Hagstrom Ultra Swede Single Cutaway Electric Guitar - Blackburst - ULSWESerial Number: G22030804, WH, BlackburstThis is the exact guitar you will receive, free wall hanger and extra strings included!Hagstrom Ultra SwedeA slender, compact body joined to an ultra-slim neck profiled in a easy “D” shape is combined with the rich and powerful sound of Hagstrom’s Custom 62 pickups. The tone is truly “ultra-licious”, both in humbucking mode and in coil-split mode for single-coil sounds. The Ultra Swede is everything that makes a Hagstrom special combined together in a platform for the 21st century.The Power and the GloryHagstrom’s Custom Ceramic 62 pickups shine in both humbucker and in single-coil mode. A tight and raucous humbucker attack is complemented by a lush and airy single-coil tone when the pickup coils are split.Ultrathin NeckVintage Hagstrom necks were known as the “fastest in the world” and the Ultra Swede easily lives up to this legacy. Its H-Expander™ truss rod, Resinator™ fingerboard, and slim “D” profile provide an ultra-comfortable playing surface that can handle the lowest action settings. Pull the trigger and let those fingers fly!Ultra Swede Specs Body • Material: 2 piece Basswood • Top: Maple • Style: Single CutawayNeck • Joint: Set Neck • Material: Maple • Truss Rod: H-Expander™Fingerboard/Nut • Material: Resinator™ • Radius: 15" • Inlays: Select Block Pearl/Abalone • Frets: 22 Medium Jumbo • Scale Length: 24.75" (628 mm) • Nut: GraphTech Black Tusq XL • Nut Width: 43 mmElectronics • Pickups: 2 x Hagstrom Custom 62 • Pickup Selector: 3-Way Toggle Switch • Controls: 1 x Volume / 1 x Tone / Mini Toogle coil split switchParts • Bridge: Long Travel Tune-O-Matic with Hagstrom Stop Tailpiece and Single Brass String Blocks • Tuning Keys: Hagstrom Design 18:1 • Strings: D'Addario EXP 110 (10-46)Ultra Swede Standards Resinator WoodResinator™ wood is a wood composite material that is both more uniform in density and more stable than any standard wood product. These characteristics eliminate dead spots or “wolf tones” sometimes associated with conventional wood fingerboards. Resinator™ wood has an articulate sound similar to high quality ebony, but without any of the problems associated with ebony. It provides a stable and clear tone, and also adds higher overtones and harmonics which uniquely detail each note. Like our H-Expander™ truss rod, Resinator™ wood is a major contributor to the distinctive “Hagstrom tone”.Hagstrom Machine HeadsHagstrom models use 18:1 or 15:1 gear ratio machine heads based on our own designs to insure accurate tuning. Viking® and HB series basses feature machine heads with a 17:1 gear ratio.H-ExpanderAll Hagstrom electric guitars and basses include our patented H-Expander™ truss rod. Providing tension at both ends and running the entire length of the neck, the rigid yet light-weight 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 H-Expander™ truss rod not only provides ultimate neck stability, but it also contributes to Hagstrom’s unique tone. Longer sustain and a round attack are some of the sonic characteristics the H-Expander™ adds to the tonal essence of Hagstrom.Set NeckHagstrom uses a variety of different neck joints throughout our range. Our set-neck recipe is the classic and time-tested Mortise and Tenon joint, a design that most efficiently transfers string energy from neck to body, and can often only be found on more expensive custom-built guitars. A team of experienced and dedicated craftsmen hand carves every neck joint, insuring perfect execution of this traditional technique preferred by luthiers for generations.Sustain Block TailpieceHagstrom’s unique Sustain Block Tailpiece™ was the result of design work starting in 1976 and made its first appearance on Swede and Super Swede guitars produced in 1978. Since then it has been a signature feature on many of our solid body models. Each string terminates in a single, massive brass block coupled directly to the guitar’s body. The blocks are detached from one another to reduce interference between the strings, maximizing each string’s unique contribution.About Capital City Guitars:We are a small brick and mortar music store, we take pride in earning the respect of our customers.
