Hagstrom Swede SE

everything has already been said

UTILIZATION

Channel radius 15 "very fast, it's true mahogany" button Resinator "own brand very well put frets composite, apple hands no risk. Indeed nail back can be a disadvantage to you to polish the Swedish wool and button do not worry we adapt very quickly.
Yes, with their excellent mics we get a very good sound with sustain emphasized. Already empty we feel "the hulk" that does not sound dull. Though set and testing connected to 40W ', then there! very big surprise! with the assistance of a mahogany table on a maple veneer and playability handle everything was in harmony for a record that I found unexpected see exceptional in this "price range".
-These are of course the key elements in an acquisition, reinforced by a slightly smaller than the traditional LP which focuses on a slightly higher treble very attractive ergonomics. All with a flawless finish.

SOUNDS

Past mistakes consolidate experience today ... I struggled against a hasty appeal, as its sound and comfort attracted me almost immediately. It is true and fortunately, you find yourself wanting to extend the period of the handle, it is not a good sign and worse .... and what tone! With very good pickups nothing "crachouille", the knobs are more than adequate. It's clean, it is clear in "clean" the crunch's remarkable and it sends the "sauce" around a "well muscled Overdrive "it has under the" mushroom ". It sounds! .... With a few pedals on traditional amps ... (very "Fenderienne or Marshallian and other VOX .. your choice"), noted more on "The Valve 50" .. Very vintage .. 60/70 and modern at the same time as timeless!. Versatile, tailor-made for blues, rock, and remarkable for the "jazz" I think it is due to these sacred p/90 both 'Neck' in Bridge or split "
I love everything ... lots of character ... really it is true that it is a LP with a very big personality.

OVERALL OPINION

It catches the eye, it is an unusual LP ... with character and attractive we say in diable.C is a relatively unknown LP and deserves much better than intimate recognition. J encourages your fingers to deposit their "pressure" ... outstanding quality and finish on a very reasonable price we tried to be above the proposed tariff. Once again the Asian productions surprise us or they will stop these "demons"?? .

-Med in China, excellent color "sunburst / Tobacco" finish.
-Bridge "Tuno / matic" tailpiece own brand as its handle stuck more "trussrod" tuning fork with 628mm as well as P/90S micros "HAG." 2 volume, 2 tone, 3 positions.

UTILIZATION

-Beautiful, mahogany body with a table adorned with a maple veneer "sunburst well veined and transparent"
Channel "radius 15" with a "trussrod house," a little slim '2-piece mahogany neck and treated "Resinator" keys or the own-branded composite, a little spec', a little 'oily com' sensation ", a very neutral feel in the beginning, more surprised than charmed I confess. But with very good frets and because it is so "fast" it quickly turns his formidable add lifts are excellent.
-Focusing on a sharp LP. Slightly smaller for this type of grat ', which makes it very attractive in ergonomics.
-Most importantly, with good projection vacuum plugged it is a revelation we are surprised by the quality of these microphones "house" of P/90 S. For they have a version of P/90 less voracious, this that does not mean that they are so hyper 'powerful. No, but it will "move" because they have the "belly" (10K), and especially a sound palette that speaks to you. This is Round "bridge", as in that of the handle, we see deep bass, velvety and well "covered" ... treble well defines who through their outputs do not attack, p 'be a p'trop dug in the mids but it' m not mind instead .... Since I have acquired other, j 'familiar Hagstrom ............. we are rarely disappointed.

SOUNDS

Of course it suits my expectations if not why did you buy it??
Although "Vintage" and simple microphones quite "fat" sound is obtained while preserving the slamming. This is not a compromise. it is a sound with its own personality. For "bleuser" that's great, then playing on the knobs for rock/70/80 sends around distortion 'progressive, because side amp and additive we just give him to "eat" and if it ! it is not versatile ... Even the "jazzman" will find something to use and always surprising.
-For amps I remember Orange, VOX, Marshall and Fender that "fart well Clean" around these p/90 .... (and before with "D'Flder and Hotel California," .. "A'Young ACDC "..." Deep Purpel "..." Money f 'nothing / On SRAIT "...)

OVERALL OPINION

Very well finished for a relatively modest sum, since 3 / / / 4 years she delighted me. A little unusual you feel individualize this intention. I discovered "Hagstrom" we were talking about all this quite positively and grat 'has imposed me a LP that I've never been very "Fan" up to this acquisition.
Yes I tried a few "Epiphone" and "Hagstrom have done me the" eye ", a Jazz/600 Hag 'very good and a good viking, but beautiful trapeze tailpiece left me" marble, "injury", but not as concerned party for a "solidbody" ... only their "Deuce" has tempted me ... Over the years the charm still works which allows me to say that it was a excellent choice ... I do not urge you to acquire blindness but there definitely try if you cross.

UTILIZATION

After 2 hours with the beast ...

Unlike all the guitars I've tried (swede, viking, vintage VS100, Strat Fender / Squier MIK C77 blackout ...) the neck position and neck / brigde is falling, both in rhythm and solo .

is singing, full of harmonics. It is cut for clean / crunch so jazz - blues-rock blues. To get the ACDC or ZZTOP knowing that my amp is typed vintage (H & K Statesman Dual EL84) is not obvious.


To compare with my C77 blackout, the Swede SE me half a slap: Action lower, faster and more comfortable handle, lighter, better sustain (What sustain!), Access to acute almost identical, better finish. The only point where my C77 is higher, it is well on the neck position edgy overdrive channel (mini HB requires).

She came well set ... The Pouche is beautiful too ...



ed: one for the electronics looks good compared to what we know about the subject (see in time). The volume knobs are quite progressive too without distorting the sound (treble loss ds). the knobs of his tone this time to forget (it's a bit all or nothing).

Also note that the high frets less than my C77 also promote the rapid Thurs

I noted an imbalance between the clean microphones. but I think it was his interest in neck + bridge position: hot and full of harmonics. so this is the neck microphone that my full attention especially for solos (most powerful) with rhythmic neck + bridge. Overdrive in the gap between the microphones seems attenuated but like the clean are the other two position I prefer. to do with a higher shooting.

I love
