Vintage Guitar Hagstrom II Restoration Wiring Original and Reissue

[@cameronewart8822]

I was just working on one of these today... the switch up top IS a master mute. Then looking down left to right beside volume: 1. Neck pickup on/off 2. Bridge pickup on/off 3. Tone which is a bass cut 4. Mute which is a bit of a treble and volume cut. When 3 and 4 are on, it sounds very thin. Unusual setup but pretty fun to play!

The vintage Hagstrom II also has what is called H-Expander Truss Rod, but it is adjusted from the bottom of the neck, the tuners on the vintage are Van Gent brand made in Holland ,The body of the vintage ones is made of maple and alder., good video I have a 1965 Hagstrom II and a 1970 III

Interesting, I'm not familiar with Hagstrom Guitars. Did you ever check the headstock to see if the angles were different? The answer to "coil tapping" is yes, single coil pick-ups can be coil taped.... I can't think of anyone who does it off hand though.... this is actually the first time I have heard of it on single coil pick-ups.

I didn't actually measure the degree of pitch to the head stocks. The switches might also phase shift the pickups, who knows. I'd have to go read up on it some more.
