1966 in Springfield Virginia

This picture was taken at a school dance in Springfield, Virginia in the spring of 1966. I was 19 years old and had the Hagstrom bass for about 2 years. I am 58 years old now and still have the bass and along with 2 Fender Jazzbasses and a Rickenbacker, I still use it and it still works just fine. I use the sub-bass setting to do old Mo-town stuff and the full treble setting for "My Generation" by the Who. Gary Evans in Salt Lake City, Utah

1966, and The Imitations... Now, who was the fifth Beatle?

...those "baby blue" plastic-covered Hagstroms were shipped to the island of Puerto Rico "en masse", so there should be a good supply of them there still, including the "mauve" color version, (kind of "pinkish-mauve"), and including the bass version in Black, if I remember that one correctly. We are talking 1965-on though around 1968. My rhythm guitarist had both of them, and they were not bad guitars or basses at all, just didn't have much volume. But they played well in tune and were comfortable to play. In fact, I have a photo of Pete playing the Hagstrom 6-string in 1966. I can tell it is the Hagstrom because I was there, but it is not very visible. Pete was a Beatle's expert, he could play John Lennon's guitar style like noone else I've heard since. Remember, this was Puerto Rico in the early to mid 1960's, yes, we contracted the Beatles' bug down there too. regards again, Jose A. Maymon Nashville, TN

Mike Seracin's pics from his old (from 1970 to about 1975) Banquet / Polka band:

The HIB looks a little unique eh? Well here's more pictures

This is one cool picture.

Many years ago however I did own a Hagstrom guitar and I have a picture taken at Head in the Clouds, Norwich circa 1969.
I thought you might be interested so here is a copy. I really regret parting with that guitar! regards Nick Roche

Phil Meboe

Greetings, I have been enjoying your Hagstrom web page (and watching your son demo the Hagstrom III). I purchased a Hagstrom III in the spring of 1966 (just a youngster of 19). My band was full time on the road that summer. I kept my Hagstrom for a couple years, and then (foolishly - because I wanted something newer) traded it off on a Fender Coranado II. Yuk! Wish I still had the Hagstrom. It was a great guitar with a great neck. I'm still playing after all these years - Fender Jazzmaster, Parker Fly, and Guild F50 - but I'd love to still be playing that Hagstrom III.

I've attached a picture of my Hagstom III and me from my on-the-road days in the summer of 1966 (dig the pants!). Picture is a bit faded near the top, but the Hagstrom is pretty clear. Blessings, Phil Meboe La Crosse WI USA

 
Click these two pics for bigger versions - and thanks Phil. Like you, I wish I had my old H-III too!
