Limited Edition Hagstrom Super Swede in Cosmic Black Burst - #5 of 30 Hand-Made in Sweden!

For many years Hagstrom fans have been calling for the brand to return to its roots of Swedish production. Finally, in 2020, Hagstrom is heeding the call, and what better guitar to do it with than the flagship Super Swede! First introduced to the Hagstrom range in 1978, this historic model is being produced as a limited edition of thirty pieces worldwide.

This limited-edition instrument is meticulously built using premium African Mahogany for the 25.5” scale neck and body, married together using a Mortise and Tenon joint. The body is capped with the highest graded 3⁄4” flame maple. To top off this combination, the instrument is presented in one of the most popular Hagstrom finishes, “Cosmic Black Burst”. The guitar is numbered and documented to commemorate this important first step in repatriated Swedish production.

Swedish-Made Lundgren pickups

For the pickups, Hagstrom have joined forces with Johan Lundgren of Swedish Lundgren pickups. The Limited Edition Hagstrom Super Swede features a perfectly matched pair of Lundgren’s hand-built pickups. The Super Swede, with its long sustain and powerful tone, is perfectly matched with Lundgren’s Alnico 5 splittable “Suckerbucker” in the bridge position. The tone can be best described as “tight” and “lively”, literally “sucking” every last vibration from the instrument. Lead players could find themselves lengthening their solos, as the output of this “medium plus” bridge humbucker sings to bring out the guitar’s full potential.

In order to provide a balanced marriage with the “Suckerbucker” and provide extra versatility, Lundgren’s splittable “Heaven 57” was chosen for the neck pickup adding “vintage breath” and delivering a sensational and harmonic clarity. Players will have the best of both worlds using this perfect calibrated set of Lundgren pickups, which will guarantee a wide grin on the face of any player.

World-class Schaller Hardware

Hagstrom have also teamed up with Schaller Germany, one of the company’s earliest historical suppliers. This collaboration has resulted in a customised Schaller STM bridge together with a customised set of Schaller’s rear-locking M6 tuners, all presented with a special mix of Schaller’s Ruthenium with Gold trim finish. Each hardware piece has been carefully designed as a detailed ornament. Playability, tone and response are assured with this fantastic combination of hardware, bringing out the instrument’s best. As the icing on the cake, specially inscribed Schaller knobs with the discernible Hagstrom “H” are used for the two independent volume and push/pull tone controls.

Before shipping from Sweden each of these very special guitars receives several hours of refinement for perfect playing performance. The instrument frets and fretboards are also specially scanned and treated using the latest “Plek” technology, and any necessary fret adjustments are made with 1/1000 millimeter accuracy. The specially-customised “Hagstrom Plek” fret radius results in frets with a slight compound radius for comfortable and even playing from the first to last fret.

The Limited Edition Hagstrom Super Swede is listed at a very attractive price considering the time, materials, and expertise which have gone into it.
