The Hagstrom HL550 is a beautifully crafted archtop electric guitar designed specifically for jazz players. Its fully hollow body is made from press-contoured mahogany ply, delivering a warm, resonant tone ideal for expressive, dynamic playing. The set mahogany neck features a long mortise & tenon joint for excellent sustain and strength, while the 15″ radius Resinator fingerboard with pearloid block inlays offers a smooth playing surface across its 22 medium-jumbo frets.

Equipped with a single floating HF-50 pickup, the HL550 captures the guitar’s natural voice with incredible clarity—ideal for clean jazz tones. A simple layout of one volume and one tone control keeps the focus on performance, not tweaking. The 24.75″ scale length and 43mm GraphTech Black Tusq XL nut add to the guitar’s comfortable feel and tuning stability.

Aesthetically, the HL550 is as refined as it sounds, with a deep red gloss finish, elegant f-holes, a tortoiseshell-style pickguard, and gold hardware including Hagstrom-designed 18:1 tuners. The iconic Hagstrom trapeze tailpiece completes the vintage vibe, featuring a crest with twin lions and a bold red “H.”
