A Hagstrom P46 Deluxe - they swapped out the regular whammy for a Bigsby... an improvement for sure. It might be early '60s dodgy Swedish pron but it's pron nevertheless!

What are those buttons that look like the buttons you used to find in a wall mounted 70's hotel room radio?

Looks like they're pick up selector buttons, volume and tone buttons... there's also a "reset switch"!!
Here's a collector's pic:

I actually had a Hagstrom like that (without the Bigsby off course) but it was ghastly blue...

Had for a while and eventually swopped at the local music shop for strings, guitar stand, tuner etc.

Before the days of the internet, had no idea what a Hagstrom was. I helped a friend out who was in financial difficulties and paid him R100.00 in 1997.

What a Wally I was

It's a small, furry Norwegian marsupial, a distant relative of the Haggis that stills roams the Scottish highlands.

An OTT Tokai custom-shop creation:







This one's billed as an LS900 (implying the price would be around Y500,000 Y900,000 or more or less R40K R75K). They really gave this one everything. It even has NOS bumblebee capacitors.

Not necessarily. Could easily have been ordered by someone from one of those Japanese glam-metal bands ?

It reminds me of a Zemaitis, and those guitars definitely ended up on stage (that's how I knew about them). I doubt anybody's going to set it on fire though.

This, however, is acceptable:

I knew this would be contentious ?

The advantage is that at the end of a gig you have a neat Fender imprint on your forearm ?

... in mirror image of course.

This one's probably a repost but I don't care ?







Often they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, sometimes they say beauty is in the eye of the beerholder, if you find this next one beautiful I say you're on crack ?
