The Hagstrom Ultra Max – here presented in Fall Sky Satin – features a familiar silhouette, disguising a slightly bigger body and longer scale length than the Ultra Swede itβs based on. Perfect for down-tuning, the Ultra Max is fitted with specially wound Custom 60 humbucking pickups. Featuring Alnico 5 magnets, these pickups are hotter and pack a bigger punch than vintage Custom 58βs.
As with every instrument we sell, your new Hagstrom Ultra Max will get a rigorous check over and professional set up before it leaves our Glasgow shop. We ship fast to the UK, Europe and worldwide.
Hagstrom Ultra Max Fall Sky Satin
The Ultra Max shares the same small body concept of the Ultra Swede, yet with a slightly larger proportioned mahogany body topped with a thick custom carved flame maple top. The body joins to a mahogany set neck utilising a mortise and tenon neck joint with a 25.50β scale length, which naturally features Hagstromβs H-Expanderβ’ truss-rod and Resinatorβ’ fingerboard. Its sleek and βultra-comfortable fast neckβ is paralleled with Custom 60 Alnico-5 pickups with their eloquent Aluminium Brushed covers, delivering the cutting voice that this instrument demands.
Mighty Punch and Hot Sizzle
Each of the Ultra Maxβs specially wound Custom 60 humbucking pickups utilizes Nylon coated wire united with an Alnico 5 magnet (unmistakably familiar to the βCustom 58β). However, the Custom 60 ultimately packs a mighty punch and hot sizzle compared to the vintage voiced Custom 58. Each pickup is controlled with its own independent Volume pot featuring Hagstromβs standard R/C circuit on each potentiometer, to help focus on its cleaner tones with a slight turn of the pot. Itβs single Master Tone also features a dual coil split, using its push/pull tone configuration to allow for players to switch from βFull Humbucker Tiltβ to βSpanky Single Coil Cleanβ in a heartbeat.
Drop Tunings, Flexibilty and Playability
The Ultra Max combines all of the power, long sustain, clarity and attack, as found with the βUltra Swedeβ, yet offers players a fresh tonal pallet with additional flexibility and comfortable playability with its compact body. With its longer 25.50β scale length the Ultra Max handles drop tunings with ease, where players looking for a slightly slimmed body with a searing tone will have found their long-term mate.
