Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I really like my HJ800.
Solid spruce top for 50$ more than the HJ600 w/ laminant top. Go figure.
I boiled my choice of the HJ800 down to a close call tonally with a Gibson Herb Ellis that I tried along side, as well as a similiar Eastman, and a few other cheapies.
The Gibson felt nicest in my hand and sounded great. But has no tone adjustment, only one volume. I loved it.
The HJ800 sounded very good comparitively, although slightly brighter, and with much more tonal adjustability.
I am already glad that I decided on the HJ800, for 1/3 the price of the Gibson.
The Eastman wasnt deep toned enough for what i wanted.
I really like it. I play in a jazz trio. Been playing blues/rock for 30 years, more bossanova and jazz for last 7 years.

The Hagstrom Select Series, Vintage Series, and UltraLux Series guitars recapture the original glorious Hagstrom style.They are built to the same stringent quality standards and feature Hagstrom's exclusive technologies including the legendary H-Expander Truss Rod while introducing a number of new technological advances such as the Resinator Fretboard in order to guarantee that these are the finest guitars on the market.The Hagstrom Vintage Series HJ-800 Jazz Guitar is still the benchmark of fine guitar craftsmanship.The Maple body with Solid Spruce top and Maple Set Neck help make every inch of this guitar a jazz masterpiece. The fingerboard is made from Resinator wood with Hagstrom Pearl Block Position Marks. Resinator wood is more stable than any standard wood product. It is the perfect fingerboard material in that it eliminates wolf tones or hot spots, and it has a smooth, articulate sound.The H-Expander Truss Rod provides tension at either end and running the entire length of the neck, and the rigid yet lightweight alloy truss rod allows for a very low action and thin neck, two factors that were instrumental in earning Hagstrom its reputation as the world's fastest playing guitar.The HJ-800 has dual Hagstrom HJ50 pickups.
