Hagstrom Ultra Swede Electric Guitar (Left Handed, Cosmic Black Burst) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just got my Hagstrom Ultra Swede yesterday. Played it for 10 hours (pretty much STRAIGHT), nice! I'd read all sorts of reviews, hadn't had a chance to play one though and I did something I've never done before, bought the guitar without hearing/playing it. No regrets. For under $500, a guitar that fits my hands, has a beautiful neck and top notch finish? The minus I've read in other reviews is apparent, the pickups aren't exactly hot... but they're easily replaced. No need to set up intonation either as it was perfect right out of the box, I did lower the action a bit (maybe too low, it frets notes if you look at it hard.. no buzz though). But still, for under $500?!? Currently saving for a Fernandez sustainer kit for it, and probably will drop a Seymour Duncan in the bridge... but it plays flawlessly. Very happy!

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 Hastrom'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 UltraLux Series Ultra Swede is a soloist's dream, featuring a new state-of-the-art neck design that is so thin it has to be played to be believed. Measuring a mere 18-19mm thick, the UltraLux's neck still benefits from Hagstrom's H-Expander truss rod and Resinator fretboard for stability and reliability.The Ultra Swede features a 2-piece Basswood body and Maple cap with Flame Maple veneer and a Maple set neck, as well as distinctive pearl/abalone markers on the Resinator fretboard.The Ultra Swede features Hagstrom 15:1 die cast tuners, 24.75 inch scale length, 2 x Hagstrom custom 62 Humbuckers, 3-way toggle, and a long travel T-O-M bridge with Hagstrom Stop tail piece and 6 individual brass string blocks. The H-Expander Truss Rod provides tension at either end and running the entire length of the neck. 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.The Ultralux Series Ultra Swede also features 1x Volume / 1x Tone/mini toggle coil tap switch controls.

Hagstrom Viking Electric Guitar (Tobacco Sunburst) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What a wonderful guitar. For the money you simply cannot find an equal, in my opinion. Mine came set up very nicely with no needed adjustments. Fit and finish was flawless. Stays in tune extremely well - played a gig with it the first weekend I got it and did not have to re-tune a single time. I cannot see paying an extra $2000 for the Gibson name. Truly makes no sense unless name is that important to you. For what it's worth, I just found out that it was a Gold Level award recipient for Overall Value by Guitar World Magazine.
I have been playing for 25 years and have owned/ played a lot of guitars - PRS, Fender Strats, Parker, Gibson ES-335, Peavey HP Special (top of the line & another great, yet underrated guitar), Godin 5th Avenue, Martin D-28, Ibanez, and others I cannot think of right now. This is a guitar that I will most likely never get rid of. My only criticism is that they should price it to include a hardshell case, which I had to order separately ($95).

Hagstrom Swede Tremar Electric Guitar (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This guitar looks amazing, quite amazing actually, the features sounded amazing also when I read them, BUT when I got the guitar I was horrified at the quality of this guitar. I normally and usually play american fender strats, gibsons, etc. Attended Berklee College of Music for a master in guitar so i've played MANY guitars and I must say i've felt squier's better constructed than this guitar. As soon as I received the guitar I took it to a professional repair shop and was told to return the guitar because i'd put more money into fixing it than the guitar is worth. The tremolo bar was horribly attached to the body, the tuners on the thing felt cheap, one of the tone knobs didn't work, a toggle switch didn't work, the other toggle switch made horrible noises when switching humbuckers, the frets were sticking out too far on the neck causing me to cut my fingers when trying to slide. I returned it immediately and had to eat the shipping costs. I wouldn't recommend this guitar if it was two dollars and same quality, it's not worth the money, for the price go buy a guitar worth value.

Hagstrom Swede Electric Guitar (Gold Top) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great LP style guitar with several extras and a superb neck. Fit and finish are great too. Pickups sound true to the 58's and mine came with a perfect set-up. I have owned many, many guitars over the years and have 20 or so now. This is a keeper. Beautiful gold finish and the necks on these Hags are just superb. I've also owned an Ultra Swede that was great in its own right... a friend begged me to let her buy it or it would still be with me. Good sustain and mine weighed in at just under 9 pounds, which is a solid but not too heavy range - perfect in my opinion.
Holds tune well, - its just a fine instrument. Well worth the money and Amazon shipped to me quickly and safely.
