THE JCQ
H-Expander™
All Hagstrom electric guitars and basses include our patented H-Expander™ truss rod. 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 does not only provide ultimate stability of
the neck, but also plays a hand in providing you with the unique “Hagstrom tone”. Longer sustain and a round attack, are a couple of the sonic
characteristics that the H-Expander™ adds to the tonal essence of Hagstrom.
The Foundations
Resinator™ Wood is a wood composite material that is homogeneous in nature and is more stable than any standard wood product.
It is the perfect fingerboard material in that it eliminates wolf notes or hot spots. It has an articulate sound simular 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 details each note played. Like our H-Expander™ truss rod, our Resinator™ wood also plays a major part in producing the
special “Hagstrom tone”.
Hagstrom uses only the finest select tone woods and figured wood stocks to enhance the sound and beauty of each instrument.
Timber is sourced from all over the world to help create a sonically and visually inspiring instrument.
3
Unique innovations
There are a number of other specialty parts designed exclusively by Hagstrom, which greatly enhance the playability, stability and tone of our
instruments. We are convinced that such unique specialized parts and construction make every difference to contribute to building a superior
instrument. Such parts as our unique Hagstrom tailpiece units, Tremar system, Full Contact Tremolo system, Customized Hagstrom pickups,
are only a few of the benefits found on Hagstrom guitars.
Hagstrom Machine Heads
Ensuring accurate tuning, Hagstrom’s own 18:1 and 15:1 gear ratio machine heads are each used throughout our Hagstrom models.
Viking® and HB series basses feature a 17:1 gear ratio for accurate tuning.
Graphtech Black Tusq
Graphtech Black Tusq composite nuts ensure increased sustain, tone, and energy vibration throughout the entire neck. This is a very
important feature that also provides smoother and more accurate tuning of your Hagstrom instrument. The use of Graphtech nuts also allows
the string to slide effortlessly within the nuts slots, allowing for better tuning precision and improving the ability of the instrument staying in
tune, even in the hands of the most demanding players.

Johan Lundgren Design
In search for a unique, powerful and versatile sonic footprint, the
mutual Swedish collaboration between Johan Lundgren (owner of
one of the “holy grail” 1957 pickup winding machines) and Hagstrom
guitars, graces us with the custom voiced humbucker set called
“No.2”. Beyond the sheer twin coil prowess that the Swede model
offers in all its glory, never sacrificing power over tonal clarity and
definition, these pickups deliver a formidable single coil tone on the
Northen Super Swede, which rivals the best original designs

found on similar shaped instruments. The Tonefilter

Pat Smear needs no introduction. Beyond churning
out colossal riffs for the “Foo Fighters” and his Punk
roots starting with “the Germs” and into touring with
“Nivana”, there’s an unmistakable, deep bond between
12
Pat and Hagstrom Guitars. Hagstrom has been Pat‘s
instrument of choice since the 1970‘s, and has graced
the largest stages of the world with his road worthy
Hagstroms in hand. Pat has a similar affection for his
instrument of choice. And we at Hagstrom were more
than pleased to transform his privately customized road
proven workhorse into the Pat Smear Signature guitar you

This slick black beauty is a voluptuous blend of a Vintage Hagstrom H-IIN-OT and the modern day Super Swede. It sports a sleek mahogany body, capped with a deeply
contoured maple top, for extra depth and projection. In close combination with Hagstrom’s Custom 58 AlNiCo humbucking pickups, the Pat Smear Signature guitar cuts
through the mix and sits right in the middle of the Foo’s triple guitar onslaught. Elegant clean tones meet highly saturated distortion power. Just what Pat ordered.

The Hagstrom Super Swede has always been considered one of Hagstrom’s flagship
models, since it was first introduced to the world back in the late 1970’s. Each Super
Swede is crafted using a mahogany body, maple top, and set mahogany neck.
The Super Swede’s 25.5” scale length and the coil split option of the trusted Custom 58
Super Swede EMG in
Cosmic Black Burst
AlNiCo pickups, provide a brighter tone and longer sustain which makes it a wonderful
instrument for players looking for more flexibility than any regular single cut guitar can
offer.
The Super Swede naturally features Hagstrom’s own renowned
H-Expander™ Truss rod providing an ultimately
stable neck that will not warp or twist, and also
being topped with Hagstrom’s own Resinator™
Fretboard material for increased sustain
and even tone throughout the entire fret board.
Killswitch
Built in effect at your “finger tap”. With the onboard,
vandal-proof kill switch you give the much tried 3-way
toggle pickup switch a welcomed relief. Usually misused by
rockers of all genres, (by rolling off the neck pickup volume
and rapidly rocking back and forth the toggle) you now have
a dedicated switch to cut off the output of your Super Swede
EMG in a more apt and rhythmic manner.

