Hagstrom Super Swede Dark Storm

Super Swede: the "single cut" spirit revisited Hagstrom style

The Super Swede follows the line of high-end "single cut" guitars, with a Hagstrom approach focused on modern playability and precision. Its longer 25.5" / 648 mm scale provides a tighter response and superior articulation, particularly appreciated for rich chords, heavy riffs, and alternate tunings, while maintaining a balanced feel across the entire neck.

Who is this guitar for?

The Hagstrom Super Swede targets the intermediate to advanced guitarist seeking a versatile electric guitar comfortable in rock, hard rock, metal, modern blues, and powerful pop. Thanks to the push-pull (split) functions and the calibrated pickup pair, it easily shifts from a thick, singing register to clearer, more incisive textures, while maintaining a firm presence in the low frequencies.

Sound

The mahogany body and carved maple top (with flamed maple veneer) create a classic and effective tonal foundation: dense mids, solid lows, and a brighter attack thanks to the maple. The set neck promotes generous sustain and a seamless feel between notes, while the 25.5" / 648 mm scale enhances clarity and precision, especially on the lower strings.

On the electronics side, the Lundgren Design No.2 neck pickup emphasizes warm and clear sounds with great chord definition. The Lundgren Design No.5 bridge pickup delivers a more powerful and articulate register, ideal for tight rhythms and solos that cut through the mix. The 2 volume controls (with R/C circuit) and 2 push-pull tone controls allow quick adjustment of output level, tonal openness, and character variations via the split.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, choose an electric string set with gauge 10-46 (same as the supplied D'Addario set). For transport, the C-51 case is included.
