All user reviews for the Hagstrom Super Swede

Everything mentioned above.
I would add that the beautiful is manufactured in Sweden and the finishes have nothing to envy a Gibson (I compare it with a Les Paul Standart) .y'a not to say it's really a guitar that exudes luxury and solid.

USE

The neck is super enjoyable, the key is super soft.
each access to acute is pourrav (like all Les Paul) but usually we do it!
good at the weight that is heavy (oh yeah mahogany oblige!) but again we do it and do not pose major problems (except after 3h repet;! it was a little sore in the 'left shoulder ^^)
if not to play sitting was impeccable! she p'têt trend from a little towards the back but I quibble!
j'mets 9 because of the access to the treble!

SONORITS

Then this is the groosse slap !!
This is huge! I have never seen a guitar that went down so low in the low !!
What Sustain sick!
I play rock / hard rock pincipalement and it's great!
she really has an incredible punch, while remaining super precise distortion.
in clean sound is beautiful, moving from a warm, round a super clear sound thanks split!
it seems to have had both a Les Paul and Strat between the legs!
I also play some blues and it really is happiness!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 3 months and it's really great!
I love everything in this guitar!
it is really beautiful and has a terrible sound!
I got it for $ 580 in a lil mag Louvain La Neuve and frankly it's all good!
the ratio q / p is unbeatable in my opinion!
I essaier of Epi, Ibanez, of Lag ... and this guitar beats them all!
I would do this choice again and I recommend highly a lil Trial!

Type lp with a switch and more, nice finish, nice handle, beautiful case, great table, nice guitar what.

UTILIZATION

great handle, very comfortable, everything pretty heavy even, very well finished, very pleasant to play, I have tried lp studio and well I find it over at any point as the prize is not everything.

SOUNDS

well I does not use the switch from underneath that allows to have the more fat (certainly useful for strong distortion of trash and metal deaf) but then it sounds serious, I often play in a small room with only a small THR10 yamaha (I recommend for small config and home, without battery or nag a bass, what a reasonable volume) and simultane lamp works wonders with humbucker pickups. Was not well crystalline strat recess, but the light is more than honorable and ca crunch as it takes that one attack of variation very beautiful game next attack or that it plays in the fingers or plectrum. its very typical round lp I repeat myself but largely better than lp studio yet listening 2 times the price.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it by chance of occas with a beautiful pet behind so cheap. I must say that I 've never been satisfied with the lp guys I've tried to used the strat gibson sleeves did not like it, its not good either and although for once this one m has very surprised. It's been over a year since I no longer that with it, I forgot my strat in his bag (which I loved for 24 years), n play use more than that, I just wish vibrato above. After we will see in time, but the value for money seems hardly beatable especially occas. Surely I will pay when I have nearly a sub, but for a more than reasonable reasonable c is really a bargain budget.

Swedish brand but Asian manufacturing for reasons of cost, very nice work!
Chevaler Tune O Matic fixed Resinator handle (resin) super nice to touch and play
Level frets, there are plenty but the highs are hard to access for a beginner.
Micro level, the Peru Humbuckers Made in Hagstrom, and split into single coils, 2 volumes, 2 tones, a 3-position selector.

UTILIZATION

Very very nice handle, good overall balance (the handle does not sting the nose too) weight "consistant" but reassuring and providing excellent sustain.
Access to acute complicated for a beginner (like me).
Very good sound even unplugged!

SOUNDS

And sound! rather sounds with humbuckers to single convertible!
It is tough, powerful but warm, round and well slamming double, single with a significant power loss to offset the gain level of the amp.
Blues, rock, hard rock nickel, it sends.
Played on a Ibanez TSA15H all lamps and night on a Zoom G3: a pleasure!
Best sound: big sound heavy (but not too much metal either though ...) and the blues. BB King is me (well almost ...)

