A collaboration between the design team at Hagstrom the Swedish band Ghost, Fantomen (Swedish for “The Phantom”) transports Hagstrom’s legendary playability and technical excellence into a new, edgier realm. We started with an elegantly asymmetrical solid-mahogany body to which we have joined a mahogany neck using our classic mortise-and-tenon neck joint system. Of course, since it’s a Hagstrom, the Fantomen uses our H-Expander® truss rod and Resinator® fingerboard, providing the ultimate in playing surface stability and optimal tonal enhancement. Together these components create an incredibly stable, resonant and responsive sonic foundation.
It’s funny how everyone’s comparing this guitar to explorers and firebirds, when it’s a direct rip off of the Gibson RD Artist. I have one of these beasts and I love it, very nice to play. I do like the humbuckers but it is a bit of a challenge to get them to sound tight as they are naturally rounded and warm. I find that a top boost and a compressor helps that issue.
This is a cool guitar Adam. Sounds great and with the softer corners for me, it’s definitely more aesthetically pleasing than the Explorer. 😎
Elwyn Smiles idk, i like the firebird and rd
Insane playing!!!!! Sounds so amazing, as always!!!!! Great editing skills by the way as well:) I personal love that guitar , the sounds are incredible, for me I would prefer it in a different colour but it’s still an incredible guitar!!!! Xx
It also comes with a Tusq nut too, which is really cool
Sweet, my boss ordered one of these guitars. We've been hearing about it for like, 6 months. I hope he gets it soon so it can just sit in the stack. Then we can get some peace and quiet.
haha Soon Tsuba...Soon!
There is no quieting him. No Chance
No mention that it’s ghosts signature guitar ?
Awesome riffing. Going to buy one right away
that last riff is a killer !
I have a gibson les Paul and would like to buy another guitar. Do you think that fantomen custom could be a good choice ? Thank you
Killer skills.
very cool guitar
Has Marshall stack behind him. Has Vox combo under his butt.
Plays through crap Blackstar amp (and I like Blackstars, this one is just shite).
YTHO??!
Could anyone help me out? What is the country of manufacture of this series?
Hagstrom was originally a Swedish Guitar brand. Later is was sold to US. But this particular guitar with the name "Fantomen" (Swedish). Whish means "The Phantom". Its a collaboration between the Swedish metal band Ghost and the Hagstrom designers. This guitar has been popular due to the band Ghost. The pick-ups are specially made by a Swedish pick-up maker named Lundgren. So this model is sooo Swedish.
sellammar1 it’s a Swedish company, but these are made in China.
I read that the pickups are made by "Lundgeren Company" which is situated in Sweden.
@@sellammar1 They say made in china behind the headstock.
They're made in China, but don't let that deter you. The days of China making crap products is long gone. Where are Iphones made? Where are all your TVs made? I have a Hagstrom Ultra Swede, and I like it better than the $2000 Gibson Les Paul Classic I got sitting right next to it.
Can't go wrong with Lundgren pickuos.
A tremar version might get me splashing.
Waiting to hear Ghost riffs
sounds as if it isn't grounded (the noise I mean)
When you split the coils under high gain, you hear the 60 cycle hum from the electrical outlet.
Not to expensive either.
Vidar Mathisen yeah most sig models are like $3000+. It’s nice to find a model that the actual artist uses under 1000
Amp is terrible takes away from guitar
Couldnt agree more. I know many love Blackstar but I cant stand them. Im not a fan of british amps to begin with but this is half assed example of a brit amp if ever there was one and their american sounds are more shril then even the brits on the clean end. The distortion sounds like a pillow has been thrown in front of the amp anytime you kick on distortion on a blackstar. Just shit through and through.
need to use a better amp
Gasoline!
It has this new Metallica sound which i hate.Bass and mids with zero compression.I woud switch the pickups.
Made in China!
Does it really matter? From the Hagströms i’ve played, i can say that they feel, play and sound fantastic.
@@xijinvegg They need to improve their craftsmanship and QC. I have briefly played one (wanted to buy) but it just felt a bit cheap. Personal opinion of course.
@@Ianews1 might also just be a bad specimen. Have played many bad Gibsons aswell...
@@xijinvegg I would say walking up to the guitar it is the best looking guitar in the world. Even the tuning pegs look like something Tesla (the guy) would use!
These days manufacturing is actually back in Sweden.
Those pickups suck.
Several other vids showing the guitar sounding good. The mistake was using a little 5 watt combo amp.
