Link to Hagstrom Swede.

I bought my first in 76 it was made in 73, still own it, wore it out, but can't part with it. I don't like the color of the one in the link, mines cherry red, with the wood grain shining through. Over the years a number of people have bought new guitars, we would switch and they liked mine better. You can get one new for a little under $700.00. The body and neck are mahogany, back in 60-70's when they first came out, their slogan was:

The fastest neck in the world.

I bought another swede about 2 years ago, it has a clear coat so it's a deep red. It's CNC made in China, but it plays just like the first one and the finish is flawless.

Found a better link:
