Hagstrom Megin Electric Guitar in Black Gloss

It’s a double-cut of magic. Discover a new realm of musical enchantment with the all-new Hagstrom Megin, a guitar that transcends the ordinary and invites you into a world where tone and playability unite perfectly.

In the language of old Norse, "Megin" translates to "Magic" and this guitar lives up to its name, promising a spellbinding playing experience that captures the essence of enchantment on every stage. Crafted especially for the modern-day road warrior, the Hagstrom Megin stands as the essence of “bang for the buck,” presenting musicians with the ultimate gigging companion that never compromises quality. Take it on the road, let it seamlessly become an extension of your musical mastery, and witness the magic unfold in every note. 

This extraordinary instrument features a meticulously crafted mahogany long mortise and tenon set neck and a mahogany body, dually delivering a resonance that speaks directly to the soul of your music. Fitted with two powerful Hagstrom Custom 62 humbuckers, the Megin offers a versatile tone that effortlessly adapts to your musical journey, whether it’s weaving sweet melodies or unleashing powerful riffs. 

Designed with the touring musician in mind, the Megin is a straightforward powerhouse. Its wrap-around bridge not only enhances sustain and resonance but also channels all that string energy directly back into the instrument, unlocking the magic of its tonal qualities. All that energy contained within the body works as a perfect partner together with our Hagstrom H-Expander truss rod, where that transfer of string energy resonates from the tip of the headstock to the butt of the body to masterfully capture complete resonation throughout the entire instrument. With master volume and tone and 3-way toggle controls, simplicity reigns without sacrificing control on stage or in the studio. This is pure tone, power, and playability, the perfect ally for those who demand reliability on stage. 

To heighten the string energy and resonance to the next level, we selected a 25.5” scale length. This intentional decision not only enhances the sustain but also crafts a commanding voice that expresses unmatched clarity and precise pronunciation. Feel free to drop tune effortlessly, unleashing a growl and grunt that will undoubtedly leave your audience in awe. 

Step into a world where music transforms into magic. Embrace the enchantment with the Hagstrom Megin, your passport to a sonic realm unlike any other. As always, Hagstrom delivers another masterpiece, ensuring that every chord struck with the Megin resonates with the enticement of true craftsmanship, design, and a pure dedication to the working musician. Welcome to a new era of musical magic.

 FEATURES: 

		H-Expander All Hagstrom electric guitars and basses include our patented H-Expander™ truss rod. Providing tension at both ends and running the entire length of the neck, the rigid yet light-weight alloy truss rod allows for a very low action and thin neck, two factors that were instrumental in earning Hagstrom its reputation as the world’s fastest playing guitar. The H-Expander™ truss rod not only provides ultimate neck stability, but it also contributes to Hagstrom’s unique tone. Longer sustain and a round attack are some of the sonic characteristics the H-Expander™ adds to the tonal essence of Hagstrom.
		Hagstrom Machine Heads Hagstrom models use 18:1 or 15:1 gear ratio machine heads based on our own designs to insure accurate tuning. Viking® and HB series basses feature machine heads with a 17:1 gear ratio.
		Resinator Wood Resinator wood is a wood composite material that is both more uniform in density and more stable than any standard wood product. These characteristics eliminate dead spots or "wolf tones" sometimes associated with conventional wood fingerboards. Resinator wood has an articulate sound similar to high quality ebony, but without any of the problems associated with ebony. It provides a stable and clear tone, and also adds higher overtones and harmonics which uniquely detail each note. Like our H-Expander truss rod, Resinator wood is a major contributor to the distinctive "Hagstrom tone".
		Wrap Around Bridge The innovative wraparound bridge goes beyond mere aesthetic and mechanical features, channeling string energy through countered bridge anchors into the body for extended sustain, quick response, and resonant tones. Enhanced playing comfort meets sonic depth, shining with improved adjustability for perfect intonation.
		Set Neck Hagstrom uses a variety of different neck joints throughout our range. Our set-neck recipe is the classic and time-tested Mortise and Tenon joint, a design that most efficiently transfers string energy from neck to body, and can often only be found on more expensive custom-built guitars. A team of experienced and dedicated craftsmen hand carves every neck joint, insuring perfect execution of this traditional technique preferred by luthiers for generations.
