<p>Hagstrom HJ500</p> <p>In 1969 the legendary luthier James ?Jimmy? D?Aquisto began a cooperation with Hagstrom that was to last nearly 10 years. Hagstrom?s hollow-body archtop jazz guitar series is the result, and the master?s craft is unmistakably written all over these fine instruments.</p> <p>In fact, the asymmetrical headstock used for these guitars and now used for most current Hagstrom models, was Jimmy?s design.</p> <p>Immaculately clean, well rounded jazz tones for single note patterns and walking-bass chordal comping are the HJ500?s home turf, although it is fully capable of taking a different route into rock-oriented soundscapes when necessary.</p> <p><strong>Body:</strong> Canadian Maple Ply<br> <strong>Top:</strong> Canadian Maple Ply ?
