Sweet find! My dad has a vintage Hagstrom (essentially the single cut version of this in black plaintop) that he never plays but which he spent a bit of money fixing up back to it's original state. It plays all right and sounds super-nice unplugged. It sounds good plugged in too but the pickups are microphonic to the point where you can shout into them.

It sounds pretty cool but the SOLO/ACC knobs don't really sound different and the roller wheel/pot on the treble side seems to not work. Will open it up and have a look.BoringPostcards wrote: ↑Thu May 07, 2020 7:58 pmRichtig Gutes Zeug! Mega schwer zu kriegen!
You always find the coolest rare stuff, Pat.
How does it sound? Are all the electronics working?
Neck has quite a bit of an upbow and I have to figure out the truss rod thing (does anybody have any usable hands on info on the H system?)
The plastic fretboard feels REALLY WEIRD. But I CAN'T take my eyes off it!!!
i love delay SO much ...that i procrastinate all the time.
