Hagstrom Swede Mk3 Mandarin Burst

Hagstrom Swede MkIII, Mandarin Burst - Electric Guitar

Reimagined. Redefined. Recreated. Reborn.

This Swede-model might look untouched with its iconic design but the Hagstrom-team has put all their effort finding ways to improve the instrument without loosing the Hagstrom soul and cosmectics. The body is made of 2 pieces of mahogany that goes together with a ¾” maple top that is enriched with a with a maple veneer of the highest grading. To get all of the tone out of this beauty the Hagstrom-team reached out to Lundgren Pickups to find humbuckers that delivers the true tone of the actual instrument. The choice became Lundgren Pickups AlNiCo No2 in both bridge and neck position. The AlNiCo No2’s are splitable which gives further possibilities to get all the tones out of the Swede in any situation.

To make it easier to to catch those really high notes in an easy way Hagstrom did design a new recessed neck joint. This new design allows better access to the highest frets in a really comfortable way which makes it easier to play. The new Hagstrom tuners does share the classic Hagstrom aesthetics but are lockable which helps the guitar to stay in tune in a better way also under the more extreme circumstances. In guitar design many things are left as they are since “it has always been that way”, this is something that Hagstrom was not pleased about. They looked closely at what could be improved and the result became a voluted headstock joint to add support and strength to this critical area of the headstock.

Along with the instrument comes a classic sturdy tweed case to protect you instrument during transportation, to the studio, to the rehearsal room and the big stage.
