Hagstrom began as an accordion-maker in Sweden. I’m sorry, this sounds like I’m advocating for another instrument, but this is yet another story that begins with…accordions. Which is probably why I’ve never tried to master the Patch part of this special Hagstrom Swede! I’ve used pedal effects, too, but beyond that my electrical engineering skills pretty much evaporate. There’s something especially exhilarating about hitting that first “power” chord, an electronic signal passing through some tubes or transistors and coming out a speaker amplified exponentially.
But I’ve enjoyed playing all kinds of guitar over the years, including electric guitars.
When I pick up a guitar to plunk on these days, 99% of the time it’s to play classical guitar, something I returned to after about a 30-year hiatus. Guest blogger Michael Wright sheds some light on this obscure guitar. But most of them probably know little about this Patch 2000 model. Swedish brand Hagstrom is a familiar name for most players interested in vintage and rare guitars.
