Hagstrom built the HIIN-TSB-U as part of its Retroscape series, positioning it as a double-cutaway solid-body electric that drew on the company's own heritage rather than generic vintage templates. It sat within Hagstrom's modern production line as a nod to the brand's earlier aesthetic language, distinguished by its Thumbnail inlays and the proprietary H-Expander truss rod system.
The body is American Alder finished in gloss, joined by a bolt-on Hard Maple neck carrying a Resinator fingerboard with a notably flat 15-inch radius and 22 medium-jumbo frets. The 24.75-inch scale and 43 mm TUSQ nut frame an HH passive pickup configuration — two Alnico V humbuckers wired in parallel — controlled by two volume and two tone pots alongside a kill switch. Hardware runs nickel throughout: die-cast tuning machines, a tune-o-matic bridge with roller saddles, and the brand's own Vintage Tremar tailpiece, which provides tremolo and vibrato functionality.
Owners requiring setup work, tremolo adjustment, or parts sourcing for the Vintage Tremar or tune-o-matic assembly should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with Hagstrom-specification hardware.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
