Hagstrom RetroScape H-III Orig. Tremar Aged Sky Blue

"H-Story reborn"

Die HII und HIII Modelle wurden erstmals 1965 der Musikerwelt vorgestellt. Also markiert das Jahr 2015 das 50 jährige Jubiläum dieser legendären Gitarren. Berühmt und geliebt wegen ihres markanten Sounds, des ungewöhnlichen Schalter Layouts und der unvergleichlich leichten Bespielbarkeit, schoss ihre Popularität bei Spielern und Hörern gleichermaßen schnell nach Oben.
Szenegrößen der Punk und Grunge Genres, die nach einer Gitarre mit umissverständlicher Hardrock Note, abseits festgefahrener Mainstream Pfade suchten, wurden bei den HII und HIII Modellen fündig. Kein Wunder dass sie sich in den erfahrenen Händen von Leuten, wie Aaron North (The Icarus Line, Nine Inch Nails), zu wahren Tonmonstern entwickelten. Die schier unglaubliche Anzahl der Anfragen von Spielern egal welcher Herkunft und Stilart, bedienen wir bei Hagstrom mehr als gerne mit den liebvoll gestalteten und verbesserten RetroScape Versionen der Vintage Klassiker.

Hagstrom H-III

The H-II and H-III were introduced in 1965, so 2015 marks the 50th anniversary of these iconic guitars. Known for their quirky switches and easy playability, they quickly achieved wide popularity. Favorites among punk and grunge bands looking for a hard-rocking individualist statement, H-IIs and H-IIIs have been showing up in the hands of artists such as Aaron North (The Icarus Line, Nine Inch Nails) for years. Many people have been asking for these classics to be re-issued, and we at Hagstrom are happy to comply with lovingly recreated and updated versions of these great classics.
Let me out

A comfortably profiled Canadian Maple neck is bolted to a hand-selected American Alder body insuring that the original attack and “bite” of the H-II and H-III is maintained. The classic 6-in-line Hagstrom headstock design, used for the first production of H-IIs and H-IIIs, has been slightly updated, and the “Vintage Tremar” has been re-engineered for functional improvements without sacrificing its original appearance.
Hagstrom has taken great care in recreating the original pickups, and the new cera mic „C-Spin“ pickups do an excellent job of matching the originals’ sonic glory. Tone-shaping functionality is enhanced by incorporating Hagstrom’s new RC-Circuit into the volume control, which allows for volume reduction without the loss of that high frequency “shimmer”.
