Sweet and sexy new Hagstrom double cut.

[Hiwatts-n-Gibsons]

I am definitely a fan of this companies guitars. I had their Deluxe Viking Tremar for a about 5 years, and it was an awesome 335esque guitar. I wish this one had a more traditional Gibson 24.75 scale for this type of axe, but am not gonna hold that against it.

Anybody seen one in the wild and played it?

The review models Silverburst finish and aesthetics are sexy as hell imo.

“Delivering a resonance that speaks directly to the soul of your music”: The Hagstrom Megin is a double-cutaway guitar built for maximum tonal resonance to “unlock its tonal magic”

This mahogany-bodied double-cut is a little more magic than your usual six-string, so its maker says

Nice looking guitar for sure! Haven't seen it until now.

But I do have a Hagstrom 1 from 1962. Got the two single coils. It's got the red vinyl on the back and sides. Needs some work for sure, like new switches and a volume pot as those components have seen better days. It's a thinner neck but man, that neck is still rock solid due to the "I beam" truss rod.

New one to me... Looks good. I have Viking and Swedes.

Adjustable wrap for the win!

Note this is grey-burst not silver (and therefore not metallic).

Also look at the multi-ply binding. The other finish colors really do it justice.

Wish this came in Lefty...

Agreed, they all look really good. That said I might like the Adina even more now that I saw it. I'm a sucker for a Soapbar loaded axe.

I like it.

They also have a Tele-sque Double Agent OG without the Wilkerson whammy.

That lavender burst one is very sweet.

I sure love my Hagstrom Viking Deluxe w/ Tremar.

I sure love my Hagstrom Viking Deluxe w/ Tremar.

I had a gold one for a good while, like 5 or so years. It was a great guitar. It also made me a Bigsby lover for life, and I really dig their headstock. In fact their whole aesthetic appeals to me, and I really dig their wood composite fret boards and truss rod design too.

I could dig a gold one.

Hahaha, my '70s baby status was really showing in that post.

This is the Hagstrom I still like most

Never played one but that is very cool. I had a Hagstrom Viking Deluxe (which I also fitted a Bigsby too) to scratch my semi-hollow itch, and it was a brilliant playing and sounding guitar. There's a few signs it was made cheaply when you remove the pickups - I replaced the whole wiring loom and put in Burstbuckers, but you couldn't fault how it played. I only sold it this year since I got an ES-335 and didn't need them both.
