom ❤! My dream guitar.
This was an amazing walk-through Dane, plus the guitarist who played this Haggy definitely slayed it with the right vibes!!

Hagstrom necks are lovely! I have two of those! I love them!

have the same axe on the bench now right down to the colour
Wow. Off the wall guitar. (Literally) Who was the other rock star jamming this axe?
David Bowie played one for Rebel Rebel vid
Vintage Guitar magazine had one in it March 2024 that Nile Rogers (Chic) had in his studio.
There were a ton of these about in the 60s. Especially the bass. I had the bass version of this & later a step up to the wood model. They were not bad little players.
Wonderful, I would say! I still use my Hagstrom Kent guitar, which looks much like this one (in the video).
Love all those weird 60s guitars
Who is she? I am a fan!

Kinda curious how a ground wire not connected to any electronics grounds anything? Weird
Miss your friday night live shows with Glenn, what's the dealeo Dane?

HAGstrøm, hihi. Sounds like a joke from Married With Children. They had a character named «Hunkstrøm» he was a hunk batting for Al in one episode 🤣
The seventies-82 Hagstrom guitars kill those sixties models. Have a 73 and a 74 Swede, an 80 Super, a blonde Viking from 1975, and two 1972 HiiN OT hard tail.
Very nice girl and a very nice guitar !!
Nice guitar man. Have a good day.
