A 1966 Hagstrom Catalogue: Pro
Electric Guitars
The Corvette was also known as the Condor after
a glitch with Gretch - (Not General Motors!) Hagstrom once mixed the texts for the three pickup Corvette and the two pickup Impala in an advert, and thus confused a lot of people. The three-pickup guitars are Corvettes in most countries but in the US they became Condors as you see below. The Impala the two pick-up model, never had to change
name.
There is a link in the text above to the Hagstrom UK SIX string Bass, Coronado VI (in UK, Futurama VI). It has the reddish sunburst colouring a bit like the Impala below. Soon we hope to present a matching Corvette. Personally, although I love the natural wood finishes in most guitars I think these are outrageous enough to suit a touch of colour! The bass is very comfortable with a totally cool sound - even though I'm not a bass player. I am told (by Rob, Canada) the Corvette is a gorgeous beast to play too. (One arrived at Hagstrom UK 4th October 2002)

There's nothing like a REAL original Swedish made Hagstrom (and there are loads around), but if it 'floats your boat', or you can't find an original then who are we to say? | |
