Hagstrom Pat Smear Signature Guitar Black Gloss

Hagstrom Pat Smear Signature Guitar Black Gloss

Pat Smear needs no introduction. He has been in the vanguard of music history his entire career, from the early years as a founding member of the seminal punk band "The Germs", to his stint with the legendary Nirvana, and on to his current role laying down colossal riffs for the Foo Fighters. Hagstrom has been his instrument of choice since the 1970’s, creating a deep and authentic bond that has lasted decades, and now Hagstrom have transformed Pat's privately customized and road-proven vintage Hagstrom into the Pat Smear Signature guitar. This signature guitar is identical to the one Pat plays night after night on some of the largest stages in the world.

This slick black beauty is a voluptuous blend of vintage Hagstrom H-IIN-OT and modern-day Super Swede. Its sleek mahogany body and deeply contoured maple top provide a deep, projecting platform for Hagstrom’s Custom 58 AlNiCo humbucking pickups, enabling the guitar to cut through the mix and sit right in the middle of the Foo’s triple-guitar onslaught. Elegant, clean tones meet highly saturated distortion; just what Pat ordered. A Resinator Wood fingerboard provides comfortable playability for hours on end - Resinator Wood is a wood composite that has a stable, clear and articulate tone similar to Ebony. Hagstrom's H-Expander truss rod runs the full length of the neck, providing plenty of stability, and adding a round attack and even greater sustain.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Hagstrom Pat Smear Signature Guitar, finished in Black Gloss, is a great option for not just Pat Smear/Foo Fighters fans, but anyone looking for a road-ready double-humbucking workhorse.
