I'm a proud owner of a 1974 Swede Natural since.... 1974! It was the best Christmas present I have ever received and I'll never part with it.
My very first electric guitar was a 2010 Hagstrom single cut, and honsetly? outside of the really plastic feeling finish all over the neck, that thing RIPS. Sustain for days, plays super well.
I had a cherry colored one back in the 70,s, it was one of the best guitars I ever played.
Your right! Larry was the only big name at the time that played a Swede. I loved the two Swedes that I owned at the time. Both were traded for an ESP in the mid eighties. To say I regret, is an understatement to say the least. Loved your playing!
The late great Benjamin Curtis of Secret Machines and School of Seven Bells played a white Swede as his primary guitar for many years, and coaxed some incredible space rock tines from it. I'll own one someday!
Love it! I'm refurbishing a '74 Swede at the moment. I love their tone!
Great tone and playing, very tasty. Killer lick on 1.03, congrats! :-)
These are very unique guitars, very well made and wow can they shred. My son loves the one I have. I was in my teens in the 70s and always drooled over the ads for these in Guitar Player but could not afford one back then, so guess I lived long enough to overcome that issue! I like the rounded horn, much like a LP Professional, any way love mine, looks just like the one here, very easy on the eyes!
I just got myself one of these in black. Love it.

Congrats belated, especially if you got the vintage edition in black. Those black beauties are rare.
What's really *really* rare is scoring a black beauty Super Swede from between 79-82. They're impossible to find.. the guy who sold me my 1980 mahogany Super has one.. they were still calling it Swede DeLuxe and not yet Super.. so as rare as they come.
Had one in the mid 70's and yes, they were heavy if you had to stand for long periods but the sound was super.
Such beautiful guitars. If you can get your hands on one of the very rare original Super Swedes from say 79-82, they're really superb.
Bought mine new in 74. Still a player. Did some minor mods but kept all original parts if one wanted to convert back. Love mine and not for sale ...
Bob Seger played a Hagstrom Swede on the Live Bullet album. Panopticon, black metal project, also plays Hagstroms (though I'm not sure the model) for live shows.
I own a 1973 Black Swede and I love it. It's super heavy though. Much heavier than my les Paul.
Nice guitar..
i just went through my junk box and found an original hagstrom 70,s swede ! output 8.9k going in a flying V huge alnico magnet
1974's álbum "The eleventh house featuring Larry Cornell"turned me in to that guitar!Right on,no played a hablaros.This is also one of the best jazz fusion rock albums ever.Released before Jeff becks blow by blow album.Coryell shows what this guitar is about.
I don't think you can compare it against Blow by Blow, even if it they are both considered Fusion. They are very very different. Eleventh House, with it's flutes and horns and clean jazz guitar tones, sounds much more traditional than Blow by Blow, while Beck's album was more modern, and rock and funk driven.
Your guitar looks almost like mine.
My top isn't bookmatched, it's one solid top.
But the color (and everything else) seems identical.
The only thing that I'm not too crazy about is the bridge.
It's adjustable, but each saddle is separate and can be moved not only forward and back, but side to side as well.
So each saddle has 2 screws on each that have to be adjusted individually.
Usually, I like to set my intonation on my guitars, but I leave this one to someone that gets paid for the hassle.
So you have the edition from the first half of the Seventies with the rail bridge with the sliding clamp saddles. The problem with those is the limited traverse from front to back but it can be done... I have a 1975 Viking, two 1972 HIIN OT, and a 73 cherry Swede with that bridge (I also own a 1975 natural Swede and a 1980 Super Swede with the later roller bridge, which is definitely preferable and easier to intonate).
Bring it to a good tech if you're having problems still... The great thing about that earlier bridge is the side to side adjustment capacity is very unique and useful.. and it also gives of a very unique, penetrating almost sitar type sound. DON'T GIVE UP ON IT.. THEY'RE AMAZING GUITARS! 🤜🤛
Yeah. The bridge is the ONLY beef I have with the guitar. It plays and sounds great and looks good doing it too. It's definiteley one of my favorites. I have to look into the roller bridge; it sounds like a good idea and I wouldn't have to pay someone to intonate my guitar any more.
GREAT GUITAR ,BUT I SEEMS VERY GREAT IN HIS HANDS GOOD DEMO THANKS.
I think kerry livegren from Kansas played one.
Help pls, I just got a 74 swede bass what do the two switches do? & any other info to switch between pick-ups etc.. I just don't know anything about my new guitar, any help thanks.
I was trying to find out how much it's worth cause I was debating selling it to buy a fender jaguar.
+Davis Pow a vintage swede is worth $800-1200 and is likely a much better guitar than a jaguar. A new one is worth $400 used and still a better player than a jaguar, in my opinon
+Davis Pow It depends on what colour and year the guitar is, ive got a 1980 grayish purple coloured Swede and its a very rare model so ive gotten offers of around 25000 SEK ( I think thats like 3000 dollars).
Cette guitare est aussi connue pour être utilisée par le guitariste du groupe ABBA, Björn ULVAEUS !!!
What was the cost of that ? I have a 74 too I think I paid $130 used in 77 .. which was A LOT OF MONEY
The vintage Swedes can go anywhere from $800-$1,500 dollars.
what would one of these be worth today?
+Mitchel Bie there are few offers in internet around 1.100-1.300 U$ plus shipping.
misspellings by this phone
This is probably a dumb question but what are you using to sample the rhythm and play back the rhythm?
What would you appraise the price of that swede in your hands at in us currency?
you should get one for around 600 USD
@@benjaminfrey Not like that one. 10 years ago maybe. You can find a new re-issue or a vintage that someone has destroyed with boutique pickups and tuners for maybe close to that but certainly not a vintage 70's all original in that condition.
@@alizarincrimson123 you are right in perfect condition like this one you had to pay more.
can you tell what effects you have used!!???
Same question.
Klingt fast schon nach einer echten Les Paul Alternative.
I almost bought this off ebay till someone overbids the amount
super fine guitar i admit but 1.375,00 EUR? get real
It’s from the 70s. You can get a new one for $1350 Australian with a full tremar setup and split coil system on the humbucker version or a 5 way selected on the 3x p90 version which is roughly €800. I have both and highly recommend both. Although they use a cheap Jack input so I replaced mine for €5 during the set up.
