All new Hagstrom electric guitars include the company’s patented H-Expander truss rod. Providing tension at either end and running the entire length of the neck, the rigid yet lightweight alloy truss rod allows for a very low action and thin neck, two factors that were instrumental in earning Hagstrom its reputation as the world’s fastest playing guitar.
Ensuring accurate tuning, Hagstrom’s exclusive 18:1 gear ratio machine heads are also included on all electric models.
On models featuring tremolo,
sustain is further enhanced by the use of the Full Contact System tremolo bridge (FCS-1) full contact bridge system, which offers more contiguous contact than any other tremolo bridge on the market.
Driving the guitar body with uninhibited string energy also generates maximum tone and sustain, so the Hagstrom block stop tailpiece is employed to deliver the maximum vibration into the body.
A self-lubricating graphite composite nut ensures increased sustain and vibration through improved transfer of energy to the neck, while the hard tropical mahogany tone woods used on the body produce a warm, mellow sound.
Hagstrom uses only the finest select tone woods and figured wood stocks to enhance the sound and beauty of each instrument. North American Hard Rock Maple, arguably the finest neck wood and used by the best luthiers world wide, further enhances the playability, durability and bright articulate tone.
Resinator Wood is a wood composite material that is homogeneous in nature and is more stable than any standard wood product. It is the perfect fingerboard material in that it eliminates wolf tones or hot spots. It has an articulate sound like high quality Ebony without the problems associated with Ebony.
Hagstrom guitars feature a high grade polyester finish which delivers a much harder, smoother and denser finish while also producing much better sonic performance than polyurethane which is used on the majority of other guitars.
Hagstrom guitars are legendary among guitarists because of their playability, beauty and durability. This new family of Hagstrom guitars builds on that reputation with the use of several unique innovations in materials and manufacturing techniques that bring Hagstrom boldly into the 21st century.
