Guitar Chasers

A great alternative to an Asian axe. Thin is the word with this one. Thin neck, thin body, fun to boogie on. The two pickup version sounds a little thin in the bridge pickup mode, but it’s useful still. The other two modes are very cool. Single coil tones but less bite than a Stratocaster. Good blues / rock axe. The three pickup version is neat for surf / rock/ country. Individual on/off switches for the pickups are a bit distracting but you eventually grow accustomed to it.

The neck plays nicely and the overall feel is short and small. You might like the whammy contraption, I don’t. Still, a swinging little guitar to hold on to. Old Hagstrom axes are fairly available around the country. This particular Hagstrom 3 has been Pat’s favorite for several years and features a switchable, out of phase wiring modification. It has the ultimate surf guitar tones.
