Hagstrom Swede (Deluxe) vintage

Is there anybody who can tell me more about my Hagstrom Swede from 1978?

Larry Coryell played them. I saw him at Richard's in Atlanta in the 70s and remember him throwing it down on the stage; which seems out of character for a jazz guy. But it was the fusion years and maybe he was having a bad night and not the guitar's fault.

Another picture. I was always curious about them and wanted to try one. Looks to be a Les Paul type for sure.

Sorry can't help, but that's a gorgeous Swede!

and by coincidence saw this in a current thread about St. Vincent.

I like that guitar but I think my gas bubble has burst.

Didn't Jan Akerman of Focus play a Framus?

Hello, could be, but that is not a Hagstrom. And it is Akkerman with double “k”

I believe one of the original guitarists in Kansas had one.
Coryel used his here:
