The Hagstrom Alvar is a light and nimble semi-hollow guitar that blends a modern attitude with classic aesthetics. Its the smaller brother of Hagstroms Viking series designed to offer the same resonant and sweet semi-acoustic tones but with a much more agile feel from its petite body. Powering those tones is a ply-maple top for focus and projection and a pair of Hagstrom HJ-50 alnico V humbuckers for warm full-bodied sonics. Theyve got plenty of output for overdriven crunch and a precise articulation for defined cleans allowing them to adapt to any genre of your choosing. And whatever you want to play the Alvar has you covered. Its set-in mahogany neck is slim and comfortable while its fingerboard has Hagstroms own Resinator wood for a more open attack with improved sustain. Combined with a TOM bridge with stop bar tailpiece and Hagstrom designed tuning machines youll enjoy a stable tuning and accurate intonation every time you pick it up. The result is an instrument that plays like a dream in any musical situation. And to top it all off the Alvar looks as great as it sounds; its unique pickguard design and chrome accents are sure to stand out on any stage.
Powerful Hagstrom humbuckers The Hagstrom Alvar is equipped with two powerful Hagstrom HJ-50 humbucker pickups each with chrome-plated covers. These pickups deliver warm and rich tones that are perfect for a range of musical genres from blues to jazz to rock. The Alvars long travel Tune-O-Matic bridge and Hagstrom trapeze tailpiece provide excellent tuning stability and sustain ensuring that these humbuckers can truly shine. Whether youre playing rhythm guitar or lead the combination of the Alvars humbuckers and hardware make for an unbeatable playing experience. Resonant semi-hollow body The Hagstrom Alvar features a semi-hollow body design made of Ply Maple which provides a resonant and rich sound. The contoured top adds to the guitars overall aesthetic giving it a sleek and modern look that stands out on stage. This semi-hollow body not only enhances the tone of the guitar but also reduces its overall weight making it easier to play for extended periods of time.
