By this time, Albin had died (later to be replaced by his son Karl-Erik), but the company's many years experience of accordion manufacture massively influenced the early guitars, with the use of pearloid sparkle finishes and a preference for push-switches over potentiometers more widely used in American guitars. In the second half of the 20th century, however, accordion sales were declining but Hagstrom were there at the beginning of the new guitar boom, producing their first electric, the Hagstrom De Luxe in 1958. By 1932 he had expanded into their manufacture, at a plant in a Swedish town, Älvdalen. Hagstrom was founded by Albin Hagström in 1925, largely dealing in imported accordions.
