The faces of old and new were to be seen in the guitars
themselves. Notice the Prototypes?
One from John Haskin, and Ulf's complete one which we
saw in July.
Here too were the new Hagstrom proto' models, on display
for the scrutiny of one of the most critically accurate audiences you
could find!
See a Swedish EMNordic
Catalogue from
September 2005
available at the show along
with those new proto models.
Plenty of detail, but sadly
not actually available still. |

Dealers and Collectors come together for the most
comprehensive display of Hagstrom equipment, information, and
demonstrations.

Hey did you see those two Jimmy Ovals?
First and last, and the first time together! |
| |
|
 |
Some collections had amps,
mics and keyboards even!
|
| |
|
 |
Then very soon the people started to arrive |
| |
|
 |
Many generations of Hagstrom People
Bengt and his wife still have the associations
Hans Mattsson a former employee on the retail side, and
what's that box on the table???
(Later... Later)
...and I really must find out the name of the guy left
of picture - he has some amazing accordions pictured elsewhere in this
report.

Halkan is open to offers!
Well Bill what was he bid for this fine pair in the end? |
| |
|
 |
How many Hagströms do you see here? |
| |
|

There is also some amazing story attached to the
accordion guy. This is where the language thing occasionally falls down,
so many smiles and nods, but we had no idea what we were saying to each
other...
Really nice guy too, very much into Hagstrom, and I know
he's got an interesting story there...
Loads of pictures of a road crash and the guy in
bandages were to go up on the wall later on from this shot. I did intend
to get the 'low-down' on it, but there was so much else going on!
Another time. |

In terms of the UK/USA contingent only Manfred Graeder is missing - but
then he took the picture!
John Haskin, "yours truly", and Bill Marriott - clearly all having a good
time!
