Its lower string tension allows for longer sustain, providing an expressive and versatile tone. The equipped Lundgren Design No. 2 AlNiCo-2 pickups are each specially calibrated to capture the natural, balanced tone of the instrument. With their clear and well-defined distinction, these pickups allow the soulful character of the Swede to shine through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eH-Expander New Generation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAll 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLocking Machine Heads by Hagstrom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eResinator Wood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eResinator™ 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”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNape-Tenon Body Neck Joint\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAngled Headstock Construction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSustain Block Tailpiece\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHagstrom’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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eStainless Steel Fret Material\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhile 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!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSpecs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBody: Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTop: ¾” Carved Maple Top w\/ Top Grade Flame Maple Veneer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBinding: Single-Ply Ivoroid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eStyle: Single Cutaway\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNeck: Mahogany, Set Neck, customized Nape-Tenon neck joint for ultimate fret access\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNeck Thickness: 1st fret 20mm (excludes FB, paint clear coat) 12th fret 21.5mm (excludes FB, paint clear coat)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTrussrod: Dual Action H-Expander™\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFingerboard: Resinator™\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eScale Length: 24.75” (628 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRadius: 14.4“\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eInlays: Ivoroid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePosition Marks: Hagstrom Crest inlays – Hagstrom Lions on 12th fret\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFrets: Stainless Steel - 22 Medium Jumbo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNut: Custom String Spaced - GraphTech™ Black Tusq XL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNut Width: 43 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHeadstock Reinforcement: Volute with internal reinforcements\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePickup Neck: Lundgren Design AlNiCo-2 No. 2 (Medium Output – Calibrated – 7.3K) Humbucker - Splitable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePickup Bridge: Lundgren Design AlNiCo-2 No. 2 (Medium Output – Calibrated – 8.3K) Humbucker - Splitable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSwitch: 3-Way Toggle Switch w\/Hagstrom Brass Plated Cap (Chrome Plated)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eControls: 2 x Volume Control with R\/C Circuit, 2 x Tone Control with Push-Pull Coil Splits\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTuning Keys: Hagstrom Bottom Locking – 19:1 Ratio Chrome Tuners w\/Hagstrom Tuning Buttons\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eStop Tail: Hagstrom Direct Mounted Sustain Blocks, Plexi Glass Plate, with Chrome Cover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBridge: Long Travel Tune-O-Matic Bridge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eKnobs: 4 x Hagstrom “H” Barrel Knurled Brass Knobs (Chrome Plated)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePickguard: Single Ply Ivoroid or 3-ply Black\/White\/Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePickup Frames: Hagstrom “Standard” Humbucker Pickup Frame set\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eStrap Buttons: Set of 3, with dual mount at base of body\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eStrings: D’Addario (10-46)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCase: Included C-51\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hagstrom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54066759139669,"sku":"24072","price":735.54,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0513\/5964\/5863\/files\/Screenshot2026-06-04at16.38.58.png?v=1780583980","url":"https:\/\/theguitarstore.eu\/products\/hagstrom-swede-dark-storm-with-case","provider":"The Guitar Store EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
