I send you some new Pics of my Isabella, and one of my other guitars. I Buy my Isabella in 1972, when I was 19. She was about 25 years my only Guitar. 1992, when my oldest son learned E-Guitar, I buy a wonderful Flying V from "Höfner", and in 1997 a 12-String. In March 2002 I got a handcrafted Dreadnought from "Lakewood" (on the left of my Isabella) , with solid spruce-top and solid sides and bottom of mahogany. Its a lovely guitar, but it costs 3200 DM. In spite of my other guitars i often play with my Isabella, because of her charmng sound. With best wishes Randolf Clausen ED: This guitar looks so bright and
clean - it is superb condition. Just take a close look at the pictures. This is
a guy who knows how to look after his guitars.
It was love at first sight, the most beautiful guitar I had ever seen. I remember it cost Hfl.595 - and that was an enormous amount of money for me. (In Euro money thats about 260) - It took me almost a year to get the money. Remember I was only 16 and still at school. The ser.number of this guitar is 54163091.
Although I have owned and sold quite a lot of guitars, this is such a beautiful instrument that I will always keep it. At this moment the Isabella is accompanied by an Yamaha-sg 400 electric (the santana guitar) a 1984 Jose Ramirez (don't like that one as much as the Hagstrom!) 1964 Madrid made Estruch classical, 1985 Morris BW-650 9 string (steelstring) Epiphone Les Paul special and an Ovation 1111.4 deep bowl steelstring. Regards, Frans Beijer. Well Frans, I know the feeling on owning
an Isabella. They are so undervalued, unless you own one yourself, then they are
treasure itself.
Jeane Krieger from Canada brings her treasured example of over 33 years! Hi, my name is Jeane and I own a Bjarton Isabella serial # 118302. I purchased it in 1971 when I was 18. Don't remember the exact price but seems that it was close to a month's rent. Mine has some red, black and green inlay as well as the rosette insert around the sound hole. It also has the "Hagstrom" decal on the head. ...was packed around from 1971 to 1994 with "no" case other than a little plastic cover...appraisal (1994) promted me to get a hard case....In 1982 (over 20 yrs ago) I was offered $1000 but would not sell, someone obviously knew what they saw. I've known from day one that this guitar is special, what young girl would spend a month's rent on nothing? Has a teeny weeny triangular dent on the top but I'm told it only increases the appeal... Talk to you soon...Jeane
The inlay is very clean and bright, as is the rest of this lovely example. It is a similar style to the one on the UK collection. A well treasured beauty, and exceptional condition as you can see from these 'just taken' photo's. Thank you for taking the trouble to send in your pictures Jeane.
He also picked up a hard case for it at the same time... a great investment I submit since the case is in considerably poor condition compared to the Isabella which is still in fabulous shape! Interestingly, the warranty card is still in the case and a
little rough around the edges! lol.
Despite a current period of financial stress its not likely we'll be able to part with this rare treasure... it really is a joy for us! Great Site! Kathleen & Joe Tardi Thanks Kathleen and Joe. It's interesting that the logo is placed either vertical or horizontal on the headstock of many of the models. This laos happens with some electric models such as the H12 solid twelve string, and a few others.

| There's nothing like a REAL original Swedish made Hagstrom (and there are loads around), but if it 'floats your boat', or you can't find an original then who are we to say? | |

My name is
Frans Beijer, 44 years old and I live in Holland. What an amazing website ! My
compliments. I send you some pictures of my very well used Isabella. I bought
this guitar brand new in 1975 when I was 16 years old. 
Hi there
Hagstrom Lovers! These pics are of my husband's Isabella (Serial # 124139) that
he purchased in 1971 when he was 18. He bought it on instalments for a total of
$200 CDN in Fredricton, New Brunswick, CAN.
