Hagström Super Swede Mk3 Fall Sky

Hagström Super Swede MkIII Dark Storm - Electric Guitar
Reimagined. Redefined. Recreated. Reborn.

The Super Swede model was initially called the Swede Deluxe, it was only after a test in an English guitar magazine that the classic model got a new name. The writer declared that this was not a Swede Deluxe, it was a Super Swede

The foundation of the unique tone of the Super Swede is the combination of a 25.5" scale and mahogany body matched with a maple top. This generation of Super Swede keeps that tradition alive. In the process of developing the next generation Super Swede, the goal of Hagstrom's design team was to develop the instrument without compromising on the soul, heart and appearance of the instrument. The body is made of mahogany and is sonically enriched with a maple top. For that little extra, the maple top has been fitted with a 2mm thick maple veneer where the grain is highly graded.

To bring out the full spectrum of this beauty, Hagstrom turned to Lundgren Pickups to find the optimal humbucker pickups for the Super Swede. Based on Lundgren's suggestion, the choice fell on Lundgren Design Pickups Alnico No2 in the neck position and No5 at the bridge. Lundgren Design AlNiCo humbuckers are split-only, which gives additional opportunities to squeeze the entire register out of this guitar regardless of the occasion. To make it easier to reach the very highest notes, Hagstrom has used a new design for the neck attachment. The new Hagstrom mechanics have the classic look but are lockable to help keep the mood better. Guitars have been designed the same way for many years, Hagstrom's Design Team was not happy with that.

With Super Swede comes a substantial case that can handle both the journey to the rehearsal room and the big tours
