Let me see. I've got a Red Hagstrom II with nice original case Serial# 641391. I'm ~guessing~ 1964 model based on the earlier posts. I'm not sure it's worth much, as the paint shows its age. Not a bunch of chips but some shrinkage with the wood. Truly a great little guitar though. Excellent playability. Good Vintage Tone and fun, fun fun. If anyone can confirm the 1964 date that would be Great!
Thanks AJ
Batch 641 was built in 1965.
Congrats,

So.... Someone was banging out "19th Nervous Breakdown" or The Who's "A Quick One while he's away" on this while I was starting Kindergarten at Metcalf Elementary School in Gainesville, FL. Think of all the Herman's Hermits rhythms that still resonate under the paint!
All smiles - and vintage riffs,
