For the discerning player seeking a refined hollow-body with history, this one owner Hagstrom HJ-500 delivers classic archtop character with modern stability. Originally inspired by Hagstrom’s late-1960s collaboration with master luthier James D’Aquisto, today’s HJ-500 continues that tradition: a full hollow maple body, set Canadian maple neck, and Hagstrom’s exclusive Resinator™ fingerboard create a platform that’s both resonant and reliable. The dual HJ-50 humbuckers provide the articulate warmth and roundness jazz players crave, while offering enough bite and clarity for blues, soul, or even more adventurous tones. Unlike many vintage archtops, this guitar holds tune and intonates beautifully thanks to Hagstrom’s H-Expander™ truss rod and 18:1 tuners. Whether comping lush chords or navigating single-note lines, the HJ-500 feels solid and inspiring in hand. Specs: • Hollow maple body with arched top & f-holes. • Set Canadian maple neck. • 24.75" scale length, 22 medium-jumbo frets. • Resinator™ fingerboard, 15" radius. • Dual Hagstrom HJ-50 humbuckers. • 2 Volume, 2 Tone, 3-way toggle switch. • Trapeze tailpiece, adjustable bridge. • Hagstrom 18:1 tuners.
