By Alfred Obi


Hagstrom guitars this is the sole distinguished guitar organisation that operates out of sweden. The hagstrom guitars was made by albin hagstrom in the 1920s, in this time he imported german accordions as electrical guitars weren't yet available. In 1932 they started producing their own accordions. In 1958 the hagstrom guitars organisation made its first electrics. All these were covered in sparkling celluloid, which was previously utilized in accordions.

History Of Hagstrom Guitars.

Plenty of the first models of hagstrom guitars were comparatively typical in shape, exploiting a rounded off Les Paul shape or an equal double cutaway style. A lot of them where understood with 4 single coils in a position that made them resemble humbuckers. Some the products also had a clear Perspex fingerboard and a white pearl neck. hagstrom guitars made vibrato units that were optional on most models.

The guitars usually included a switch selector and unjustifiable range of rollers to split the pick-ups and change the noises. Hagstrom Guitars were understood to be extravagant, and did not met a fabulous success initially when they started making them. Countless guitar players chose the most simple of the relatively basic american guitar instrument from fender and gibson, rather than the ostentatious finishes and complicated brand supplied by hagstrom, hofner and the big variety of fledgling Japanese makers.

Hagstrom recognised this issue and made a decision to presented a conventional and better looking guitars. These sorts of guitars includeds a les paul shaped guitar, the viking, a semi-acoustic which would be later be made use of by frank zappa and his kids for over 30 years with the sg influenced I, II and III models that are on sale now as the f-200.

This introduction of brand new hagstrom guitars wasn't acceptable to save the business, as an end result of rivals in the market as of that time in the ever-increasing Japanese makers hagstrom closed down his company in 1983.

In 2004 the hagstrom business was reopened by tricor ab, who now distribute the guitars as well. Currently hagstrom guitars are made in numerous chinese producing facility and are offered for around 100-500 gbp. The brand new hagstrom guitars are based upon the guitars made after hagstrom stopped production of the lurid finish in 1958 to1960s period that's the model they are producing which is primarily the swede f 200 and the viking, though with some mint alterations and designs presented the new variations of hagstrom guitars have a never-ending designs.

Original hagstrom guitars have a massive cult following due to their rarity and originality, to the point that there is a hagstrom party in Sweden for the initial few days of each June. For their resist fans it is glorious to see this old tradition back in action.
