Love vintage single coil tone? Then you'll worship Retro-S pickups. They're not a one trick pony though, having been carefully engineered to offer a dynamic range of voicings for you to experiment with. They have a sparkling, jangly tone which rings out with brightness, punch, and pristine clarity. Your music will sound fresh, clean, and vibrant, whether you’re laying down some rhythm or soloing. And the unique switching system, which has six switches, lets you further manipulate the voicing of each pickup to get the exact sound you want. You'll be able to make every note count.
Play in style and comfort
Playability. It's crucial to helping you perform with tightness and accuracy. Luckily, the Hagstrom Impala has it in ample supply, with a smooth, rounded mahogany set neck and special Resinator fretboard. The neck is warm-sounding and smooth to the touch – you can go wild with your riffing. And the fretboard is even more impressive. Made from composite wood, it has a bright, punchy tone similar to ebony, but with far greater stability and durability. Your fingers will feel totally at home. These features will help you play with complete freedom.
Built to last
There's nothing to hold you back. Boasting an array of quality hardware, this guitar will hold up in any situation. A Vintage Tremar system gives you the ability to add some classy vibrato to your licks using the whammy bar. And a Tune-O-Matic roller bridge helps to give your tuning the rock-solid reliability it needs. Hagstrom tuning machines only build on this, offering perfect string support – you'll be able to play with confidence. Then there's a flashy black pickguard, which will keep the luscious finish safe from any pick scratches. Take the Impala to the studio or on tour – it will never disappoint.