OVERALL OPINION

Few months with her and I think only to play again and again!
This is my first and probably for a long time.
Purchased after reading moults sites, reviews ... then tested in the vendor with a guitarist friend.
Validated purchase when buying the amp in the store. Beginner, I asked a guy to kindly make it sound on the Ibanez that I coveted. A regular tumbling, head of mag asks her to play ... and there! Slap to all the guys present. The guy advised me to buy the guitar (already done!) And the amp is downright stunning.
Balance, I bought the amp and I'm proud to confess that the guitar is already mine, na na na!
So yes I would do this choice.
Besides my guitarist friend bought the same one month after attempted.
Superb!

Gibson Les Paul type, but this is not a copy!
Made in China I think.
Tun O Matic Bridge (so no vibrato)
Channel 22 cases with reference to a rectangle (to be ugly ... Ok well I go out!)
2 Humbucker from home I think Hagstrom
2 volume knobs, 2 tone knobs, 3-position selector ... And a split!
Perfect finish

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, difficult access to treble from the 17th box (the same time obliges Les Paul)
The weight? Well it weighs! Finally like all the guitars of Les Paul type ... Finally it is heavier than me your wife anyway! (I can come home? Not Always :-/ ^ ^) ...

SOUNDS

I play everything, I plug in a Roland Micro Cube.
The clear sound is excellent, it slams into bridge pickup and micro serious sound turns out to be mild.
With distortion, the guitar you orgasmic triggers a reaction (at the ears of course ...) that roar, it's bold, it's dirty, micro serious sound resembles more of his Les Paul that is very enjoyable!
But! The personal split does not serve me a lot, of course means that the micro is less "powerful" but that does not bring me much.
Finally, even if the particular quality of wiring worthy of the quality of play Marseille in 2012 (BORDEAUX! XD) This lack of care at the electronic level (which is apparently very present in Hagstrom) I asked a few problems:
This may explain the fact that the split does not hug me too, but especially the lack of difference between the intermediate position in its grave. And intermediate postion in the grave if I cut, I did more than simply its

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for over two years, this guitar a perfect finish stands out from the Les Paul, while retaining its legendary gear. One may regret the lack of care is on the electronics can be corrected easily with your favorite luthier.
For 500 euros, we will offer a little guitar "original" that can be taken to Jimmy Page, Slash, or it will break into piggy bank ...

The Hagstromiens have already said everything. In summary:
- 22 frets, resin button.
- Channel and 45mm mahogany body with maple table with 10mm
- Pickups Humbuckers and split-single, three-position switch
- Mechanical Hagtrom

The finish is decent, but did not reach the high end Epiphone LP (Tribute range).

UTILIZATION

This is one of the easiest guitars to play I could be in pognes.
Channel type 60 'intuitive. Access to acute Les Paul is typically so poor.
The resin key is a success, very pleasant to use, not to mention its durability over time compared with girlfriends maple, rosewood etc ...
The weight is therefore, there is solid wood and quantity, which will greatly influence the sound.
The holding of the agreement is good. The sustain is excellent.
The selection switch is an abomination to change emergency (sensitive to oxidation - 5 euros)

SOUNDS

This is a guitar that I had 3 years ago in another finish and resold. No particular criticism. I had given only to the sirens of an Epi Tribute with its top fittings and its US Gibson humbuckers made in 57 and split-classic, electronic sound neat and excellent finish ...
But just here is, with all these people, to use, I was far from feeling that I had with the Superswede.
The Epi Tribute is a great guitar, very close to some Giby LP, but its relatively forward medium, its lack of serious and sensitive sensuality in the low and medium sound twangy 57 Classic mode split me bitterly regretted the fact Superswede.
After trying a range of consistent LP like, I bought a Superswede. So let's talk about his level:
I play on Blacheart BH5, H & K tube Peavey Heritage and 25Th anniversary in 1980.
Position humbucker, this guitar has tremendous bass lined with excellent definition on the other spectra due to the consequent maple top. Low medium very warm, although this medium without excess, the highs are smooth and precise, harmonics fuse alone.
Sensuality and finesse are the two adjectives that come to me when I pull one over solos.
I play pop / blues / Rock for short. The sound is vintage and clearly will not suit a modern game in my opinion.
In split mode, the microphones are well above the classic 57 with a sound that wavers between a P90 and a single coil. The cleans are slammin and overdrive, squeak warmly.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is surprisingly versatile thanks to its beautiful violin pickups and split-and of good sound. In my opinion, these pickups have no interest to be changed.
It complements my custom Telecaster of 1978 in spite of the strident rhythmic.
This is now what might be called a safe bet. Of course, I have not tried everything suggested by the market and the level of manufacturers rises each year.
I look over in that price range. Suggestions?

