 1972 guitar and bass catalogue
A treble position to create a vigourous bright rock sound. A neutral position for a more round and warm tone, often preferred for rhythm chords, and a bass position for the lush and lovely, but still melodic blues sound.

 1975 electrics catalogue
Theres good reason for calling this solid-body guitar the Special; it combines outstanding musical quality and workmanship at a moderate price.

The F200N solid-body electric guitar was also known as HIIN, and when Ampeg became the US distributor the HG801. Over the course of production, just over 4800 instruments were built. The non-vibrato version F200-OT was known as the HG800. A bass version, the F400N, HIIBN or HB901 was also available at the same time.
This model was the direct descendent of Hagstroms 60s model the HII or F200, with some differences; primarily pickups (humbuckers rather than single coils) and headstock shape (tuners 3 per side, rather than 6 in a row).
The truss rod in the F200N is the typical H expander truss rod, patented, and used exclusively in Hagstrom guitar and bass necks.
