Subject: RE: Ever heard of this guitar
I never heard of Levin, but Goya guitars....did Martin keep the brand name and move the manufacturing (and design/quality)? I've seen plenty in Canada, mostly seemed to be entry-to-mid level and nothing to write home about.

As for Swedish guitars, the Hagstrom Swede comes to mind immediately!
I never had a Swede, but my first decent electric guitar was a (quite rare) Hagstrom Impala with push-button tone controls instead of knobs. A bit odd but worked well, nice neck to play on it too.
