Jimmy D’Aquisto’s masterpiece for Hagström. Without a doubt, the master’s genius is expressed throughout this striking hollow-body guitar.
From its hand-carved solid spruce top and neck-body joint at the 16th fret, to its 25-inch (635mm) scale length, Jimmy’s masterful touch is woven into the soul Hagström’s HJ800. Hagström’s potent Custom 58 Allnico humbucking pickups produce a rich, full-bodied jazz tone with formidable attack. It’s up to you to take it on a rock detour into an uncharted sound universe.
HJ800 STANDARDS:
H-Expander
All Hagström electric guitars and basses include their patented H-Expander truss rod. Providing tension at both ends 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 Hagström its reputation as the world’s fastest playing guitar. The H-Expander truss rod not only provides ultimate neck stability, but it also contributes to Hagström’s unique tone. Longer sustain and a round attack are some of the sonic characteristics the H-Expander adds to the tonal essence of Hagström.
Trapeze Stringholder/Tailpiece
The classic Viking trapeze stringholder/tailpiece design, is a work of art in itself.
Right underneath the top part, where the two beautifully swept beams meet, it features a string claw for easy access and super comfortable string changes. Adorned with the legendary Hagström crest it truly is elegance defined.
Set Neck
Hagström uses a variety of different neck joints throughout their range. Their set-neck blueprint is the classic and time-tested Mortise and Tenon joint, a design that most efficiently transfers string energy from neck to body, and can often only be found on more expensive custom-built guitars. A team of experienced and dedicated craftsmen hand carves every neck joint, ensuring perfect execution of this traditional technique preferred by luthiers for generations.
Resinator Wood
Resinator wood is a wood composite material that is both more uniform in density and more stable than any standard wood product. These characteristics eliminate dead spots or "wolf tones" sometimes associated with conventional wood fingerboards. Resinator wood has an articulate sound similar to high quality ebony, but without any of the problems associated with ebony. It provides a stable and clear tone, and also adds higher overtones and harmonics which uniquely detail each note. Like their H-Expander truss rod, Resinator wood is a major contributor to the distinctive "Hagström tone".
Hagström Machine Heads
Hagström models use 18:1 or 15:1 gear ratio machine heads based on their own designs to ensure accurate tuning. Viking and HB series basses feature machine heads with a 17:1 gear ratio.
