A collaboration between the design team at Hagstrom and Papa Emeritus and the Ghouls of the band Ghost, Fantomen (Swedish for The Fantom) transports Hagstroms Legendary playability and technical excellence into a new, edgier realm. Hagstrom'started with an elegantly asymmetrical solid-mahogany body to which they have joined a mahogany neck using our classic mortise-and-tenon neck joint system. Of course, since it's a Hagstrom, the Fantomen uses their 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. With a relatively thin 1¼ (3.5cm) body, the Fantomen is beautifully balanced and surprisingly lightweight. A 25.5 (648mm) scale provides a slightly sharper attack amd more sustain than classic 24.75 scale guitars. A neck joint design that provides total, unrestricted access to all 22 frets will meet the needs of even the most virtuosic player. Hagstroms goal was to equip the Fantomen with electronics that would allow for a varied tonal pallet ranging from classic, vintage colors to screaming metallic brilliance. They worked with Swedish pickup guru Johan Lundgren, designer of pickup'sused by artists such as Meshuggahs Martin Hagstrom (no relation!). Lundgren recommended two different humbucker designs: No. 2 in the neck position and No. 5 in the bridge position. The result covers an immense expressive range; from smooth, warm tones to the kind of attack and intense dynamic output that would satisfy the demands of even the most extreme musical styles. Each pickup can be split to single-coil mode by means of push/pull switches incorporated into the tone controls for even more sonic flexibility. This guitar speaks with many distinct voices. All Hagstrom electric guitars and basses include their patented H-Expander truss rod. Providing tension at both ends and running the entire length of the neck, t
