HAGSTROM "Super Swede New Generation X-tra Special Old Pale" HARDCASE, 4,27 KG

Hagstrom Super Swede The Super Swede with its longer scale length of 25.5 inches (648mm), delivers a snappy and focused tone that features a well-defined low-end presence. Its higher string tension delivers a clear and articulate tone, well balanced and evenly defined. The Lundgren Design No. 2 pickup in the neck position and No. 5 pickup in the bridge position were carefully paired to deliver a wide diversity of tonal options. The AlNiCo-2 neck pickup produces warm and clear tones, while the AlNiCo-5 bridge pickup delivers a powerful and articulate tone. Combined together, they provide a perfect balance of expression and clarity that allows the Super Swede's natural tone to transpire. H-Expander New Generation All Hagstrom electric guitars and basses include our patented H-Expander™ truss rod design. Introduced with the new Swede and Super Swede models and coupled with a dual action truss rod, making adjustments even more accurate, it is fit for a whole new generation of players while retaining Hagstrom’s reputation as the world’s fastest playing guitar. The H-Expander™ truss rod not only provides ultimate neck adjust- and 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. Locking Machine Heads by Hagstrom A variety of Hagstrom instruments include 19:1 gear ratio locking machine heads based on our own distinct innovations to enable highly accurate tuning, fewer wraps around the tuning post, and hence faster string changes. Resinator Wood Resinator™ 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”. Nape-Tenon Body Neck Joint The body and neck joint is a vital part of stringed instruments. When done correctly, it allows for a seamless flow of tone, energy, and resonance. Hagstrom has developed an innovative neck joint design called the "Nape-Tenon", which combines the custom shop proven mortise and tenon design with a recessed neck body joint for ultimate upper fret access. Angled Headstock Construction To address concerns around angled headstocks, each new Swede and Super Swede is equipped with a perfectly lodged "Volute" at the back of the neck-/headstock joint. This provides additional support and strength to this critical area, ensuring that the instrument can withstand the demands of any world tour. Moreover, further reinforcements are applied deep within the construction, ensuring the guitar's durability. Sustain Block Tailpiece Hagstrom’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. Stainless Steel Fret Material While the construction process may take a bit more time and effort, we firmly believe that shortcuts aren't an option when aiming for excellence. That's why we use stainless steel frets, which guarantee a hassle-free lifetime of performance, optimal intonation, and smooth playability. These frets also enhance sustain, clarity, and provide an increased attack. Not to mention, they are perfect for players with nickel allergies, making them a top choice!