The Metropolis’s resonant and light weight body
will satisfy players demanding a comfortable and
versatile instrument, that will “lighten the load” off
a working musician’s back, while allowing fat and
lively tones at the flick of a switch. Each pickup of
the Metropolis C provides a clear and energized tone,
perfect string separation, distinguished harmonics,
as each component contributes a special ingredient in
submitting to its true and extraordinary tone. It will
tantalize players searching for prominent
humbucking tones, which will provide detailed
sparkle and an extended range of harmonics.
The sonic core of the Metropolis S, can best be described as “percussive and detailed”. A newly designed
matched set of single coiled pickups, labeled as
“C-Spin”, exemplifies “Bell Like” classic tone, being
recognizable from single coil equipped instruments
originating from the 1960s. Take a walk down
memory lane together with the Hagstrom Metropolis
models, as you may have found your long lost love.

Enter a true Scandinavian warrior!
Right next to its solid body siblings Swede and Super Swede, the Viking ® is
THE undisputed alltime classic of the Hagstrom guitar range. Being the proverbial bestseller, it is simply one of the finest and affordable semi hollow guitars
in its genre and the marketplace. The meticulous craftsmanship with press
laminated maple body, solid centrepiece sustainblock and a set neck made from
hard maple, it churns out sounds as diverse as they come. The prominent yet
not too hot output of the HJ50 humbuckers, delivers a sonic palette as broad
as Blues, Rock, Jazz Fusion or 60ies Beat.
You can even take it on a shred spin.

Bringing Monumental P-90 Tone
to a Hagstrom Classic
Enter the Viking® P, chiefly based on the original model and its
semi-hollow maple ply body, maple set neck, and stylish Hagstrom trapeze tailpiece which continues to adorn this classic and
influential instrument. Countless hours were placed into specially
matching custom made “Custom P-50” P-90 pickups that were to
compliment the Viking®’s clear and natural accent, resulting in a
rich and harmonious tone without any discoloration of the musical tonal spectrum that the Viking® is so well known for.
The Hagstrom Viking ® P has the ability of producing strong, yet
organic clean tones, which will win the heart of any Blues or Jazz

As our Viking ® is renowned as an instrument capable of
delivering a wide variety of tones to suit a multitude of
playing styles, we expand our selection of the semi hollow
realm with the introduction of the Hagstrom Viking ®
Baritone electric guitar. Like its sisters, the Viking® Baritone
was specially designed to produce a wider range of tonal
versatility to players looking for an instrument in the lower
voiced sub-range to cover a wealth of music styles. Usually,
versatility is often overlooked on baritone instruments
which are built for the market today, until now. We have
even gone so far as to develop two entirely new Hagstrom
pickups to further compliment the variation of different
tones that this guitar was to produce. The Viking® Baritone
includes the new Hagstrom “Custom 58’C” Humbucker in
Viking® Baritone Deluxe in
Black Gloss
the bridge position, being a semi-open coiled humbucker
enhancing the instruments acoustic ringing clarity and
sustain, even in the lower sub-registers offered by this
instrument. Hagstrom’s new “P-Urified” pickup, being a
specially designed full humbucking sized P-90 pickup, sits
in the neck position and offers a warm and open tone while
keeping the lower frequencies “tight and controlled”. The
Viking® Baritone delivers earth shattering and “varied
bari-tones” from clean and classic sounds recognizable
from the 1960’s, “spaghetti westerns“ crunchy overdriven
sounds from the 70’s and 80’s, and even perfectly caters to
the modern day “Über-Driven” tones demanded by today’s
players. Even at higher volumes using excessive gain, the
Viking® Baritone provides the player with an ability to offer
controlled “musical feedback”, thanks to the instrument‘s
semi-hollow body. The 28” scaled Viking® Baritone neck
is equipped with 22 frets, opposed to the more commonly
used 24 fret baritone guitars, being
offered on the market today.

on this 12 stringed chorale piece. Naturally, as found on
each and every Hagstrom guitar, is our famed
H-Expander™ truss rod accompanied by the Resinator™
Fretboard. As a 12 string guitar normally has a tension
Viking® 12 String Deluxe in
Wild Cherry Transparent Flame
of over 200 lbs of pressure on the neck, the H-Expander™
truss rod will keep the 12-string neck straight
for years to come. Due to the further unique
frequencies created with the help of the

Resinator™ Fretboard, the volume and tone
of the octave strings are further enhanced
to keep up with the naturally fuller
volume of the standard strings, to
allow for a lavishing and balanced
12 string sound.
To match the Viking® DLX 12’s fuller
acoustic sound, a set of our Hagstrom
H-50 humbucking pickups are adopted
to provide a natural and clean calibrated
electric tone, delivering cleaner vintage tones
familiar from the golden vintage years, as well as the ability to
deliver nastier tones, to open up a whole new expressive world,
where 12 string guitars have never ventured before.

