The Hagstrom Jazz Model HL-550 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar features a mahogany body and set mahogany neck. The Hagstrom patented H-Expander truss rod provides tension at either end and runs the entire length of the neck. The rigid yet lightweight alloy truss rod allows for very low action and a thin neck.Another Hagstrom exclusive, the resinator fretboard is an extraordinary, homogeneous wood composite that maintains a strong fundamental harmonic and eliminates wolf tones. It offers the articulate sound of high quality ebony but with more consistency and durability. Silky smooth, reliable and fast.A single floating custom HF-50 humbucker, combined with the resonant hollowbody, provide lots of warm, rich tone.The self-lubricating graphite composite nut is much harder than bone or plastic resulting in more string vibration through the neck. Tuning is also improved and string binding is eliminated by self-lubrication.A long travel tune-o-matic bridge and trapeze tailpiece further increase tone, sustain, and intonation quality.18:1 Gear Ratio machine heads ensure fully accurate tuning.A high-grade polyester finish that is hard, smooth, and more dense than polyurethane. The finish on the HL-550 looks great and provides excellent protection and sonic performance.
