I own and have restored as far as I can a Hagstrom J-45 once owned by Reg Meuross. Alas it now has a non-Hagstom trussrod thanks to some ill-advised tinkering by a pre-Meuross owner. It has one non-Hagstrom machine head, on the G string, and I recently got probably the last unused correct machine head for this guitar in the WORLD only to discover that it was the wrong hand over and would have fitted the E to D strings but not the G to topE. These machine heads were made by KOLB in Germany in the 60s and have a figured german silver cover, and a rectalinear button (with rounded corners). If anyone has one such I would be eternally grateful and pay the right price...

I would also be interested in the previous history of the guitar if anyone knows it - in particular the serial number has been removed...
