Strumming on the Hagstrom F200P

An original piece, inspired by Hendrix a bit. I'm just enjoying playing this Hagstrom. It sounds great.

i bought one of these, but when i use the whammy, the strings get tighter, fast. my f200p has 2 springs and i'm using a floyd rose whammy bar on it because i don't have the hagstrom 1. do you have any suggestions? thank you

@hockeyjockguitarist This trem design has a lot of set screws to tighten everything down. Make sure they are all snug. That will clamp the saddles in place to better transfer tone. Add a drop of silicon lubricant at the nut slots and where the strings break at the bridge saddles. There are guitar specific brands of lube but you'll get ripped off. I bought a pen-size tube at Radio Shack around 8 years ago and it's still only half empty. I drop some lube when changing strings on all of my guitars.

@hockeyjockguitarist Also research on how to wind the strings at the tuning posts. They should have a wrap over and under the string as it enters the post. This essentially "locks" the string in place. Maybe a wrap or two after that. Stretch out and re-tune new strings a couple times and you should be good to go. It's rare that I have tuning problems when taking these simple steps. Hope that helps.

ok so i'm rele interested in buying gibson p90s, can gibson pickups working on a fender squier???? plez tell i'm rele curious

[6bender]

If, by Squier, you mean the Strat style model, you should be able to install P90's. It may require some routing and a different pickguard, of course. I've seen Strats with P90's so I know it can be done.

How would you review this guitar? Looks like it sells for super cheap, I'm curious if it plays better than what the price is saying..sounds fantastic in the video and it's gorgeous!

[hockeyjockguitarist]

[TheSchoolsux345]
