Hagstrom Fantomen White LH Left-Handed Electric Guitar

Allmänt

In collaboration with Swedish metal royalty, Ghost, Hagstrom developed the fresh Fantomen solid-body. The looks and sound of this lefty-edition electric offset perfectly echo the dark heaviness of the band. The considerably large mahogany body and irksome, upside down head are typical Hagstrom quirks and, because this is a Hagstrom model, the guitar retains perfect balance. The glued neck has also been shaped using mahogany and is supported by a fretboard made of resinator. Resinator is a further developed version of ebonol which faithfully mimics the sound of ebony.

The Fantomen LH: Speed and Flexibility

The tight 25.5-inch scale length and 15-inch fretboard radius have a direct effect on the level of comfort, speed and agility that can be reached when playing this instrument. A classic stoptail tailpiece is mounted and couples with the Longtravel T-O-M bridge to add a layer of extra sustain and, along with the scale length, give the Fantomen a richly defined foundation sound. Both passive humbuckers were designed by none other than John Lundgren; also famous for designing pickups for Meshuggah. A No. 2 humbucker sits at the neck and a No. 5 at the bridge and together, they produce solid distortions and sweet, warm cleans to support thick riffs and highly dynamic leads
