Hagström H8 (eight-string bass): history since 1967

Guitar Story

Who owned it and where it was built

The eras of the Swedish-built electric guitars and basses (Älvdalen) line in the years this model was made. No end year is on record, so the last row runs as far as the line does. The model rides on its line: when the owner or the plant changed, it changed for this model too.
