Hagstrom ULSWE-CBB Ultra Swede Cosmic Black Burst 2010
Up for sale is a fantastic 2010 Hagstrom ULSWE-CBB Ultra Swede, finished in the striking Cosmic Black Burst and presented in Excellent condition. Combining Hagstrom's distinctive Scandinavian styling with a fast-playing neck, versatile electronics, and plenty of vintage-inspired character, the Ultra Swede is a seriously capable instrument that offers something a little different from the usual suspects. This example has been very well cared for and remains in excellent condition, showing only light signs of careful use. The Cosmic Black Burst finish looks particularly striking, with the darker outer edges framing the body beautifully and giving the guitar a sophisticated yet unmistakably rock 'n' roll aesthetic. The Ultra Swede features a mahogany body with a carved maple top, providing a warm and resonant foundation with plenty of sustain and definition. Its compact single-cutaway design feels immediately familiar while the sculpted body remains comfortable against the player, making it equally suited to extended sessions at home, in the studio, or on stage. One of the standout features is Hagstrom's renowned Resinator fingerboard, a composite fingerboard material designed to provide exceptional stability, smoothness, and a fast, consistent playing feel. Combined with Hagstrom's slim neck profile and 24-fret layout, the Ultra Swede feels quick and effortless under the fingers while retaining plenty of room for expressive lead work. The guitar is equipped with a pair of Custom 62 humbuckers, delivering a versatile range of tones from warm, rounded cleans through to crunchy classic rock sounds and heavier, saturated overdrive. The Ultra Swede's three-way pickup selector, individual volume and tone controls, and additional coil-splitting capability give it considerably more tonal flexibility than its traditional appearance might suggest. A Tune-O-Matic-style bridge and Hagstrom tailpiece provide solid string anchoring and reliable tuning stability, while the guitar's overall construction gives it an impressive sense of sustain and resonance. Most importantly, this is an instrument that feels as good as it looks. The neck is fast and comfortable, the response is lively, and the combination of humbucking and split-coil tones makes it remarkably adaptable across a wide range of styles.
