Hagstrom H-III Retroscape

The H-II and H-III were introduced in 1965; known for their quirky switches and easy playability, they quickly achieved wide popularity. Favorites among punk and grunge bands looking for a hard-rocking individualist statement, H-IIs and H-IIIs have been showing up in the hands of artists such as Aaron North (The Icarus Line, Nine Inch Nails) for years. Many people have been asking for years for these classics to be re-issued, and Hagstrom happily complied with lovingly recreated and updated versions of these great classics.

The Hagstrom H-III Retroscape Guitar, finished in 3-Tone Sunburst, features a comfortably profiled Canadian Maple neck, bolted to a hand-selected American Alder body, ensuring the original attack and "bite" of the H-II and H-III is maintained. The classic 6-in-line Hagstrom headstock design, used for the first production of H-IIs and H-IIIs, has been slightly updated, and the "Vintage Tremar" has been re-engineered for functional improvements without sacrificing its original appearance. Hagstrom has taken great care in recreating the original pickups, and the new ceramic "C-Spin" pickups do an excellent job of matching the originals' sonic glory. Tone-shaping functionality is enhanced by incorporating Hagstrom's new RC-Circuit into the volume control, which allows for volume reduction without the loss of that high frequency "shimmer". Hagstrom's H-Expander truss rod runs the full length of the neck, providing plenty of stability, and adding a round attack and even greater sustain. A Resinator Wood fingerboard provides comfortable playability for hours on end - Resinator Wood is a wood composite that has a stable, clear and articulate tone similar to Ebony.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Hagstrom H-III Retroscape Guitar, finished in 3-Tone Sunburst, is a great way for vintage and retro guitar enthusiasts to pick up an affordable version of an orignal Hagstrom design, with a great vintage vibe and more functional and reliable modern appointments.
