It wasn't until 1958 that the company made history when they became the first company outside the United States to mass-producer professional electric guitars. Even though the Hagstrom brand has shifted directions, they have not forgotten their origins and often deck their electric guitars out in eclectic finishes that remain reminiscent of some of their eye-catching accordion designs. By putting a spin on guitar design that is distinctly their own, Hagstrom is able to produce a wide range of instruments that are sought after by professionals and hobbyists alike.
