Pat Smear, a guitarist with a very serious CV. The Germs, Nirvana and Foo Fighters. All these bands wouldn't be so legendary without Pat Smear. Pat has been playing with Hagstrom for a long time. In fact Pat Smear has the largest Hagstrom collection in America. That's why it's only logical he created a signature model This Hagstrom is a versatile rock / punk machine. With cool specifications such as; mahogany body, nato top, mahogany neck, Hagstrom Custom 58 humbuckers, roller bridge, 3 way selector, 2x volume and 2x tone controls.
For the development of the necks, Hagstrom went back to the drawing board; the mahogany neck has a "Resinator" fingerboard. This is a composite wood that has all the sound and color characteristics of ebony (which we usually find in more luxurious guitars) but offers a superior density, uniformity and above all stability. In addition, every Hagstrom has the unique "H-Expander" trussrod; an H-shaped neck pin that is very stiff but also very light. Hagstrom has well understood that the bottleneck for guitars in a price range below 1000 EU is often the neck. Instability leads to decreased playing comfort and regular tuning or in the worst case protruding frets due to a shrinking fingerboard. Nothing like that with a Hagstrom! Then the finishing. With beautiful design details in the self-developed hardware which are both aesthetically and technically well thought-out, as well as the flawless bindings, Hagstrom really performs above standard!
This guitar does not include a case or gigbag.
