American Music & Sound - Hagstrom Guitars

H-Expander Truss Rod

All Hagstrom guitars feature our revolutionary 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 very low action and a thin neck, earning us our reputation as the “Fastest Neck on the Planet.”

Resinator™ Fretboard

Yet another Hagstrom exclusive, the Resinator™ Fretboard is an extraordinary, homogeneous wood composite that maintains a strong fundamental harmonic and eliminates wolf tones. Resinator™ Fretboards offer the articulate sound of high quality ebony but with more consistency and durability. Silky smooth, reliable, and fast, the Hagstrom neck is a guitarist’s dream come true.

World-Class Materials

At Hagstrom, we hand select the finest tone-woods and figured wood stocks from around the world. Hagstrom guitar bodies are made from hard tropical mahogany woods for an impressive, warm and full sound. Our necks are created from the world’s finest North American Hard Rock Maple providing a bright, expressive tone and superb playability.

Hagstrom’s Self-Lubricating Graphite Composite Nut is much harder than bone or plastic resulting in more string vibration through the neck. Also, tuning is improved and string binding is eliminated by self-lubrication.

Cutting-Edge Hardware

Our rock solid Hagstrom Block Stop Tailpiece provides maximum tone and endless sustain by transferring uninhibited string energy directly to the guitar body. On models featuring tremolo, sustain is further enhanced by our Full Contact System (FCS-1) tremolo bridge, which offers more contiguous contact than any other tremolo bridge, period.

Hagstrom’s exclusive 18:1 Gear Ratio machine heads are standard on all electric models and ensure fully accurate tuning.

Jaw-Dropping Finish

Hagstrom guitars feature a high grade polyester finish that is harder, smoother, and more dense than polyurethane, found on most other guitars. Our polyester finish looks amazing and provides better protection and sonic performance.

The Bottom Line

Since 1958, Hagstrom has been combining legendary design with revolutionary materials, hardware, and manufacturing techniques to create what some call “the perfect guitars.” Visit your Hagstrom dealer today and experience guitar perfection yourself. We must warn you though, once you play the “Fastest Neck on the Planet”, you may have a hard time putting it down!
