Hagstrom Fantomen - Demo (Feat. Ben Eller) 

I have a 1965 Hagstrom I and the 2019 Reissue of the Hagstrom III. I’m a big fan.

Korman Schiermeyer I second this comment!

Korman Schiermeyer I like to play Cirice on my acoustic

coming next week on my channel :)

you're too kind, sir!!!! When there's players out there like Brandon Ellis, Wes Hauch, Jimmy Herring, Sims Cashion, Andy Wood, and Emil Werstler, i'm not sure that what i do is up to snuff, but i'll take the praise all the same!

Dude, you are selling yourself short. Way short. Yes, those are great musicians you just listed. And there are many more, but your name is right there too. I am not easy to impress, and to cover Eddie as effortlessly and so fluently as well as your other work is just killer. I have been at this for 30 years and Uncle Ben telling me why I suck at _____________ (insert technique here) and then showing me the right way to do it has made my playing better than I could ever have done with anyone else. Perhaps my being a student has made me biased, but that is how it all shakes out to me.

Charlie Foxtrot The 3rd You know what's even better? The actual old Van Halen records. It sucks that people used to support bands by going to live shows and now they support youtubers who don't even write songs on Patreon.

My heart stopped when I saw uncle Ben

Obie gayyyy

my heart cringed when i heard him say fantomen and hagstöm

Robert Falconer You take your guitar(s) to a shop for string changes????!!!!!?!?!?!?!!!??!!!??!?

Ricardo Fernandes leave him beeeeee

Ricardo Fernandes I got into the habit of taking my guitars in every 6-12 months for string changes and set-ups. Now I never pickup a guitar that doesn’t play fantastically. Even if it is only minor tweaks to the setup when I bring it in.

Ricardo Fernandes if I broke strings with any regularity I’d still do it myself but I rarely if ever break strings

Hello can you help me ? Can you tell me the amp settings to play ghost ?

awww thanks :)

you're too kind!

You forgot that you're a simple men... ;-)

burgerlice we are all blessed to be the neices and nephews of uncle ben!

As soon as Ben started plying I hit the like button. What a cool cat!

Those are the same as "Duncan Designed" pickups, they're not actual Lundgrens. Who knows the QC and tolerance consistency? They can be winding them up in some sweatshop in Taiwan for all we know.

hahahaha that's on the director's cut, watch for it on VHS soon!

Thanks Uncle Ben, nothing I love better than a director's cut on VHS!!

thanks dude!

Gibson RD Standard

Plus it's good to see the clip locks on it which means it isn't going anywhere for now

It's "Long Train Running" by The Doobie Brothers

Greg Christensen THANK YOU!

Same here! (Am I late? ;^P. )

awwww shucks

Ben Eller Me too! Unfortunately, as I learned in math class anything multiplied by zero is zero.

RussD I feel you...

I have one, and it is amazing.

@Christian Gendics tbh mummy dust isnt even heavy tho 😭

@Christian Gendics what I am saying is that its not a heavy song

LOL! My exact thought!

@Christian Gendics MUMMY DUST is in Drop C

@@papaemeritusthe3rd318 I'm 51...I remember when "Sunshine Of Your Love" was considered heavy, then "Smoke On The Water" was considered heavy, then "Iron Man" was considered heavy, then "Rainbow In The Dark" was considered heavy, then "Black Magic" was considered heavy, then "Suffer The Children", then "Davidian" and so on and so on....it's all relative. "Mummy Dust" is considered heavy to my Aunt.

Laurence Nettel Nah the Gibson sigs ended when Alpha and Omega left, as the guitars belonged to them, not to the band

Ahh right, doesn't surprise me that they didn't keep using them though. They're over £2000 each. And according to Papa, the band wasn't 'profitable' yet :P

The OG Gibson RDs had a Fender 25.5" scale and Gibson wouldn't make them like that as well. Hagstrom has a long history of making guitars with the traditional scale and the longer scale, like the Swede and the Super Swede.

Laurence Nettel I mean under the circumanstances, I would personally shovel out money finding more RDs. I think the real issue is Simon (Alpha) and Martin (Omega) used a custom version discountinued model (RD artist), and finding one of those is utter hell. These new guitars look decent, but Ill admit ghost lacks the big punchy sound they used to have. Live it was mostly the drowned out attempts of Papa to hit high notes, and the sounds of drums layered over bass, layered over rythmn, layered over lead (in short not the sound you want

Yes I felt it similar when I saw them last. I saw them on the meliora tour and again on popestar. And the sound was noticeably different.
