Hagstrom / 1967/1995 Archtop / 1967 / Guitar
|
Excellent condition, 8,5/10, luxurious blonde archtop made in the Bjarton factory in Bjarnum, Skane during the time when Jimmy Daquisto flew over to Sweden to oversee the prototype run of Hagstrom Jimmy-guitars, this body was left in the factory until famed Swedish guitar maker Mats Silfverstam (Mabass Custom Guitars) in Karlskoga got a chance to buy some old parts and build guitars out of them, this one was finished back in 1995 and has a Hagstrom neck without logo, this guitar is unique in the way that it is a larger archtop model than any other Hagstrommodel ever produced with back and sides in incredible flamed maple, beautiful and tight grained spruce in the top. According to Mats there were 3 bodies of this type in the lot, probably prototypes that were rejected. He used the same type of laquer that Hagstrom did, acrylic, and mounted gold hardware including the best Gibson pickups he could find. In more recent years the previous owner let master luthier Tobias Lindberg (TLL Guitars) custom manufacture a new ebony taipiece and a full ebony bridge-foot for increased sustain, and he also has Magnus Ramel (MR Inlay) custom make a set of ebony humbucker rings and truss rod cover to really get that Benedetto-feeling going! Including Hiscox hardcaseKropp fran Jimmy D Aquistos period i Sverige (-67), fardigstalld och lackad med Hagstromhals utan logga av Mats Silverstam. Unik gitarr som bestar av en storre archtopkropp an ngn annan Hagstrommodell med sidor och botten i otroligt flammig lonn, vacker och tatadrig gran i locket. Historien bakom detta ar att gitarrbyggaren Mats Silverstam i Karlskoga kopte upp stora delar av Hagstroms reservdelslager i mitten av 90-talet och fick da tag i dessa delar som ingen sett tidigare. Enligt honom fanns 3 kroppar av samma typ, troligen prototyper. Han anvande samma lacktyp som Hagstrom gjorde, dvs akryllack, och monterade guld hardvara inkl de finaste Gibsonmikarna som han kunde fa tag i. Extremt lyxig jazzgitarr med en spannande historia, jamn och fin i tonen, inkl hardcase
