He knows where to get original parts, but they're teh spensive. I'm almost positive any LP nut will work with this, and they're yay cheap. Just buy some and try em out. As for the plastics, loads of companies custom cut pickguards and covers from tracings. Google one near to you. Actually, get in t...

Here's a link to an identical model to the guitar I have. I need all the back covers, except for the one covering the neck-bolts, the pickguard, and the nut. I also need the truss cover, but I've sourced one of those so it's not a huge priority. http://www.vintage-guitars.se/1973_Hagstrom_Swede_8511...

Can someone cut plastic covers for my guitar? Will pay
I have a Hagstrom Swede that's missing just about everything but the guitar. I got some parts, but I need back covers, a pickguard, and a new nut.
If anyone would be willing to cut any of that stuff I'd be willing to pay. I've got the dimensions of the nut and tracings of where the back covers go.

I don't get the big issue. I'm fed up of making my payment within minutes of winning the auction, and having to wait until I give my feedback before the seller gives me his. After I've paid for the item, my end of the deal is done, if he gets the money, why doesn't he trust me to give me positive? ...

What I mean is that I thought you wanted the neck to be flush with the body, but there's actually space between the neck and the body... like a gap where the bottom of the neck normally meets the body. So I wasn't sure if that was the normal distance on Swedes or if it was something I need to adjust...

One other question I had is about the space under the neck. I know people said that Swedes tend to be a little more than normal on neck spacing, but I was wondering if I need to adjust the following or if it'll adjust when I string up the guitar. Normally I would assume that it needs to be tightened...

Here's the bridge installed... a little bit ghetto-looking (holes are actually bigger than the nobs, but seems to snap in place anyway) http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/1892/bridgeinstalledsy3.jpg http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/210/bridgeinstalled2as8.jpg Is it better for me to try to get a pr...

Not the one on your Swede! Spot the difference: 1) 1973 Swede, like yours. http://www.vintage-guitars.se/1973_Hagstrom_Swede_851193.htm 2) 1978 Swede, like that guy probably has http://www.vintage-guitars.se/1978_Hagstrom_Swede_53_021582.htm You are correct, sir. His is the later version. Interesti...

Ok, so it looks like that actually works that way. I guess I haven't seen an instrument bridge that doesn't screw down since my classic orchestra days in grade school. Now I just need a nut. I contacted graph tech and they recommended the pt/pq 6000 pt/pq 6010 nuts. The actual nut (from the Hagstrom...

Wait, so you're saying the bridge just goes on loose and the string tension is supposed to keep it in place then? I contacted a guy in Sweden who had a bridge that actually screws down (of course several times the price though). The Swede pics I saw made it look like the bridges were supposed to be ...

Here are the pics: bridge and pole pics It doesn't line up right for one and the hole appears to be way too small. I brought it into Guitarcenter and they took a look at it. They pulled down a couple bridges. They said a Les Paul will work, but it needs the right thread for it. I scoured the web, bu...

Are there tool or machine shops available to the public?
Hey guys, I'm thinking of possible building myself a guitar sometime in the future (and possibly making myself some pickups in the nearer future) and was wondering if there're any machine shops or tool shops that let you use their tools or pay to use their tools on location. Maybe it sounds weird, b...
