Model overview
Beneath its refined exterior, the HAGSTROM Swede-F - Black Gloss hides a bold character that reveals itself the moment you strike your first chord. Its sound is a fusion of power and clarity. The mahogany body brings warmth and depth, while the maple top adds crisp attack and balanced resonance. The bolt-on Resinator neck — Hagstrom’s innovative composite material — adds stability and minimises sensitivity to changes in temperature and humidity.
The electronics deserve special mention. The two Custom 58C humbuckers allow you to shape your tone with ease — from crystal-clear jazz or indie lines to aggressive, driven rock leads. A three-way toggle and individual volume and tone controls provide an impressive range of tonal options.

Hagstrom’s unique combination of tonewood and Resinator technology ensures long-lasting tuning stability, reducing the need for constant adjustments. Even after extended sessions, the Swede-F maintains reliable intonation and tonal consistency.
