Hagström Jimmy prototypes |
James L. "Jimmy" D'Aquisto arrived in Sweden in |
1967 to show the factory workers at Bjärton |
how to build the archtop guitar he had designed |
for Hagström. Reportedly, ten examples were |
built under his supervision, of which not all were |
completed. Some unfinished bodies and necks were |
sold as parts decades later. |
Only a few has surfaced: |
