SWEDE vs SUPER SWEDE | Hagstrom comparison 

Thanks man!

Thank you, the Swede is definitely closer to Les Paul specs of the two with the shorter scale. The main differences between a Les Paul and the Swede are the body shape is slightly different, this guitar has two strap pins at the base, the bridges are different and the frets Hagstrom use have a rounder crown than Gibson use in my playing experience, which is probably one of the bigger differences. Its hard to make a recommendation as to which to get but hopefully that might help your decision, I would say in terms of tones they cover and the ‘job’ they do they’re pretty similar

Thanks mate 🎸

Thanks for the intelligent articulate review. I would say that the Fender Gibson scale length thing isn’t exactly correct. Both companies have made guitars of various scale lengths and still do. I would like to know if the longer neck model has neck dive? It’s a big issue for me. If anyone knows I’d be grateful for a reply. Thanks.

Thank you, I’m afraid I don’t have exact measurements as both guitars have gone back now. It’s not a huge difference between the two, but definitely noticeable higher up the neck

@@jamesfranklandguitar Thanx a lot for your reply. What do you think about the build quality of this new Swede vs the previous generation with the tone toggle and the fleur de lis headstock?

Thank you, to my knowledge all Hagstroms are made in china at the moment

@jamesfranklandguitar Ty for your response. Honestly the question is the quality control any good ..?

​​@@ppg19782two weeks ago i bought a super swede at a local dealer. He had nice color choices and i played both swede and super swede. The quality is excellent! Yes, made in China. But its 100% no Crap, its build supervised by Hagstrom - not as "OEM" white label guitars produced by Cor-Tek and sold as PRS SE, Ibanez or Shecters, ...
