Singlecut electric guitar with Lundgren Design humbuckers and flamed maple top
The Hagstrom Ultra Max Special Amaryllis Flame Red expands the successful Ultra Max line-up of the traditional Swedish company and a particularly flexible electric guitar, which turns out to be an absolute all-rounder for almost any music style. Two full-sized Lundgren-design humbuckers on neck and bridge deliver a rich sound thanks to the additional coil-split circuit, which includes fat humbucker sounds for Blues and rock as well as sparkling single-coil tones. While the mahogany body of the Ultra Max Special features a beautiful flamed maple top, the "Slim D" profile of the glued mahogany neck offers best conditions for a comfortable playability. Last but not least, a Sustain block tailpiece, a Tune-O-Matic bridge and precise die-cast tuners complete the Ultra Max Special Amaryllis Flame Red electric guitar by Hagstrom.
The Hagstrom Ultra Max Special Amaryllis Flame Red is a particularly flexible all-round guitar in the classic singlecut design.

Agile Singlecut guitar with long scale length
For the construction of the Ultra Max Special, Hagstrom relies on the classic set-neck design with 25.5" scale length (648 mm), which promises a tight sound due to the higher string tension. While the mahogany body carries a curly maple top with elegant grain, the glued mahogany neck naturally comes with the H-Expander tension rod, which is common for Hagstrom guitars. The slim "Slim D" neck profile also promises agile playing characteristics from the highest to the lowest position of the Resinator Wood fingerboard.
Two Lundgren Design Alnico humbuckers together with the 3-way circuit with additional coil split provide versatile guitar sounds.
Flexible pickup setup
To achieve a particularly flexible sound with all-round qualities, Hagstrom equips the Ultra Max Special with two humbuckers and a flexible circuit. On the neck and bridge, Lundgren Design Alnico humbuckers provide fat sounds with an accentuated midrange spectrum and an assertive sound that convinces with a strong character. Using the coil split option via push/pull function of the tone control, additional multifaceted timbres can be called up here, which elicit the two humbuckers classically clear sounds of typical single-coil pickups to further expand the tonal palette of the Hagstrom Ultra Max Special.
With the precise 15:1 ratio, the Hagstrom Die-Cast tuners guarantee an exact and stable tuning of the Ultra Max Special.
Indestructible Hagstrom hardware
Last but not least, the Hagstrom Ultra Max Special Amaryllis FlameRed comes up with high-quality and reliable hardware equipment. The tailpiece on the body is the Hagstrom Sustain Block Tailpiece with six individual brass blocks, from which the strings are fed via the Long Travel Tune-O-Matic bridge. At the headstock, Hagstrom tuners with 15:1 ratio also promise an exact and robust tuning of the Ultra Max Special electric guitar.
