Hey, may I ask whether this guitar and its pickups are also good for downtuned metal? I'm looking for a secondary 6 string for songs in C-standard, mostly doomy or death metal, since I usually play 7 strings, and I wanted to try something new
I’d probably recommend the super Swede over this as it has the longer scale length so would be potentially better suited to drop tunings, the bridge pickup is also higher output there too 🎸
For doom and stoner metal the short scale length of the Swede is ideal. The looser string tension enhances the heavy, droning sound typical of these genres. Many doom bands favor Gibson guitars for their shorter scale length. On the other hand, for death metal, a longer scale length is preferable. The Super Swede guitar, with its extended scale, would be a better fit for this genre.
Everything about this guitar speaks to me. Living in the USA. Not friendly to this brand at all. Whatever amp/verbs and delays set up you’re using???,, It’s heavenly. This is what a guitar is supposed to sound like. Hope I can score one. Cheers.
Hey sorry for the slow reply, the tones on this video were a mixture of the Victory V40 with delay and reverb added in logic, or the Nolly Archetype by GGD 🎸
Interesting comment about the neck shape - I found the neck shape on the Mk3 to be *very* different to how my 2007 Swede feels. Narrower, thicker and rounder. I'm not super pleased they changed it to be honest.
Definitely looks like it would be a tough choice between the two versions, looking forward to seeing the side by side comparison!
Thanks for the video, I just may have to try one!

I think Thomann will ship to the US. No idea what that might add to the price tag ...
@@jamesfranklandguitar Rocktown music sells Hagstrom over in the US.

So it’s a Gibson copy then!
Similar yes, but not priced just for the name on the headstock.
