VINTAGE HAGSTROM 111 ELECTRIC GUITAR
SERIAL NUMBER 624987
I am the proud owner of this vintage Hagstrom 111 guitar The pickups are round cornered & it has a switch plate so I believe it is a 1964 to 1967 vintage year, as the later models have square cornered pickups & no switch plate.
I've owned this guitar since the early seventies but am not the original owner. I can't guarantee that every switch, knob and wire are original, but nothing has changed in the last 40 years
See Condition description listed above. Guaranted to be as shown and described. Plays great with super low action.

Why is this guitar special? This is a vintage Hagstrom with a unique super cool electronics setup and an absolute killer old-school look.
The most noticeable features of this guitar are the line of switches that are below the pickups. The first three are on/off switches for each pickup,
making it incredibly easy to select which pickups you’d like to use, but also gives a few extra combination choices that a standard 5-way switch doesn’t have,
such as a combo of the neck & bridge, or all pickups simultaneously activated. The next three are composed of a tone switch to roll off the highs,
a mute switch acting like a small pad, and the last tone switch acting like a high-pass filter. Also, a main on/off which acts like a kill switch,
this setup offers supreme control over this vintage axe. the slim neck is incredibly easy to play,
with super low action and the blue finish is ultimately one well-defined Swedish Hagstrom III axe.
Electronics Functions: Hagstrom single-coil pickups. 1 x master on/off, 1 x neck pickup on/off switch, 1 x middle pickup on/off switch,