MY OPINION: This guitar is very well finished. I have looked at the seams and compared with the Epiphone Les Paul copy for lack of a true Gibson. The keys to tension, bridge, knobs, frets, inlays, bindings breathe the highest level. The seller told me that this guitar comes at the Gibson Les Paul. Ok agree it is a seller, but rather see the rest of the notice under "Sounds". If a posseseur LA super expensive Les Paul wants to answer no worries. I put 9 / 10 because I never touched a real Gibson.

UTILIZATION

NECK: The neck is very nice for qq'un that comes from the Start. I have not experienced hardship. The frets are wider than a Start but not Start .... The key is made in a wood composite (wood resinator). I have read it and realize that it was not rosewood.

SHRED: To access the acute need to see. This is the ergonomics of the Les Paul so we like it or not. I do not think it's possible to shred on that guitar like Joe Satriani but this is not the goal. As I want to rock like the Foo Fighters, K's Choice, The Beatles etc (yes I know it's pretty eclectic) this quitar is superb. Otherwise why so many people did they fall in love with the Les Paul?

WEIGHT AND BALANCE: With respect to the weight I think it's heavier than a Epiphone léger.Je but it really did not get the impression that blood flow was cut in my Jambres Support sitting. For balance I think it's good aussi.Je did try that in a sitting position but neither the body nor the head can look.

Sound and LUTHERIE: This guitar is like a contstruite tanque. I think that the handle will not twist any time soon as it comes with a truss rod that is at the very least 28 pct of the volume (cubic cm) of the handle. The truss rod is shaped like an H and is under pattente of Hagstrom.

I put 9 / 10 pter PCQ is even better who knows (I think of the Gibson-boys).

SOUNDS

SOUND: it's great. I wanted an Epiphone LP standard achter "+" for its looks. I also liked the sound so it was sold. Then the salesman comes to me and asks if he can give a shot in the anthill. I told him yes and he handed me a Hagstrom Super Swede in Black. I thought at first that It was an Epiphone LP Black but after I saw the look looking logo.En I said "Not good" because it was too dark and square (knobs). In addition I first said that Hagstrom was a mark of second-class ... I tested the sound but I did not see the difference at first. The seller told me that the Hag is better but I am still clinging to the Epiphone. Then he told me to play a riff. I chose "Owner of a Lonely Hart" to YES and then I heard the difference with the Epi. What is missing in the Epiphone is what dynamique.C punch and is certainly the case for the riff Yes or sound must be impeccable. The Hag sounds very accurate while the Epi is soft. To make a comparison of the Culinary Hag is good fresh butter from the fridge is still firm. The Epiphone is the butter that remained for 20 minutes out of the fridge at a weather temperature of 23 °. Epiphone 3 / 10 Hag 9 / 10. I put 9 / 10 because I do not know how a true Gibson sound.

For rock and blues that's great. I used a Marshall for the test. With the toggle swich is really two guitars in one (Start and Gibson). This switch gives the impression of having a car traffickers with a nitro boost, but it is really cool.

The Sustain: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEnorme. It's really a treat. Resonent notes really well.

PARASITES: a master level equal, I find the same punch in the questions but Epiphone SG parasite is a world of difference. The SG captures anything like it's horrible. I do not talk about ergonomics, but that's another story.
10/10 PCQ I put the sound is really great accurate.

OVERALL OPINION

I did a test with but I've ordered for my model in Vintage Sunburst.

