HAGSTROM Super Swede Vintage Sunburst Electric Guitar
First introduced in the late 1970’s, the Super Swede has always been considered one of Hagstrom’s flagship models. Each Super Swede is crafted using a mahogany body, maple top, and set mahogany neck.
With a 25.5” scale length and a pair of coil-split-capable Custom 58 AlNiCo pickups, the Super Swede provides a brighter sounding, longer sustaining, and more flexible single-cutaway guitar for players looking for something more than any regular single-cut can offer.
Naturally, the Super Swede is equipped with Hagstrom’s renowned H-Expander™ truss rod and Resinator™ fretboard for a playing surface that provides the ultimate in stability, comfort and tone.

FEATURES |
||
| Hagstrom Machine Heads | ||
| Hagstrom models use 18:1 or 15:1 gear ratio machine heads based on our own designs to insure accurate tuning. | ||
| H-Expander | ||
| Providing tension at both ends and running the entire length of the neck, the rigid yet light-weight alloy truss rod allows for a very low action and thin neck, two factors that were instrumental in earning Hagstrom its reputation as the world’s fastest playing guitar. | ||
| The H-Expander™ truss rod not only provides ultimate neck stability, but it also contributes to Hagstrom’s unique tone. | ||
| Resinator Wood | ||
| Resinator™ wood is a wood composite material that is both more uniform in density and more stable than any standard wood product. | ||
| It provides a stable and clear tone, and also adds higher overtones and harmonics which uniquely detail each note. | ||
| Set Neck | ||
| Our set-neck recipe is the classic and time-tested Mortise and Tenon joint, a design that most efficiently transfers string energy from neck to body, and can often only be found on more expensive custom-built guitars. | ||
| Sustain Block Tailpiece | ||
| Hagstrom’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. | ||
| Each string terminates in a single, massive brass block coupled directly to the guitar’s body. | ||
