Paid this off finally today.

And got a super cool deal on it. Got it setup with .10-.52s and it plays great. Amp is in Crack Convertors atm, so gotta wait until can plug it in.

Nice looking instrument... what do all the buttons do?

Am sans amp atm.

So gonna hit up local shop tomorrow and have a play around with it there. I think the first three are pickup switches. The rest I'm not sure cause I'm drunk.

lmao

That is sweet looking indeed man.

The other switches are tone bypass, mute/kill, and bass cut.

What's up with that mute switch? I got my girlfriend a hagstrom 1 bass and the mute switch seems to be a bass cut switch. Doesn't mute anything for me.

It cuts output (so yeah, bass). It's like a 9k resistor or something. I wired one into an old Duo Sonic years ago. Fun, but I ended up not using it as much as I thought I would.

Nah, fuck an middle pickup, literally never use 'em; don't need to clutter up the guitar with shit I don't need

Where'd you get yours from, Rob?

That is sweet. How does the neck compare to other guitars you've played?

Wunjos but they don't have anymore. Chepeast I've seen them online, H-III tho: link.

Looks very cool.

My only gripe with the newer Hagstrom guitars is I expected them to play better, considering the price tag. I tried a few around the time I bought the Burns Cobra and the Burns just felt loads better.

May have been just a bad batch.
