From a local Pawn Shop. It's beat up. They wanted $200 for it, I offered the guy $150 because it needs neck binding and he took it. The tuners were replaced at some point with Patent Pending Grovers. The headstock overlay is peeling near the tip so I just need to glue that down. It also needs new pickup rings , they're both fucked. The electronics are all functional but a little crackly, probably needs a cleaning. The neck pickup and ring are backwards. I'd never played a Swede until I saw this one, they're nice.

I'm not sure what year it was made but it was made in Sweden and the first 3 digits of the serial number are 905, so it has to be pre 1977(They went in order of batch number from 499 in 1958-59 up to 999 in 1977, not sure how they worked after that).

Anyways here it is, as you can see it needs some work(Maybe it belonged in projects?).

nice find congrats...

how does that neck attach, it looks INTERESTING.

that looks awesome! Nice find!

Thanks guys.

I haven't taken that plastic plate off yet, but will when I get home from work. Pics of it's contents later.

Didn't you also get a cheap Jaguar out of a pawn shop?

Yeah, a 1990's CAR/Matching Headstock one for $225. Incidentally, the Pawn Shops I bought them from are on the same road.

I don't have a decent camera to record with, but I think my roommate does. He's out of town visiting his family until the 27th. I'll get it all set up and try to record a demo when he gets back. If all works out I'll do another one for my Guild.

Goes to show you don't have to pay top dollar to get a great instrument. With a little bit of money I'm sure you'll end up with a great playing and sounding guitar.
