This is the one I refer to as the "Ziggy Stardust Model" since Bowie is holding one on the cover. Certainly not a pristine example but he says it all works fine. Not a bad price for this model. The necks on these are very thin and fast so if you like that you might like this Swedish guitar.

Vintage Hagstrom I Electric Guitar!
All original 1962-1965 era solid body guitar. Made in Sweden. Cool, early version with black neck and headstock. Real branded Hagstrom, not a Kent PB-24-G.
Both pickups work and sound great. All switches and volume pot work(pot could use a little cleaner). Neck still plays great with only minimal fret wear. These necks are thin and fast and live up to the hype. H shaped truss rod ensures that it has stayed true all these years!
Lucite top has some cosmetic cracks, but nothing threatening. Vinyl has split and come loose a bit at the edges. Ignore the color in 3rd pic. Taken without flash to show detail.
Here's your chance to get one at a great price and look like early David Bowie or Devo! Comes with non-original chipboard case.
Located in Williamsburg near the Bedford L train stop.
Location: Williamsburg

This is not the Bowie model - I know because the Bowie model was my first guitar, and I still have it. The Bowie version is basically the same but it has three pickups and some more buttons.

Hi Hagström Fans!
ReplyDeleteI'll second that note from Trygve. Bowie played a Kent branded model Hagström that was primarily sold in the UK. His guitar was a lacquered solid body with rounded edges, three pickups and six switches on the control plate. The guitar presented here is a Hagström I and was primarily sold in the USA.
Keep on strömmin'

Really? The picture I have of Bowie, he's playing a 2 pick up with full face resin top just like what's posted here. Unfortunately I can't post it but if you Google/ images-Hagstrom you should find it, that's how I got it.