When I saw the guitar for the first time I thought it was an Epiphone LP Black. I was shocked when I saw it was a Hagstrom. I then said I did not want it because this guitar is too dark for me and the name ... I found also that the design of the head did not suit me and there was not the same hardware. By testing versus EPI Hagstrom are my ears that were decisive. Why should I pay 500 EUR for a copy of Gibson while another brand offers a Gibson US equivalent to 89 EUR more (69 EUR if you do not Flammed model)? I think the quality Duesenberg. At first I did not look for the Duesenberg was not the same as the Gibson (colors and decoration). It was like a car 40 '50'. Afterwards I read nothing but praise about the brand and wanted to buy a Starplayer + / - 1100 EUR. Moral: THE LOOK IS NOT ALL ON or get used to everything.

Basically this guitar is worth more than Epiphone Les Paul while the difference is only 89 EUR (for flammed you pay 20 euro more). Lutherie superbre, his great, great price. You can spend 2500 EUR for a real Les Paul but if you do the Home Studio you could do a lot of fun shopping with that restent.Eg 1900 EUR: 600 EUR Presonus Audio Interface, Microphone Rode NT1 200 EUR, 1100 EUR Powerbook? Finally it depends on what you want. If you want a good amp sounds substitute the Fireface by the Line 6 UX 2 to $ 200. You then 400 EUR. With 50 EUR plus you have the Boss DR 880 that sounds really good. With 2550 EUR you have a multitrack studio complete with a bunch of well-amp sound, effects, mic preamps, a good drummer and bassist that goes with it (on the DR 880), and versatile guitar. OK you are missing monitors but if you already have a computer you can buy Yamaha remains you EUR.Il 600 500 EUR which I do not know what you can do. Buy Neutrik cables, feet condenser microphone for your restaurant to pay for your neighbors that you forgive the tappage night (or buy a headphone it's cheaper).

Croustilliant small detail: the head of Hagstrom is a subtle blend of Gibson and Fender. I mean the keys are not all on one side but 3-3 as a Gibson. Late head against the form of a Start. Gibson heads for their part are symmetrical and is the form of an open book. Since it is possible to switch the single coil / humbucker this guitar is perfectly versatile. Start and Gibson go hand in hand.

LAST NOTE: This brand has enjoyed great success during this first time between 1958 and 1983. Nearly 23 years after they return in force with the same qualities that made them famous. Hope that the price remains intact. Production resumed in 2006. Wow I therefore Hag of the first generation of reissue. COLLECTOR?

Objective analysis:
Guitar manufacturing communist
Mahogany neck and body, key in a composite material
1 volume, 1 tone, 1 3 position selector, a selector split
Guitar type LesPual

Analysis:
I was curious to try this guitar, I had heard great things and I, when I cross, wanted to take this opportunity. However, I did not notice ... she seemed a little lost among the esp custom shop and other warriors around him, but I can certify that a standard mag, surrounded by Squier and Ibanez, the quality of the finish would type over immediately to the eye.

That's what surprised me ... for 750 Swiss francs, there's not much to complain about. The varnish has no visible defects, the handle is properly fitted, the frets well applied ... that you ask for?

(8) A guitar with everything you need after even a split! We can only criticize a little wood, correct without being able to compete with other high-end competitors.

UTILIZATION

The surprise comes in this category! Yes, it's a very nice instrument to play. I enjoyed the best round on the gibsconne with sleeves 50's, even if the handle 60's and that of the warrior soldier killent everything in their path.

I had the impression of playing on an instrument with a range greater than the price range where it wanders. The frets were nice, the action was nice, I regretted the absence of Ebony for the key (I like gasoline), but it could develop a sensitivity, however, very important on this fretboard.

I also liked the split, adding the twang in the signal, but as always, somewhat distorting the process when applying to a guitar equipped with double. The sounds were good early, but we will return.

(8) Ergonomics LesPualienne, so up to 8 ... do not push it!

SOUNDS

When empty, the guitar shows little power projection, she stands in the middle of the pack with less, however, an overall pleasant sweetness.

I plug ...

There I also had a good surprise, cleans out the guitar has personality, warmth, a pleasant flight in the high, and once splitter, microphones deliver a slight twang pleasant in the records vintage.

