Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

Hagstrom can be really happy with Ultra Swede, because they met the needs of most of musicians: A quality instrument at a fair price. This guitar is not the best in its class, but it will serve you well, and will offer you good experience for the price paid.

Hagstrom went really far in carefully choosing Ultra Swede's features. There's little to be wished for, which makes Ultra Swede a full-featured guitar for a musician that plays a music style this instrument is primarily built for. If you decide to go for Hagstrom's Ultra Swede you will be happy with its, safe to say - rich features. A job well-done by Ultra Swede.

You can plug this baby into a toaster and, God knows, maybe it would sound as great as it does with any other amp. Seriously, Hagstrom made a Ultra Swede, a terrific sounding instrument that deserves all the praise it can get. There is simply no need to change any stock-provided parts built into this axe, as it sounds professional all the way. Hagstrom's Ultra Swede is a flawlessly sounding instrument.

Hagstrom did a good job. Ultra Swede is built well, the finish feels just right, the hardware is solid. While playing for a longer periods of time you can expect Ultra Swede to stay in tune and you will be pleased while playing, because the neck is extremely comfortable. You might find that over time metal parts will oxidize a bit, but that's normal and nothing to worry about. Hagstrom did a really good job with Ultra Swede guitar.

Playing live, Ultra Swede will perform well and will not let you down. It is fairly reliable instrument both in studio and on stage, and will be a long term companion, as it is built to last. Hagstrom has made a solid instrument that you will be happy with, and can depend on right from the start. Needs no backup as it has proven to be built really well.

One tone,one volume,coil tap and one selector switch.Very simple with few extra features.

The quality is easily compared to any fender or gibson standard models. Finish is awesome. Tuners are good,pups sound great,tone adjustment too touchy.I love the coil tap.I've owned it for a year and have never had any problems.I bought it at my local shop so they set it up and changed strings so I don't know what it was like out of the box.

I've owned a few Fender american Strats and have played several of my friends Gibson LP's. This guitar is just as good as any of those.Hagstrom Ultra Swede is probably the best value for under 500 dollars.

Overall the guitar is very good but there are a few things like the tone pot,volume and tone knobs have tarnished all ready after just one year. The feel,balance and sound is still very good.If you don't 1500 dollars to spend on a guitar then this one of your best bets. It can produce a large variety of tones so it does take a while to dial it in at first.
