Back home from Stockholm. Didn't have a lot of time to spare but on the way to a restaurant I found a nice store called Hellstone Music. Tons of old Hagstroms of course, many jazz boxes - old Gibson, Levin, Höfner (I actually helped them find the exact model number for one of the archtops, they didn't know Steve Russel's website), played a nice '74 Jazz bass and a sunburst EB2 (yep, still don't like them), but the highlight was a 1960 Höfner 500/1, close-spaced toaster-top pickups, flat back, black binding, dark tort control panel (missing pickguard), rugby tuners, and that "cavern" style headstock fascia. It sounded nice, the neck was okay - not bowed and the action was what you can expect - but what can I say, full-bodied Hofners sound so much better to me.
