Hagstrom FANTCUS-blk

A Fantomen in Custom Version: Modern DNA Taken Further

The Fantomen Custom embodies the spirit of modern performance-oriented guitars, with a bold silhouette and craftsmanship designed for stability. The Black Gloss finish enhances its sleek and aggressive look, while the choice of a neck-thru construction and quality hardware aims for a reliable instrument, ready for heavy tunings and long playing sessions.

Who Is It For, and Which Styles?

This guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a lively, precise, and durable instrument. Its configuration is particularly suited for modern metal, heavy rock, hardcore, prog, and demanding palm-muted rhythms. Thanks to the split coil on the bridge pickup, it can also deliver airier tones for intros, arpeggios, or clean passages without changing instruments.

Sound

The combination of a body with mahogany "ears" and a 3-ply maple neck-thru provides a very effective balance: solid lows and rich density, supported by a fast attack and excellent note sustain. The ebony fingerboard adds definition and a clearer high end, helping maintain clarity under heavy distortion.

Regarding pickups, the two Lundgren Design humbuckers are crafted for precision: crisp dynamics, string separation, and chord articulation. The split coil on the bridge pickup adds a finer, snappier palette, useful for contrasting a lighter verse with a high-gain chorus or achieving a more biting clean tone.
