Description HAGSTROM Swede - Black Gloss
The moment you pick up the HAGSTROM Swede - Black Gloss, it becomes clear that this is more than just an electric guitar — it’s an instrument with character, created to inspire new musical discoveries and help you express emotion through sound.
This guitar is a tribute to rock ‘n’ roll tradition, refined with modern attention to comfort and detail. The Swedish brand HAGSTROM has long been synonymous with craftsmanship, tonal stability and flawless build quality. Every element here is designed so you can focus on the emotion, not on fighting your instrument. Its glossy black finish catches the light like the polished surface of a concert stage, while the full-bodied, resonant tone practically begs to be played loud and with feeling.

- Rock-solid tuning stability. The proprietary H-Expander truss rod adds strength to the neck and keeps tuning consistent, no matter the climate.
- Uncompromised beauty. The sleek black gloss finish highlights the flowing body lines and gives a sense of luxury — as if this guitar were born for the stage.
- Versatile sound range. A three-way toggle and separate volume and tone controls invite you to explore a variety of tonal options.
Model description
On closer inspection, the HAGSTROM Swede - Black Gloss reveals a perfect union of tradition and innovation — every design choice has a purpose. The mahogany body foundation contributes a deep, resonant low end, while the subtly arched top sits comfortably against the player, distributing weight evenly. That balance makes all the difference during long playing sessions — your back and shoulders will appreciate it.
The neck is also crafted from mahogany and topped with HAGSTROM’s unique Resinator fingerboard, a material that combines the best attributes of wood and composites. Resistant to humidity and low-maintenance, it still feels organic and responsive beneath the fingers. The fretwork is pristine — sliding along the neck feels smooth as glass, and every note rings out clearly and with depth.
HAGSTROM’s signature H-Expander truss rod is another hallmark of the brand. It provides excellent rigidity at minimal weight, ensuring a perfectly straight neck even under extreme string tension. The result is a neck that stays true and tuning that remains stable for weeks on end.
The Custom 58 humbuckers are tailored especially for this model, producing a rich, saturated tone with a warm midrange and singing highs. Combined with the three-way selector switch, they offer a wide tonal palette — from mellow jazz chords to assertive rock riffs and solos with endless sustain. Independent volume and tone knobs for each pickup let you sculpt your sound precisely to suit every song or mood.
The glossy finish doesn’t just look stunning — it also protects the wood, making the instrument more resistant to small scratches and wear. The chrome hardware completes the look, giving an impression of refinement and durability that will never go out of style.
This model feels equally at home on stage and at home. Built for hours of comfortable play without compromising tone, it responds beautifully to every touch. Even a slight brush of the strings invites you to keep playing, while the angled cable jack reduces unwanted noise and interference.
Who is it for?
The HAGSTROM Swede - Black Gloss is designed for players who see music as a universal language — beyond genres and generations. For beginners, it’s an inspiring starting point: forgiving, easy to set up, and rewarding to play. Seasoned musicians will value its tonal depth and versatility — equally impressive in studio productions and live performances.
Session guitarists will find a reliable companion adaptable to countless styles — blues, rock, pop, alternative, hard rock — it handles them all with confidence. Producers and composers will appreciate how flexible its character can be: from soft, glassy low-gain tones to a thick, powerful wall of sound.
It helps fulfil every musician’s greatest goal — to focus on the idea and let the sound speak for itself. And when an instrument supports rather than hinders creativity, making music becomes pure pleasure.
