This is a one owner guitar, purchased new by the guitar player from famous band The Shamrocks, a band that made 12 albums and the bass player purchased a bass at the same time, they went together to Hagström Musik on Drottninggatan in Stockholm in October or November of 1962 and bought their instruments from store clerk Bosse Waldersten (later famous musician and producer) and paid the 2300SEK (or similar, this is all taken from memory) that the guitar cost back then, the guitar was used full-time until the fall of 1968 and wasn't used until 1989 when they did a TV broadcast gig at Restaurant Tyrol, hasn't been played since then
This guitar has the original finish and all original parts with all original electronics but the first and only owner installed 3 mini switches in the pickguard and used a chisel to make room in the body under the pickguard
More specs: no paint stick mark in the neck pocket (correct for this era, before the fall of -64), 3pc black bottom pickups with untouched solder joints so not rewound, 2pc Stackpole pots dated 3046218 (18th week of 1962) and 1pc 3046207 (7th week of 1962), worn original frets, missing one wood screw in the bridge, including original back plate and bridge cover (in the case), missing tremolo arm and the broken arm is still in the neck block, needs to be drilled out so a new arm can be installed, we haven't done the work as we leave this to the next owner
More info on the Shamrocks; The pop band the Shamrocks, from Huddinge outside Stockholm in Sweden, belong to the same 60s generation as the Hep Stars, Tages and Shanes. If you haven't heard of them, it's perhaps not so strange - in Sweden they didn't achieve any major successes. But the fact is that Shamrocks were probably the internationally most successful Swedish band during the 60s! The band was formed in 1962 by the core Björn Wrangert and Jan Granath. Dieter Feichtinger and Kent Risberg, among others, were added later. The group's role models were updated early on from the Shadows to the Beatles and the success was not long in coming. In 1963, they were first called "Stockholm's Beatles" and then, as an onion on the salmon, "the Beatles of the Nordic countries". The debut single came in 1964 and later that year it was followed by a recording of Vince Taylor's hit Cadillac. But at Tio i Topp (the popular radio show) it didn't work out, as you know Hep Stars also recorded Cadillac and got their big break with the song. Curtain, one would think. But the band soon ended up on the international record company Polydor, which invested in the group. They began touring Europe with celebrities such as Animals, Pretty Things, Manfred Mann and Johnny Halliday. Cadillac was a big hit in France and success followed in a number of other countries as far away as Japan. The band was still active in the 2000s and could for example be heard at a pop gala at Tyrol in Stockholm on March 23 of 2013.
