Hagstrom Ultra Swede Cosmic Black Burst

What we say:

Hagstrom are a classic Swedish guitar brand dating back to the mid Twenties! Guitar makers since the late 1950s, Hagstrom have always offered their own stylish takes on classic solidbody and hollowbody guitar designs.

Hagstrom are popular with a diverse range of players: indie and punk guitarists love them as much as jazz players and metal guitar players. Their robust build quality, strong tones and left-of-centre good looks all play a lot in this!

Hagstrom guitars all feature a patented H-Expander truss rod for supreme stability. They also use patented ‘Resinator’ fingerboards which are made form a composite material that feels similar to Ebony. The necks are real selling points for Hagstrom: it is a supreme pleasure to play these! They feel slick, solid and comfortable, just as they should.

Hagstrom are an excellent choice for the iconoclastic musician looking for something traditional and a little different, with modern functionality and great sounds.

The Ultra Swede is a stylish and fast single cut solidbody model. Full of power and style, the Ultra Swede is a great choice for rock players.

The Single cut body is perhaps slightly smaller than expected, contoured and bound for a beautiful look. The body itself is Basswood with a Maple cap (Flamed in this case!) and finished here in Cosmic Black Burst.

The set neck is also made from Mahogany and is one of Hagstrom’s famous D-profile ‘Ultrathin’ necks, known to be amongst the most comfortable in the business! The 15” radius fingerboard has attractive abalone and pearl inlays.

This Ultra Swede has a pair of custom 62 pickups. These are ceramic humbuckers with plenty of hot output and a coil tap switch to temper some of that Rock aggression! Thick, sustaining tones come easily and beautifully from this instrument.

Guitarists looking for a singlecut that’s familiar and yet unique will love the Hagstrom Ultra Swede.
