O'HAGAN NIGHTWATCH SPECIAL BASS

Submitted by guitar-list on

The Nightwatch Special bass was the top of the O'Hagan bass guitar line. It was the only model that had two pickups. It had optional gold or chrome hardware, maple or rosewood fingerboard and six finish options. The double cut-away body has an unusual scallop taken out of the bottom. Earlier models (1981) might have had DiMarzio pickups.

The O'Hagan 1983 price list also mentions a Nightwatch Standard model ($50 cheaper) - which probably was the same shape as the Nightwatch Special but with minor hardware differences.

The O'Hagan guitar company was founded in 1979 by Jerry O’Hagan. Originally a clarinetist and music teacher, O'Hagan had been importing acoustic guitars from Japan since the mid 1970s and establised the O'Hagan guitar company in St. Louis Park, Minneapolis to build affordable US made guitars and basses. The O'Hagan company made around 3000 instruments but by 1983 competition from cheap imports had forced the company to close.

Harmony H 75 electric guitar front view

Found during a move of a regional A/V company archive, I paid $275.00 to the owner for it. Got some period replacement screws for $6.00 and gave it a good once over. Verified construction date of August 24th, 1965. There are some small cracks in the headstock. It doesn't affect playability, but it's going to a local luthier to get fixed anyway. I got it as a companion to my 1967 Harmony Rocket also pictured.
