HAGSTROM Electric Guitar, Ultra Max Special, Beryl Flame

The Ultra Max shares the same compact body concept as the Ultra Swede, although the mahogany body is slightly larger and features a strong top made of carved maple. A mahogany neck is glued into this body using a long mortise and tenon joint system. Its scale length is 25.50", the H-Expander™ truss rod is also present, and the fretboard is made of our trusty Resinator™. The slim and "ultra-comfortable “fast neck” is only completed in this special version by the Lundgren Design Humbucker Duo, which has been road-proven for more than a tour and is numbered No. 02 at the neck and No. 05 at the bridge. This combination, first introduced in the now also rightfully sought after Fantomen, provides an unparalleled sound experience and delivers everything from sparkling clean sounds in split mode to the fattest riff attacks and “cut through the mix” lead overdrive tones.

Each pickup has a separate volume control with an R/C circuit, making it easy to adjust clean sound variations. The master tone control contains a push/pull switch for quick selection of fat humbucker and pristine clean single-coil sounds. The Ultra Max not only offers the power, long sustain, and lightning-fast response of the Ultra Swede, but also a fresh vocabulary of sounds with more flexibility and, thanks to the compact body, a comfortable playing culture. With its longer 25.50" scale length, the Ultra Max is also suitable for "drop" tunings.

Guitarists looking for a slim body and a sizzling sound will certainly get their money's worth here. The Ultra Max Special Flame is available in three gorgeous-flame maple top finishes: Antique Flame, Beryl Flame and Amaryllis Flame. Given the features mentioned above, it's hard to believe the surprising price level of these guitars. Nevertheless, they are fully-fledged Hagstrom instruments that can be played for hours with full commitment. Discover the new Hagstrom Ultra Max at your trusted Hagstrom dealer.
