Members Reaganomics! Posted August 2, 2012 Members Share Posted August 2, 2012 IDK. I mean, I know that they are not doing good financially and have been redoing their stores and inventory to try to fix that. I have a hard time believing they're making huge overhead selling the stuff that Walmart and Target and has too. But if they're devoting floor space to Hagstrom guitars maybe they're trying to be a niche place instead of trying to push starcasters and casios. That'd make them more worthwhile to me than anything else they sell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sad Darwin Posted August 2, 2012 Members Share Posted August 2, 2012 I just bought a Hagstrom Super Swede Tremar and I like it better than my Les Paul Custom. Go figure. I love China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members echodeluxe Posted August 2, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 2, 2012 target sells really low quality first act. same with walmart i think. best buy isnt competing with them in mi sales. best buy actually carries legit stuff like gibson and fender guitars, fender amps, boss, digitech, mxr, dunlop pedals, etc...

A friend of mine, who was a Best Buy employee, told me they were working on expanding the musical instrument selection in all stores. Mind you this was a year or two ago, but still. If you look on the website they have a lot more than Starcasters and Casios. Some locations have these things in store and last I heard they were trying to expand that department elsewhere as well.

Members Will Chen Posted August 2, 2012 Members Share Posted August 2, 2012 Saw a couple at a local Best Buy. I was actually surprised to see the body is a bit smaller than an LP. Very pretty though, should have picked it up and played a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Reaganomics! Posted August 2, 2012 Members Share Posted August 2, 2012 So I guess they're competing with GC, who are also {censored}ing broke. At least it'll be nice to be able to get better guitar stuff at the mall when there's nothing else around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members One Man Banned Posted August 2, 2012 Members Share Posted August 2, 2012 played this one exactly pretty much: Is that the long scale one or is the long scale one the Super Swede? I actually liked the long scale one quite a bit over the shorter scale version...it had a little more snap to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members One Man Banned Posted August 2, 2012 Members Share Posted August 2, 2012 You can usually find b-stock ones on eBay for like $350 because of some slight discoloration in the material they use to make the fretboard. They're new and come with the warranty but they sell them cheaper do to the slight cosmetic issue. Something to consider if you're looking to save a few bucks.

Members dZjupp Posted August 2, 2012 Members Share Posted August 2, 2012 i played a bunch of hagstroms a couple of years ago in store. i thought they all felt like pure and utter junk, esp the hardware. i've always wanted a super sweede.maybe the originals are where its at.

Members Taylor. Posted August 3, 2012 Members Share Posted August 3, 2012 They look cool. They play great. I'm not sure I ever properly bonded with the pickups, they're my only recurring beef. I might off mine. Telecaster GAS is too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LameAim Posted August 11, 2012 Members Share Posted August 11, 2012 I really like my Deuce F. Really good quality stuff for the money. pic Don't they make one of these with a Tremar on there? Or is the tailstop the right size to conceivably replace with a Bigsby on at some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
