I used to have a Hag III. They're pretty petite.

You don't destroy it just by looking at it, donavondom?

Ive had two. Both were awesome.

I've seen tons of garage bands playing old hagstroms

I got turned on to them by this guy....

The Lead II was awesome. I've only ever seen the one that I played (and stupidly didn't purchase). It was less than $300 and pristine. Went back to look at it again a week later and was gone.

There's a Lead II at my local vintage guitar shop, I've never plugged it in but it plays and sounds great. It's a fair bit more than $300 though, if it was that cheap I'd probably have bought it ages ago.

That store had some pretty sleeper stuff pass through it. Mostly all things I missed out on.

Gibson M3 Deluxe.

Naaaaah. My friend Michael has a II, and it seems to hold up well.

Remarkably resilient those hagstroms. The construction is, IMHO as good as fenders from the same time. Miles from teiscos. One thing though is the trem is probably one of the most irritating things in the works when you need to change strings...the ends are just held in there by little hooks and pop out frequently. The trick is getting a piece of scotch tape and taping them in there until you're done tuning.

Just gonna post these up here:



I know this is a bass, but LOOK AT IT:

Dat headstock.
Soviet basses tend to be kinda cool too.

First thought when I saw them was they reminded me of Soviet guitars

more the other way 'round...i've become fascinated by Soviet/Warsaw Pact guitars, which have a wild array of features copped from 60s Japanese guitars, Hagstroms, West German guitars particularlr Framus and Hofner, and the Italian wild-and-crazy Vox/Crucianelli guitars.

Christian aka 12XU2A3X3 has one, played it this weekend at the Philly meet-up. Good shit.
