Leggo of my HoHo!
Having once owned a 1974 Hagstrom Swede, I have a soft spot for those guitars (yeah, I thinks the soft spot's in my head!). The ones I really like the looks of now, are the new Super Swedes. It seems that after a couple of years of working the bugs out of the Chinese production, they're now getting great reviews...not just fir the workmanship, but the tone now as well.
Who knows?...Maybe...someday...if I run accross a deal....I might get one of these reissues....
