In 1962 there was a brand new Hagstrom model introduced on the market. This guitar has a very "Strat" like shape and design with two cut aways, tremolo and six in line headstock.

The main reason not branding those "budget" guitars Hagstrom was, according to Karl Erik Hagström, their doubts if the acrylic fronts would keep from cracking! Some Kent guitars with the acrylic front was sold without the Kent logo on the front of the headstock and some with. From 1963 there was also Kent branded guitars build with all solid bodies with two or three pick ups. All Kent guitars had the Tremar tremolo system.
