White Hagstrom from an early 60's. Don't know exact model. This is a question submitted by Sem and response by Aaron taken from "http://www.bck2sqr1.com/nin/access.html".

----QUESTION SUBMITTED BY SAMI was curious to know what kind of guitars Aaron plays. Especially the ones with all those weird little switches like the one in the "Hand That Feeds" video. I couldn't tell at the show cos this tall fat asshole in front of me kept blocking my view and some drunk asshole behind me kept squishing my girly little figure.

What happened to just Les Paul's all the time? And what's up with the messed up speaker box he's always running into? There's no microphone on it, it's some sort of prop right?

RESPONSE FROM AARONThe guitar I played in the "Hand That Feeds" video is a Hagstrom. They are Swedish made guitars that I have been collecting over the years. That particular white Hagstrom is an early 60's model that I prefer and have a few of.

They have super hot single coil pickups and a smooth tremolo arm that actually keeps the guitar in tune better than most Fenders with floating tremolos. The problem is, they stopped making these quitars forever ago, so when a piece of hardware breaks, you'd have an easier time finding a girl at Michael Jackson's house than finding replacement parts. Les Paul's are cool too, and the warmer humbucker pickup sound on them is appropriate for many songs, but got a more aggressive cutting tone, I use the Hagstroms.

Recently Hagstrom has started to produce some guitars again, and this time American made for some reason, and I've been using a few of those live as well. Unfortunately the newer reproductions they make don't include my favorite models like the "2" and the "3". Those are the ones with the "weird little switches".

I'm also using some Fender Jazzmasters and Telecasters live. The "messed up box" onstage is my guitar cabinet, and it's not a prop. I'm slaving a Fender Twin Reverb amp that is not onstage from that cabinet, so I can create feedback onstage with that cab, but not worry about my sound cutting out ever, because the signal that is coming through the PA and monitors is from the mic-ed Fender amp that is out of harms way.

Make sense? ---- Sources: http://www.bck2sqr1.com/nin/access.html .

1 They never show it! I just watched the video,no guitar shown in what I saw. If you have a copy of the video that shows the guitar,then post it here.

I've been a guitar player teacher for over twenty years,so I'd only have to see it once to identify it. If you mean the recording itself,then the guitar tracks are synthesized and probably played by Reznor on the synth. That's what he always used to do.

He used a guitar player live,but usually never in the studio,unless he's changed something. This video has no images of a guitar anywhere. rafy.vox.com/library/post/nin---hand-tha... This user has been banned from Askville.

Thanks, Im pretty sure its Hagstrom, but what model :S .

Lol, thanks, Im pretty sure its Hagstrom, but what model :S.

4 I got the video you sent. It doesn't look like a Hagstrom to me. It's very hard to tell for sure,but the headstock and body style suggest it's an American Stratocaster,and I've owned many of them,though they only show it for a split second.

Even if he uses something else in the studio,it doesn't mean that's what he's using in the video. Hopefully my PM regarding how you vote was clear enough. Please let me know if it wasn't.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
