Guitar Story
In 2013, Tricor AB (Swedish licensee of the Hagström guitar brand from the 2004-05 relaunch; majority owned by AB Albin Hagström from 2025) controlled the Hagström name under AB Albin Hagström. Its one line on record was built at Hagström relaunch-range plant, China (builder and city unverified) (China).[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
A Hagström guitar from 2013 belongs to whichever era was running on its product line that year. An era is a stretch when the company that controlled the name and the plant that built the line both stayed the same. If you know the line, the table below tells you which version of Hagström you have. The name dates from 1925[2, 3], 88 years before.
| Line | Controlled by | Parent | Built at | Era | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Relaunch range (Swedish design, built in China) | Tricor AB (Swedish licensee of the Hagström guitar brand from the 2004-05 relaunch; majority owned by AB Albin Hagström from 2025) | AB Albin Hagström | Hagström relaunch-range plant, China (builder and city unverified) China[4] | 2004–now | community[1, 2, 3, 4, 5] |
Nothing changed in 2013. Every era running that year carried on from an earlier year, so a Hagström from 2013 is the same version as one from 2012.
