UTILIZATION

First of all I want to say that this is my first Hollowbody!
Note: Channel delight I mounted elixir 9/46 very easy to access, it slides alone it seems almost an ESP Eclipse handle a little thicker ...
The beast seems at first sight impressive but when he was on hand to share the largest body or even a Strat Single Cut (logic on its primary function) as it is light anyway and the grip is excellent ! (Amazed)
Only downside: riding ropes origins as the majority after this is just my personal opinion!

SOUNDS

The people come: Big Slap!
It is so versatile that I used almost every day and I even sold my Marshall AS50D so it is docile is perfect even on a tube amp (JVM)!
The neck pickup is warm and sounds perfectly with a bit of reverb ... light blues and he responds very well!
The bridge pickup is amazing you can even do a good Gun's n Roses parfaitment crunch it with a good lil feedback effect (logic with hollowbody cavity) is that happiness!

OVERALL OPINION

In short we can do anything with, it fits (except the big metal that is not made specifically for I think!) ...
I used almost every day so it is versatile and very playful with TrémaR is a treat!
Its handle is a fabulous (I have several guitars including very expensive breakdowns, it is a highway!) its sounds are perfect, its versatility is spectacular and luthurie level is frankly yours!
If it again I foncerai eyes closed because it is vraimment surprising (though I was skeptical when buying!) ...
700 euros is EXPLOSIVE NEW!

Made in China
tuno easel / matic
HJ 50 micro
A 3-position selector
2 tone 2 volume ..... (knobs acceptable)
color black, rather modest sober but beautiful!
A remarkable vibrato to use, like all the guitar very ergonomic. Mechanical usual if their "look remains questionable", they are extremely efficient in light of understanding.

UTILIZATION

Channel meticulous brand specific, keys and truss resinator / rod. Excellent.
cargo 'jambo ... For access to acute?? worthy of the best 335.
The sound?? For microphones always the same in "HAG '... one likes or dislikes ...
I find it clean in the neck in very good CRUCH 'overdra'c'est and the bridge that I like ....

SOUNDS

She has two beams on all the length inside the body, from one end to another. They are adjusted under the table and down on the inner part of ... or at first sound a little more pronounced to an L / P to that a 1/4335 but at first just around .. With this internal frame resonance that repelled some of the traditional Viking seems annihilated and much less ... who's complaining, he left when even a little ...

Crystalline fat ... I would say ..
Because the vibrato / tailpiece) and tuno / colleague matic him on a clean metallic sound at low volume on neck pickup that I loved .. (A subculture will do the rest to just break free "over anything made" very blues .. ) You can add a slight crunch and hint of reverb. Delta very loved! loved it! .. can accentuate on Peavy (Delta / blues) for the rest it provides more extended styles with any amp, (the vintage'sont my low ... I admit)
Flexible enough to use but on the wrong "guitar amp or it's still bad!

This register more expanded. No problem it sends you crunch'et its wholesale and supports the setting up amp and distortion pedal almost muscular!. Do not go any further! Beautiful! Vibrato finally convinced even those who look "slanted" view with suspicion and reserve ...
Now the microphones? Always the eternal question about some guitars and some ..... for me before attempting anything I think is party to a lease in their company.

OVERALL OPINION

As always with HAGSTROM: Very affordable price for an undeniable quality. You get a premium finish immediately reassuring at first glance and first touch, at a cost I repeat myself very accessible ....
And that is why for several years with a brand that some retailers and not the least must have .... Thanks to their reliability, they sue a public appeal to all amateur and pros confirmed.
Tried other with vibrato?? yes going back in time to buy? not I contented myself with the brand, convinced that I could be disappointed (that already have more than excellent jazz!)
Of course I would do this choice ... I wanted a 335 vibrato was there ... why not ... Know what you want. It is expressed primarily on a certain style blues already cited above. Rather "retro" is real but she knows has unfailingly use fill an entire records including the broad 50S, 60/70S up rockabilly ' 80 .... With a view about something a little unfamiliar to the general public: the country blues ...
