- 1970s Lotos Bass - Made In Poland And Styled After Hagstrom
guitarz.blogspot.com: You'd be forgiven for thinking on first sight that this was a Swedish-made Hagstrom bass, but it's actually a LOTOS made in Poland. Actually, the logo does look a little like "LOTOR" but I guess that could be a stylized lowercase...
- Electra Japanese-made Copy Of A Hagstrom Ii
guitarz.blogspot.com: Today I'm showing you this 1970s(?) Electra guitar just to prove that once upon a time it wasn't just the likes of Fender, Gibson and Rickenbacker that were being copied en masse by Far Eastern manufacturers*. It's a...
- Ultra-cool 3-pickup Hagstrom Impala Spotted In Chet Faker Video
guitarz.blogspot.com: We at Guitarz are big fans of Sweden's Hagstrom guitars, and although we've featured a Hagstrom Impala on these pages before, it's always nice to get to see a cult classic guitar in action and to hear the kind of coolness...

This is a Univox copy of a Hagstrom - check out the Vibrato tailpiece on this guitar? Very interesting. And check out that case. Apparently these are japanese Tributes to the Swedish guitar circa 1975. Thereis info about this model and more photos posted...
- Vintage Hagstrom 1 In New York For $375
This is the one I refer to as the "Ziggy Stardust Model" since Bowie is holding one on the cover. Certainly not a pristine example but he says it all works fine. Not a bad price for this model. The necks on these are very thin and fast so if you...
Guitar
James Chance, the Contortions and a Hagström Kent
guitarz.blogspot.com:
Another video, that gives the opportunity to see an Hagström Kent in action - played by Pat Place, one of the two guitarists of James Chance and the Contortions, a late 1970S New York-based No Wave band that combines jazz-punk with funk (it is said that James Chance differed from many of his No Wave colleagues, since he was really mastering his instrument - the saxophone - and expected the same from his musicians).
I cannot see the guitar very distinctly for the video is shot in a very... No Wave way, but it must be a PB-24-G model with its bolted acrylate front, the grid between its two single coils and the four switches in a curve. It sports the Hagström logo (you noticed that I write Hagström with a "ö", though it is distributed as Hagstrom in English speaking countries, but Umlauts are cool, aren't they?) but to tell you what it says would be complicated, for the same model had different names in different countries - for example Futurama in UK - the name evolved over time (1962-1966) and there's been at least three different versions of it...
