(More customer reviews)Back in the mid-70's, I bought a Hagstrom Swede. A great guitar then, but unfortunately, I had to sell it (as well as almost all of my other guitars) for financial reasons. Fast forward to 2010. The Hagstrom company, after shutting down in, I believe, 1983, has been back since 2003, and is offering this beautiful Hagstrom Super Swede. I'd heard demonstrations and read reviews of this guitar, and had intended on purchasing one in 2011. But on checking Amazon.com's website, I noticed that the Super Swede in gorgeous Black Gloss was selling for an amazing $504!! I also noted that there were only 2 left of this particular model.
So I reasoned that I'd plan on buying it a lot sooner. Several days later, the price dropped further, to $476! That's $200 less than the normal discounted price! I'd better get it now, I said to myself. I made the purchase, and almost as soon as I did, I noticed that the price on the remaining Super Swede jumped back up to $675!! I feel like I just dodged a bullet!
Anyway, when I received my Swede, which was very nicely boxed and protected (thanks Amazon!), I couldn't believe my eyes. This guitar is stunning. It was set up so well that all I had to do was tune it up and start playing. And oh man, DOES IT play!!. Excellent cleans, super leads. The coil tapping I haven't really explored thoroughly yet; I'm having too much fun!
Thanks, Hagstrom, for a great axe! And thanks again Amazon!

The Hagstrom Select Series, Vintage Series, and UltraLux Series guitars recapture the original glorious Hagstrom style.They are built to the same stringent quality standards and feature Hagstrom's exclusive technologies including the legendary H-Expander Truss Rod while introducing a number of new technological advances such as the Resinator Fretboard in order to guarantee that these are the finest guitars on the market.The Vintage Series Super Swede is a guitar to define them all, providing astounding tone from modern crunch to vintage finesse.Deep and beautiful, the Super Swede has a longer 25.5" strat style scale neck on a traditional single cutaway body to give this guitar the best of both worlds. This guitar features a 45mm Mahogany Body with 10mm Carved Maple Top and Flame Maple Veneer, and a Mahogany Set Neck.The fingerboard is made from Resinator wood with Hagstrom Pearl Block Position Marks. Resinator wood is more stable than any standard wood product. It is the perfect fingerboard material in that it eliminates wolf tones or hot spots, and it has a smooth, articulate sound.The H-Expander Truss Rod provides tension at either end and running the entire length of the neck, and the rigid yet lightweight alloy truss rod allows for a very low action and thin neck, two factors that were instrumental in earning Hagstrom its reputation as the world's fastest playing guitar.Other features are: Hagstrom 18:1 die cast tuning keys, 2 x Hagstrom Custom 58 pickups,a 3-way pickup toggle switch, a long travel T-O-M bridge with Hagstrom stop tail piece and 6 individual brass string blocks, 2 x volume/ 2 x tone, and a mini toggle coil tap switch.