25,5“/648mm scale, comfortably shaped twin cutaways, a deeply
resonant mahogany body with a highly sculpted maple top and push
pull pots on the tone knobs for an individual coil tap of the Custom 58

Hagstrom‘s Vintage Bass series is not only
capable of offering you the authentic sound and
feel of the namesake era, but also a plethora of
more modern options.
The semi hollow Viking bass beautifully blends
stunning looks and a rich tonal palette. The HB
series faithfully recreates the sought after 4 and 8
string classics, but implements a good portion of
up to date features you‘d expect from today‘s
instruments.

Sight & Sound
Based upon the sought after Concord model from Hagstrom’s revered
founding years, the Viking ® bass injects some tactfully chosen vigor
into an all-time classic design. This meticulously crafted semi-hollow
body bass, with a short scale (30,75”/781 mm), the custom voiced Dyna
Rail humbuckers, a cunning on board circuit which can be dialled in by
a 6-way rotary switch, offers a monumental tonal variety only surpassed by its sheer beauty. Whether it’s the apparent and desired sounds
of the 60ies Brit-Rock invasion or more up-to-date low end goodness,
you’ll be served with ear candy.
Possible pickup configurations using the 6-way
rotary switch are as follows:
1 - Neck + Bridge, Single coil (Outer coils)
2 - Bridge, Single Coil (Outer Coil)
3 - Neck, Single Coil (Outer Coil)
4 - Neck + Bridge, Humbucking
5 - Bridge, Humbucking

When one thinks of Dalarna in Sweden, thoughts often
fall on ancient Swedish tradition, art & handcraft,
Swedish midsummer, and of course Hagstrom. The
new acoustic Hagstrom guitars are inspired by
Dalarna’s great tradition and handcraft culture, which
is something that has always influenced the region
even proceeding the time Albin Hagstrom started his
58
company back in 1925.

Guitars
This is the reason the new Hagstrom acoustic series have adopted the names of locations around Dalarna, which
reflect Hagstrom’s unique tradition and history. With this, we introduce the new Hagstrom acoustic models:
Siljan, Mora, Elfdalia and Dalarna. Each model has been specially developed to produce a unique tone with the
help of hand selected and aged timbers. These special materials are incorporated into popular and well known
body designs, such as Dreadnought, Grand Auditorium and Concert models. Common to all Hagstrom acoustic
models, is the genuine Resinator™ wood material, used for both the fret board and bridges on Hagstrom acoustic
guitars. Resinator™ wood actually magnifies the instruments acoustic response which results in an incredibility
clear and articulate tone no matter where you play on the neck. This ultimately resulting in Resinator™ wood
being a sonically superior material used in building acoustic guitars. Together with Hagstrom’s unique and
special materials, traditional Hagstrom headstock and detailed with Hagstrom’s own unique tuners, each of these
ingredients gives Hagstrom guitars a timeless design. Each one of these instruments represents the Swedish
tradition and contemporary handcraft specially inspired from the Dalarna region in Sweden.
Body Shapes
Dreadnought
Grand Auditorium
Concert
The popular Dreadnought body shape
made its debut approximately 100
years ago. It is known for producing
deep and prominent subs, smooth
mids, and has a pleasant high end
attack. A very popular body shape for
flatpickers.
The Grand Auditorium body shape
has a tendency to emphasise the
pronunciation on the bass and high
frequencies. It is a very popular body
size for finger style players, but it
also performs extremely well for flat
pickers as well.
The Hagstrom Concert body shape
focuses mostly on the mids and highs.
The smaller body size is quite popular
with vintage enthusiasts looking for
a cutting edge tone, and as well as for
players looking for a smaller
comfortably sized body shape.

The Dalarna models using a solid Sitka
Spruce top, with back and sides made
of Rosewood, represents a familiar and
recognizable tone for many. However,
with the use of our special Resinator™
wood materials as used on all of the
Hagstrom acoustic guitars, the tone of this popular wood
combination will be noticeably enhanced which will definitely
place itself in a class of its own.

THE DUTCH UNCLES
Dynamic&Harmonious
The Elfdalia models using a solid Cedar top with
Mahogany back and sides, provides a very “lively
tone“ as Cedar brings out the upper-mid range,
and has a tendency to be “harmonically active”.
Cedar is a great material to express the instruments
overtones. Cosmetically darker than spruce, it often
has a much tighter wood grain. This allows the top of the instrument to
vibrate more, providing a more responsive tone. Cedar works very well
for both flat pickers and finger style techniques.

Radiant&Luminous
The Mora models using a solid Mahogany top with Mahogany back and sides
provides a more brilliant and brighter tone with a generous amount of mid
tones. However, the model produces a rather full tone without being
considered “trebly“or “thin“. Using this single species of wood for the entire
instrument provides a truly unique tone, where
the instrument seems to be specially voiced for
soloing and finger picking styles, as single notes
and phrasing seem to jump out from the instrument.
