Hagstrom HJ500 Hollow Body Guitar in Natural Gloss *HGSSS
Classic Masterpiece
In the year of 1969, legendary luthier James “Jimmy” D’Aquisto began co-operation with Hagström that was to last a decade.
Hagström’s hollow bodied archtop jazz guitar series is the result, and the master’s craftwork is unmistakably written all over these instruments. In fact, the asymmetrical headstock designed by Jimmy is now used on most of the current Hagström models.
Clean and well-rounded jazz tones best accompany single note patterns, whereas walking bass chordal comping are the HJ500’s home turf, although it is fully capable of going a different route and taking on rock oriented soundscapes when necessary.
