Hagstrom uses a variety of different neck joints throughout our range. Adorned with the legendary Hagstrom crest it truly is elegance defined. Right underneath the top part, where the two beautifully swept beams meet, it features a string claw for easy access and super comfortable string changes. The classic Viking trapeze stringholder/-tailpiece design, is a work of art in itself. Longer sustain and a round attack are some of the sonic characteristics the H-Expander adds to the tonal essence of Hagstrom.

The H-Expander truss rod not only provides ultimate neck stability, but it also contributes to Hagstrom’s unique tone. 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. You can even take it on a shred spin.Īll Hagstrom electric guitars and basses include our patented H-Expander truss rod. Hagstrom’s prominent, yet not-too-hot HJ50 humbucking pickups deliver a broad sonic palette ranging from Blues to Rock to Jazz-Fusion to 60’s Beat and beyond. With its meticulously crafted laminated maple body, solid centre-sustain-block, and hard-maple set neck, it churns out sounds as diverse as they come. It is THE undisputed all-time classic of the Hagstrom range, and is one of the finest and most affordable semi-hollow guitars on the market today. Enter a true Scandinavian warrior! The Viking stands proudly next to its solid-body siblings, the Swede and Super Swede.
