Hagstrom Ultra Max – Dark Storm – B Stock

B-STOCK Hagstrom Ultra Max – Dark Storm finish. A great opportunity to buy an ultra max, new, at a great price! This Hagstrom is new but has a minor cosmetic flaw. Around the machine posts, the lacquer is discoloured. It’s hard to see in the pictures and to be fair, in person too, but we have tried to show the flaw as best we can. Please feel free to contact us for any further information.

The Ultra Max shares the same smaller concept of the Ultra Swede, but 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 25.5” scale length, naturally featuring Hagstrom’s H-Expander™ truss-rod and Resinator™ fingerboard. Its sleek and ultra-comfortable fast neck is paralleled with a pair of Custom 60 Alnico-5 pickups with eloquent Aluminium brushed covers, delivering a cutting voice that this instrument demands.

Each of the Ultra Max’s specially wound Custom 60 humbucking pickups utilises Nylon coated wire paired with an Alnico 5 magnet (unmistakably familiar to the Custom 58). However, the Custom 60 packs a mightier punch and a hotter sizzle compared to the vintage-voiced Custom 58.

Each pickup is controlled via an independent volume control featuring Hagstrom’s standard R/C circuit for cleaner tones. A single master tone control features a dual coil-split, using a push/pull configuration allowing players to switch between full humbucker to spanky single coil tones in a heartbeat.

The Ultra Max combines the power, sustain, clarity and attack of the Ultra Swede with an updated tonal pallet and additional flexibility, comfort and playability. With its longer 25.5” scale length, the Ultra Max also handles drop tunings with ease.
