I've never played a hagström (notice the "ö"). The old once are real collectors-items now. I think they quit in the eighties and then started again within the last ten years or so. As far as I know the new ones are really good. I do have a very good hagström gigbag bought for my cheap dean evo — costed as much as as the guitar...

I live in Stockholm. Looking out the window at trees in colours from green to yellow right now. Your friends music was really good, I enjoyed the song about the archipelago.

... I really want one of those squier '51. They go for just above $100 at ebay, but I have to get them sent to me. Would be a fine supplement to my tele and the dean.

I  have no idea how these sound, but they sure look cool.

Haven't got an "ö" on my keyboard!

Stockholm is beautiful. Especially Gamla Stan 

Aren't there any guitar shops in Sweden?!

I wouldn't mind a Gibson Les Paul of some sort and a Fender Jaguar.

The Roland VG-99 V-Guitar system models classic guitars such as Les Paul (Standard and Junior), Stratocaster, Telecaster, Danelectro, Rickenbacker 360, Gibson ES-335, Gibson L-4, Martin D-28 and 000-28, Gibson J-45 and B-25, Guild D-40, 12-string, and nylon string guitar. It also models bass guitars (Fender Jazz and Precision), Dobro, banjo, sitar, organ, and several guitar synths, including a full implementation of the Roland GR-300. And it has two separate channels so you can play any two guitar models at the same time from a single guitar. Plus alternate tunings so, for example, you could instantly switch to Open G or DADGAD tuning without re-tuning your guitar! If that's not enough, it also includes, not one, but two full COSM effects channels, each with many more effects and amp/speaker models than any of the BRs. And it has a built-in pitch-to-midi converter so you can play your keyboard synth from your guitar instead of the keys.

At $1,295.00 US, it's not cheap, but well worth the money considering all it can do. And it's a lot cheaper than buying all those guitars.

Check out the video demos here:

That Roland guitar emulator/modeller looks fantastic, but it wouldn't have me salivating the way a red ('George Harrison') Rickenbacker 360 12 would......

I just bought me a s51 like above. shipping it to a hotel my friend is staying at in california, then he'll bring it home.

There are alot of guitarsshops here. I can't understand how they all can make a profit, especially those that deal in expensive vintage. halkans.com is a classic. I bought a superreverb there 20 years ago and was soo nervous when I tried in that small place where any super guitarist could come in at any time. I miss that amp.

There's some freaky stuff on there! Interesting and original designs, but too freaky for me!

My s51 has arrived!
It needs to be adjusted, but it's a great guitar. Amazing value. Check them out if you have the chance. The humbucker is not a loud one and works great with the strat-pickup. When played clean, its more a telecaster punch to it. They were once sold for $100, now you can get one for under $200 which still is a bargain. I have a -78 telecaster with seymour duncan pickups and I can't see that the s51 is much less of a guitar.
