Hagstrom Dark King Swede

Swede with 24.75 inch scale length

The Hagstrom Dark King Swede is built around the traditional Singlecut scale length of 24.75 inches, which supports a soft playability and a fat sound. The body of the Hagstrom Dark King is also made of mahogany and has a curved maple top, while the glued mahogany neck has the extremely slim and quickly playable "Slim D" profile thanks to the "H-Expander" tension rod. The "Resinator Wood" fingerboard is also typical of Hagstrom.

Lundgren Design Pickups with versatile circuitry

Hagstrom commissioned Swedish pickup pioneer Johan Lundgren to design the pickups for the Dark King Swede, who enjoys a first-class reputation worldwide for good reason. Accordingly, a Lundgren Design No.2 humbucker sits on the neck, while the bridge position is occupied by Lundgren Design No.5. Equipped with Alnico magnets, the pickups convince with a harmonious warmth and a differentiated sound development, which makes them suitable for traditional blues contexts as well as modern rock and metal. The coil split option also provides authentic single coil sounds, while the volume controls with treble bleed prevent loss of volume when the volume is reduced.
