Very close but not quite.

It is a 60's Hagstrom.

A search of the forum reveals that the earliest post about these guitars was one asking if they were an offset ?

So many nice details on those old Hagstroms. Even the bridge saddles look kind of unique. Very nice indeed!

One question: is that nut original? It kind of looks like someone could've pulled out a zero fret there and squeezed in a top nut in its place.

Pat would find one covered in punk band stickers, a Jazzmaster tremolo and Strat pickups. It would be a Hagmaster.

I had a Hag 1, man did it have some low frets but still played okay. It definitely has its own
thing going on, quirky and you’ll be the only one on your block with one. :D

that's a sexy ass guitar, I prefer the burst ones but the black is a great color too
I used to be cool, now I just complain about prices.

The nut doesn't look original

But I don't think these had a zero fret

The nut looks exactly like the one on my '65 Hagstrom II.
