It's a Hagstrom. Not a Les Paul.

Hagstrom. You can tell most easily by the headstock.

They seem to have pretty good reviews... Do you think the one he is playing is an orginal or reissue?
Thanks for all the help!!!

Hagstrom Swede (or maybe a Super Swede) Jan Akkerman of Focus played one back in the day... I had a buddy in high school that played one (sometime around 1974).

They stopped making them for a long time, but they are now available again. I don't think the new production models are all that good (from what I have heard). If you can find an original 70's vintage Swede, they are quality instruments.
