TheGreek Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Considering some of the monstrosities that have been for sale recently I think that this one's not bad..

Bassassin Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 The body made me think of a modified Washburn B20 Stage: In fact I'd bet that's what the design's based on - which is why the identical lower half works, and the top looks like a chopped up mistake. The headstock, on the other hand, is just a complete mess. The seller talks about this as though it's some kind of sought-after rarity (OK, I know it's Ebay!) but is/was O'Hagen a "proper" builder? This just looks like a typical knocked-up-in-a-shed lumpy piece of junk, like all these efforts by people with zero woodworking ability & even less aesthetic sense. Jon. Quote
lemmywinks Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 The fit and finish looks decent, at least this one has been built by someone who can actually use a router. Ugg-er-lee shape IMO, still a country mile away from some of the horror stories flagged up recently. That fretless is still giving me nightmares. Quote

Angular bouts can work - for example the ACG Gallus (although it's asymmetric): Quote
