Signature electric guitar with Resinator wood fingerboard and Lundgren design pickups
The Hagstrom Fantomen Ltd Metallic Silver was developed in close cooperation with the "Nameless Ghouls" of the Swedish occult rock band Ghost and immediately catches the beholder's eye with its sleek design. Hagstrom and Ghost use the classic combination of a mahogany body with a glued mahogany neck, while Lundgren Design humbuckers provide plenty of power.
The Hagstrom Fantomen was developed in collaboration with the Nameless Ghouls of the Swedish rock band Ghost and delivers juicy sounds thanks to its Lundgren design pickups.
Hagstrom Fantomen featuring a classic design
Behind the sleek design of the Hagstrom Fantomen lies a classic construction with mahogany body and glued neck of the same material, providing the perfect foundation for powerful sounds. The "H Expander" truss rod makes the neck profile particularly slim and comfortable, letting every riff and solo come alive on the fretboard easily. The fretboard is made of the signature Hagström Resinator wood, a composite material made of wood glued together under high pressure that prevents any dead spots due to its homogeneous and dense structure.
Lundgren Design pickups
The Nameless Ghouls chose Lundgren Design No. 2 and No. 5 neck and bridge humbuckers, designed by Swedish pickup legend Johan Lundgren, for their Hagstrom Fantomen. Equipped with Alnico II magnets, they crank up the amp and deliver a fat, perfectly defined sound for driving riffs and singing solos. The classic circuitry with a 3-way toggle switch and individual volume and tone controls allows a wide range of tonal options. The push/pull switch in the lower tone pot can be used to split both humbuckers, providing authentic single-coil sounds with a bell-like response.
Stage-ready hardware
Last but not least, Hagström Fantomen Ltd Metallic Silver offers high-quality hardware equipment that can handle even the toughest stage applications with unwavering reliability. Therefore, a classic stopbar tailpiece sits on the body, from which the strings are guided over the Long-Throw Tune-O-Matic bridge. Thanks to the extensive adjustment possibilities, this guarantees exact intonation and comfortable string action. From here, the strings span a down-tuning-friendly scale length of 25.5" (648 mm) up to the headstock, where GraphTech Ratio tuners with individual ratios for each string ensure precise and stable tuning.
