A Deep Bond

Pat Smear needs no introduction. He has been a vanguard of rock music his entire career, from the early years as a founding member of the seminal punk band "The Germs", to his stint with the legendary Nirvana, and on to his current role laying down colossal riffs for the Foo Fighters.

Hagström has been his instrument of choice since the 1970’s, creating a deep and authentic bond that has lasted decades.

The team at Hagström Guitars were both pleased and honoured to be given the task of transforming his privately customized and road-proven vintage Hagström into the Pat Smear Signature guitar you see here. An additional source of pride for us is that the Pat Smear Signature guitar you find at your Hagström dealer is identical to the one Pat plays night after night on some of the largest stages in the world.

Pick one up at your Hagström dealer and join us in this unique, historic relationship.

This slick black beauty is a voluptuous blend of vintage Hagström H-IIN-OT and modern-day Super Swede. Its sleek mahogany body and deeply contoured maple top provide a deep, projecting platform for Hagström’s Custom 58 AlNiCo humbucking pickups, enabling the guitar to cut through the mix and sit right in the middle of the Foo’s triple-guitar onslaught. Elegant, clean tones meet highly saturated distortion. Just what Pat wanted.

PAT SMEAR SIGNATURE FEATURES:

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 light-weight 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.
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".
Hagstrom Machine Heads
Hagström models use 18:1 or 15:1 gear ratio machine heads based on their own designs to insure accurate tuning. Viking and HB series basses feature machine heads with a 17:1 gear ratio
