Product Detail
Since the 2007 launch of the highly successful Hagstrom Ultra Swede, guitarists worldwide have been amazed by this instrument. It offers top - notch performance and sound at an affordable price. Over time, Hagstrom's designers delved into the Ultra Swede details and created the 'Ultra Max'. Like the Ultra Swede, it has a small body, but with a slightly larger mahogany body and a thick custom - carved flame maple top. The mahogany set neck is joined using a mortise and tenon joint with a 25.50” scale length. It features our H - Expander™ truss - rod and Resinator™ fingerboard. The sleek and ultra - comfortable fast neck pairs with Custom 60 Alnico - 5 pickups in brushed aluminum covers, delivering a sharp sound. Each Custom 60 humbucking pickup uses nylon - coated wire and an Alnico 5 magnet. Compared to the vintage - voiced Custom 58, the Custom 60 packs a stronger punch. Each pickup has its own volume pot with an R/C circuit for cleaner tones. The single Master Tone has a dual - coil split, allowing quick switching from full humbucker to single - coil sound. The Ultra Max combines the power, long sustain, clarity, and attack of the Ultra Swede, offering a new tonal range, flexibility, and comfortable playability in a compact body. Features include a single cutaway mahogany body with a custom - carved flame maple top, white pearloid binding, a set mahogany neck with a slim 'D' profile, H - Expander™ truss rod, Resinator™ fingerboard, pearloid block inlays, 22 medium jumbo frets, a GraphTech Black Tusq nut, 2x Custom 60 AlNiCo - 5 Humbucker pickups, a 3 - way toggle switch, 2x volume controls with R/C circuits, 1x tone control with push - pull coil split, a long - travel Tune - O - Matic bridge, a Hagstrom Sustain Block™ tailpiece, and Hagstrom 15:1 diecast tuning machines.
Using Your Hagstrom ULMAX - FSY UltraMax Electric Guitar: Plug in your guitar to an amplifier using a standard instrument cable. Use the 3 - way toggle switch to select between different pickup combinations for various tones. Adjust the volume controls for each pickup to your liking. You can fine - tune the cleaner tones by slightly turning the volume pots with the R/C circuit. The Master Tone control with the push - pull coil split lets you switch between full humbucker and single - coil sounds. For tuning, use the Hagstrom 15:1 diecast tuning machines. Keep your guitar in a suitable case when not in use to protect it from dust and physical damage. Wipe the body and strings with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and dirt. Check the truss rod periodically, but only make adjustments if you notice significant changes in the neck curvature. If you're not sure, it's best to consult a professional guitar technician. When changing strings, use the Tune - O - Matic bridge and Hagstrom Sustain Block™ tailpiece correctly to ensure proper intonation and sustain.
