Here is a Hagstrom SuperSwede Reissue in Sunburst, dating to around 2005 as the new owners of the name moved production facilities from Korea to China. The Swede has been available in several versions the ‘Standard’ with a bolt-on neck, the ‘SuperSwede’ with set neck. The SuperSwede LTD is built in Sweden.
Super Swede
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.
