Jul 19 2007, 02:14 AM	GMC:er Posts: 4 Joined: 19-July 07	My neighbor gave me a guitar that he had packed away that he no longer wanted. It was a 1965 hagstrom III electric guitar. It came with a certificate of authenticity, and it stated that it was number 87 of 300 made in that style / color. It is all original, and everything is in tip top shape, except for a few nicks and scratches on the finish. No bowing at all, extremely low action, three single coil pickups. I just wonder what the thing is worth? any chance you guys might know? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I took it to 3 guitar shops and told them I knew nothing of it and they all offered me large sums of money, the lowest was 900 dollars, and the highest was 2,000 dollars. They acted as they were common, but i feel as if i was being snaked Also, on ebay last week there was one with a busted neck and refinished body for 1000. So i have no idea what to think You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.
