Hi. I found a Super Swede Tremar made in 2018. It Is sold as new, but It has some years anyway, and some slight signs of pick strumming on the top... Maybe people testing the guitar... It was made in China and is available in a local shop. Any experiences with this 2018 model? I don't know of more recent models have different features.
Besides, in your opinion is fair a price around 700 € (around 720 USD)?
Thank you for any help.

Hi Everyone, I have recently acquired a Hagstrom Ultra Lux Ultra Swede with a spalted maple top. I am hoping Mr. Thornton Davis can help me identify the year of it's birth and any other details. Here is the serial number ... M10061050. So happy to have found this guitar and this site as well. Thanks Mr. Davis for any help you can provide. Dave.

Agent T,
I can’t tell you much other than your Viking is a reissue that was made in October 2021.

Semi related... I had my s/n decided already, just wondering if anyone has original humbuckers / tuners for a 70's Swede for sale?

narmtrahkick, your H-33E of course is an 12 string acoustic/electric that was manufactured by Bjarton of Sweden and marketed in North America by both Hagstrom and Espana. The Bjarton version of it is the BJ-12EL. Hagstrom marketed it as the H-33E and Espana marketed their version as the Cromwell C-112.
The serial number of your H-33E dates it to having been made in mid 1968. TD

Thanks TD!
Hello all:
My good friend passed away last summer and I am helping his wife go thru his guitars. This one looks pretty retro. I started playing in a band in 1962 and this looks like something from the early '60's.
I'll attach some photos. The red vinyl body covering has started to pull away from the top in the cutaways around the neck. It's missing the nut and knob for the vol control, also the "whammy" bar. ( I think that's what it's called... I'm just a dumbaas drummer.
not a guitarist. It has a S/N of 6391160. Would like to know something about it. MFG date ? Is it a rare model ? Where can I get it appraised for sale ? I'm in Connecticut USA.
Thank you for any info. Durff

Durff, your friends Hagstrom is a model Kent-1 that was made in production run 639. That run commenced in 1965 and finished in 1966 producing 3,202 Kent-1 guitars. This one was the 1,160th to have been made in the run and was made in 1965.
