Description: First Production Synth Guitar1970s Hagstrom Patch 2000 Electric Guitar SynthesizerComplete With Ampeg Patch 2000 Foot Pedal & Hard Case PicturedWeight: 9 Pounds, 5 OuncesAll Original With The Exception Of Grover Grover Tuning PegsPLEASE DO NOT mistake picture glare for flaws.. If you think you're seeing something not mentioned in this listing, please ask!!NOTE: Last use with a synthesizer was a few years ago and all worked as it should. I do not currently have a synth and one is needed to fully operate the pedal. All operates as intended from what I am able to test at this time. Operates perfectly as a guitar through the 1/4" jack guitar to amp, or 7 pin from guitar to pedal/pedal to amp. The pedal powers on as it should. You will need to supply a 7 pin cable. I only have one and need it for future use. Power cord is included. Here's The Run Down:This is a very cool 1970s Hagstrom Patch 2000 Guitar/Synth that is very clean overall showing only minor cosmetic flaws as you would expect of a vintage instrument. Flaws may consist of minor scratches, dings, dents, and a couple small chips or there, but still very respectable and not abused in any way. (see all pics for a true visual cosmetic description). There is some minor discoloration of the hardware. The finish is definitely original and still very clean. The frets show only light wear and finger board is in great shape (see pics). The back of the neck and headstock are in great shape, with a few minor dings and/or marks (see pics). The back is in nice shape and buckle rash is extremely light (see pics). The Ampeg Patch Pedal is cosmetically in nice shape for its age and power on as described above. It is cosmetically as pictured (see pics). Everything appears to be original without changes other than the tuning pegs as mentioned above. Here's some good info:The Hagstrom Swede Patch 2000 guitar is the world’s first production synthesizer guitar (guitar/synth hybrid). It was boldly conceived (years ahead of it's time) and manufactured in an innovative collaboration with Ampeg, who provided the on-board circuitry and accompanying pitch/glide pedals. Based on the Hagstrom Swede guitar, a total of 498 right hand models were produced from 1976 to 1979 along with 11 left-handed models being manufactured in 1977. There was also a small run of Hagstrom Swede bass and Hagstrom Jazz bass models that came equipped with the Patch 2000 system. In addition to the standard 1/4" audio jack located on the Hag P2K guitar/bass, you'll also find a 7-pin jack which allows it to interface directly to the Ampeg floor pedals being offered here.The sonics produced by the Hagstrom Swede/Ampeg Patch 2000 system have been realized by the likes of Jazz/Rock Fusion wizards Allan Holdsworth (Swede), Larry Coryell & Darryl Stuermer (Genesis, Jean-Luc Ponty), Jazz master Herb Ellis and other guitar greats such as Frank Zappa, Bob Welch, John McVie (Fleetwood Mac, P2K bass), Steve Pacelli, Bill Nelson (Be Bop Deluxe) and apparently Carlos Santana - as well as many others.Ampeg Patch 2000 Pedals:These Ampeg Patch 2000 foot pedals were designed exclusively by Ampeg to work in conjunction with both the Hagstrom Swede Patch 2000 Guitar -or- the Hagstrom Swede Patch 2000 Bass. They allow the P2K guitar to interface (via control voltage) with analog synths such as Roland, Moog, Oberheim, Steiner-Parker, ARP, EMS, etc.. In effect, this gives the Hag guitarist the option of playing his P2K instrument either as a standard Hagstrom Swede guitar (though there's nothing 'standard' about the Hagstrom Swede's outstanding sound) -or- as a synthesizer -or- as a simultaneous real time combination of both - producing a myriad of sonic tones & colors.* Pitch & Glide This Ampeg device consists of two pedals built into a single floor unit. The pitch pedal is continuously variable controlled, which allows you to raise the pitch up a full octave over the range of the pedal (heel-to-toe). This allows you to actually change tuning as you play. In this way, the pedal can be used for "bending" effects - much like a synth keyboard player can achieve (i.e. Chick Corea style). The glide pedal controls the response of fret-to-fret changes - governing how much time it takes for the synth to "glide" from one note to the next.* 5th Harmony Switch The Ampeg pedals also include a '5th Harmony' function, which is activated by a single pushbutton switch located between the two pedals (see photo). This 5th function allows the controlled synth note pitch to become a fifth higher than the actual fretted note (the major dominant) for an additional sonic effect.* Construction The last thing you'll have to worry about is damaging these pedals due to heavy use or road abuse. This is simply the most ruggedly durable pedal unit you'll ever find! Extremely sturdy construction consisting of a thick (~3/16") all metal outer housing with a stamped sheet metal bottom (~1/16") - tooled upwards (L shaped) in order to also function as the back access panel (see photos). Both Pitch/Glide pedals and the 5th Harmony Switch are also of a heavy metal construct. All-in-all, Ampeg did it right - these pedals were designed to last!"This Patch 2000 plays great as it sits and is ready to rock! Although, I think its set up great, everyone has their own preferences. If your not happy with its set up, it will be your responsibility and cost to have it set up to your liking.. The neck is straight and the truss rod operates as it should. The Included Non Original Hard Case is in good condition and a proper fit. There are some scuffs and marks here and there as to be expected, but all of the hinges and latches are present and operate. Everything operates as it should, and has never had, nor does it have any breaks, or repairs UNLESS NOTED ABOVE.Make sure you view all of the pics and ask questions if you have any concerns before buying.I will ship this item over seas, but you must contact me for a shipping quote before buying.