In crunch, the sound had the consistency and thickness, again with a slightly sharp flute, making a nice solo. I was surprised capacity Jekyll and Hyde of the craft. Sometimes warm, almost bluesy, and sometimes incisive, well-rock. Perfect! For Chipotte, I would say the pickups are worth anyway not Bartolini, or bare knuckles Hauessel, but it is already in excellent mics that have nothing to envy some references most prominent.

(9) an excellent tool in terms of sound

OVERALL OPINION

For this price it's pretty amazing what we have hands. In fact, the only thing that is scary is the image of cheap Super Swede, but ultimately, it contains sounds successful, a true ergonomics and build quality (apparently, only time will tell how they age) convincing.

(10) in this price range I can put this note. Compared to the Gibs stuffed finish defects or construction in their entry-level models, compared to epiphone sounds with some chemicals in the entry level, compared to tokai which can lower the price its Japanese as low, Hagstrom offers us an alternative product for fans but connoisseurs.

Country: diverse origins of the pieces! wood canada, microphones: mount made in korea "CE"

UTILIZATION

I will not go through 4 Chemain ...
This guitar is in my opinion what's the best in this price range!
The handle and the most playable ILM 'have been given to touch! much nicer than the sleeves gibs.n!
A perfect grip and finish that flirts with the high end!
Unheard of in this price range!
For the weight that is heavy, very heavy! I like that but I was really the impression not be alone with a toy!
Listed Luter, cella surpasses without any problems and easily
the series "Les Paul" of Epiphi e! ..
We get it sound very "vintage" more flexible and less fat than on "paul" very bluesy and much slamming! the "split" is a really great "click" and you pass a "les paul" has a "Start!" without losing the changes! amazing!

SOUNDS

This guitar is my style perfectly agree!
Sound at a time CLEEN for blues and rock very powerful thanks to the micro split!
On an amp marchal or orange, it gives its full potential! I'm repeating myself but this guitar is a beast! Of pure happiness!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it recently but I wonder how I have been don 't move!
Most of this guitar: A race like no other!
Its a very typical and well she has that is very vintage!
A violin and fine finish
Looks beautiful
Electronics responds to the hair! the knobs are
respondent and the shade
Cons: for some it may be the weight because it is heavy!
the rest I find no negatives ...

Finally I would say that I remake this choice with his eyes closed and that if one wanted me to exchange it against the above model les paul epi bein home I would say no!
My next will be Hagstrom guitars! ca c 'is a certainty!
Try it and miss it!

Les Paul guitar shape with the possibility of split mics, here is the detailed description:

- Corps Acajou (thickness 45 mm) with flamed maple top (10 mm)
- Mahogany neck
- Touch wood composite benchmarks Pearl Blocks Hagstrom
- Setting spindle H-Expander
- 648 mm
- Mechanical Hagstrom oil bath
- 2 micros Hagstrom Custom 58, 3-position selector
- Tune O Matic Bridge with string Hagstrom block
- 2 volumes, 2 tones, mini micro switch for split

It costs about 570 €. I do not know where it was manufactured (China, Korea ...). Nothing to say yet on the finish. It is frankly nickel. The knobs, the mechanics and all hardware is of good quality.

UTILIZATION

The guitar is heavy but well balanced. The handle is comfortable thanks to the sidelines Resinator (composite made in Hagstrom). No problem to access the treble. This is not the easiest race to play than I have tried but that's to get everyone's opinion.

SOUNDS

I use this guitar on a Marshall Valvestate 100 and a Fender Champion 600. No need to break the head and just plug the guitar sounds great! The clean sound is beautiful. The bass is very present but the sound is well defined. This is particularly significant when using the bridge pickup with a good distortion.

My style of music: blues, rock, jazz. This guitar gives me satisfaction. It is really super versatile. The Split Micro further extends the possibilities. In short, I do not think there is a style of music this guitar can cover. Above all, there is no need to take this head so that the guitar sounds and being able to find the sound that interests me.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for over a year and I could not do without. The price / quality ratio is excellent.
I really like this guitar and I frankly find it flawless. Maybe I find if I could afford to buy a Gibson

For those who did not understand, I really recommend this guitar. Since this brand is not well known in France, you may be a little difficult to find one. However, it was not really hesitate to try it.
