HAGSTROM - SUSWEMK3-CFL - SuperSwede MKIII w / case - Crimson Flame

The Super Swede with its longer scale length of 25.5 inches (648mm), delivers a snappy and focused tone that features a well-defined low-end presence. Its higher string tension delivers a clear and articulate tone, well balanced and evenly defined. The Lundgren Design No. 2 pickup in the neck position and No. 5 pickup in the bridge position were carefully paired to deliver a wide diversity of tonal options. The AlNiCo-2 neck pickup produces warm and clear tones, while the AlNiCo-5 bridge pickup delivers a powerful and articulate tone. Combined together, they provide a perfect balance of expression and clarity that allows the Super Swede's natural tone to transpire. H-Expander NewGen: All 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. Resinator Wood: Resinator™ 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”.
