Considering some of the monstrosities that have been for sale recently I think that this one's not bad..

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.

I think it's the total absence of top horn that really messes up the shape on this one. Angular bouts can work - for example the ACG Gallus (although it's asymmetric):
