To truly understand this instrument, one must first acknowledge the legacy of Hagstrom, a brand that brought European elegance to the electric guitar as early as the 1950s. Renowned for technical innovations such as the Resinator composite wood and its famously slim necks, the Swedish company has always occupied a unique place, appealing to musicians seeking a prestigious alternative to the usual standards.The connection between Pat Smear and Hagstrom is one of the most authentic relationships in rock history. From the raw energy of the Germs to his major influence within Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, the guitarist has always shown unwavering loyalty to his vintage Hagstrom H-IIN. This new signature version is the direct heir to that beloved guitar. It preserves the iconic curves and untamed character of the original while benefiting from the robustness required for the demands of modern international touring.From a purely professional standpoint, this guitar stands out through its impressive sonic density. Its construction is based around a solid mahogany body topped with a carved maple cap, a pairing that guarantees generous sustain and deep harmonic richness. The set mahogany neck features the famous Resinator fingerboard, whose stability and clarity surpass traditional ebony, delivering a response of surgical precision across the entire tonal range.The electronics are the beating heart of this model. Equipped with two Custom 58 humbuckers, the guitar produces a vintage voice enhanced by a muscular output level. These pickups are capable of moving effortlessly from gritty Los Angeles punk crunch to massive, precise distortion without ever sacrificing definition. This is where the magic truly happens: the guitar handles extremely high gain while fully preserving the player’s dynamics, faithfully recreating the wall of sound Pat Smear builds behind Dave Grohl.Finally, the hardware reflects the seriousness of the craftsmanship, with a Long Travel Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Tail tailpiece ensuring flawless tuning stability, even under the assault of aggressive rhythm playing. In short, the Pat Smear Signature is a complete success. It is not merely a tribute to a rock legend; it establishes itself as a versatile and elegant powerhouse, offering guitarists an instrument of real character that stands apart through its reliability and sonic power.Specifications: Serial: G24040277 Weight: 3,860 kgSolid-body electric guitar, Gibson SG style Construction: Set-neck Body: Mahogany Top: Carved maple Neck: Mahogany Fingerboard: Resinator™ (ebony-style composite) Scale length: 24.75" (628 mm) Radius: 15" Frets: 22 Medium Jumbo Nut width: 43 mm Pickups: 2 × Hagstrom Custom 58 AlNiCo humbuckers Selector switch: 3-way Controls: 2 volumes + 2 tone controls Bridge: Roller Tune-O-Matic + stop tailpiece Tuners: Hagstrom 18:1 Nut: Graph Tech Black Tusq XL
