Hagstrom Swede MK III Electric Guitar – Dark Storm – Hardshell Case Included

The Swede is the guitar that built Hagstrom's reputation in the 1970s, and the MK III is its modern form. A mahogany body under a maple and flame maple top gives it weight and warmth, and the mahogany set neck uses a short tenon joint for solid coupling between neck and body.

Two Lundgren Design AlNiCo 2 humbuckers keep the voicing on the vintage-leaning side of hot — thick and vocal rather than brittle. The long-throw tune-o-matic sits over Hagstrom's Sustain Block Tailpiece, where each string terminates in its own brass block coupled straight to the body; the blocks are separated from one another so strings don't interfere, which is where a lot of the Swede's sustain and note separation comes from. Underneath it all, the patented H-Expander truss rod and Resinator fingerboard deliver the fast, low-action neck Hagstrom is known for.

Includes the Hagstrom C-51 hardshell case — real protection, included at no extra cost.
