Hagstrom Super Swede Sunburst, 1983

On March 19, 2019 /

The Hagstrom Super Swede, built from 1979 until Hagstrom closed in 1983, was the last of the top quality guitars from the venerable Swedish builder. The original Swede used a bolt-on neck, and one of the Super Swede’s upgrades is a set neck. This Super Swede dates to 1983 at the Hagstrom Alvaden plant, and features a dark red sunburst. It is in overall very good condition, and is complete and original except for the case – a Japanese hard shell case is included. The body and neck are solid maple, and the bound fingerboard is Indian Rosewood.
