1979 Hagstrom Partner – Red – #52 063329

According to Hagstrom records, only 437 Partner guitars were made using a variety of parts and influences from previous models.  Essentially the Partner is an H II N OT with the Humbuckers remaining from the Canadian H I-O’s, and a headstock influenced by the Swede. The addition of Schaller tuners and a fully adjustable bridge make this an attractive instrument.  Production was said to be in Red and this example has the natural birch neck and headstock.  You can see from the photos that it has been played. With numerous small dings and chips on the edges and some loss of paint on the back.  However, the neck, headstock, and fingerboard are in very good condition.   This is a nice example of a guitar that rarely comes on the market. We are contacted regularly to see if John has any H II N OT’s available, and here it is:  under the name of “Partner”.  It comes with a hard case.  If you are serious about this guitar, more photos and information can be provided.
