Hagstrom HJ500 Hollow Body Guitar in Natural Gloss

Hagstrom HJ500 Hollow Body

The Hagstrom HJ500 Hollow Body Guitar, finished in Natural Gloss, is a faithful recreation of the jazz boxes produced by Hagstrom in the '60s and '70s. A Canadian Maple body with contoured top is matched with a Canadian Hard Maple neck, which has been expertly hand carved and joined using Hagstrom's classic mortise-and-tenon set neck joint system, for maximum 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. 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 pair of Hagstrom HJ-50 pickups are perfect for clean and clear jazz tones, sounding comfortably at-home with single note patterns and walking-bass chordal comping. These modern pickups are perfectly capable of handling distortion as well, handling heavier styles, like rock, with ease.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Hagstrom HJ500 Hollow Body Guitar in Natural Gloss is a great option for anyone looking for a reliable jazz guitar that's versatile enough to handle some of the heavy stuff too.
