This is an original 1961 Goya Model 80. This 2 pickup blue sparkle-finished guitar was built in Sweden by Hagstrom Guitars. This is one of the nicest examples we have ever seen. The guitar is of bolt-on construction and has lots of ‘60s appointments with the blue sparkle paired with the blue sparkle pearloid covering, similar to the period drum shells. It is in very nice cosmetic condition and plays well. There are some pearloid cracking that has been bonded to prevent any further movement, which is har4d to see and doesn't affect the playability. The electronics are fully functional and the instrument sounds fabulous! Goya brand guitars were made by Hagstrom in Sweden in the 50's and 60's for the North American market. This 1961 Model 80 with a blue sparkle top has loads of vibe. It has a chambered body and is constructed of wood and pearloid covering. The pearloid back is extra cool. There are two single coil pickups that are selected through a bank of push buttons. Pickup volume is controlled with individual thumbwheels. The beautiful sound of this guitar in a clean amp is as impressive as it's sound in a distorted tube amp from the 60's!
