by Gig Stig

This is a first class guitar from Hagstrom and resembles one of those guitars that appeared on the cover of the “Mel Bay play a tune in a day” tuition books from back in the 1960's that featured a smiling Mel Bay on the cover playing a beautifully ornate wide bodied Jazz guitar not unlike the HJ500.

 

Considering this guitar is made in China I am astounded by the quality of the finish which is superb. The sound of this guitar acoustically is very nice which bodes well for the up-coming test of connecting it to an amplifier.

 

The amplified sound is rich and warm with the neck pick up giving a thick creamy Jazz/Blues tone whilst the bridge pick-up is a little snappier and probably great for soulful R&B. The neck is extremely comfortable to the hand and there’s plenty of room for swift chord changes or rhythmical jazz chords.

 

When the HJ500 is cranked up a few notches it also produces some very nice blues tones that have plenty of sustain and resonance that would delight many blues guitarists.

 

This is a great come-back from Hagstrom, like a Phoenix from the flames they have turned it all around and now have a very good range of quality instruments at very reasonable prices. Give yourself a treat and come down to the Nevada Music Warehouse to try them …
