Find The Fantomen on Stage with Ghost!

When the Hagstrom Fantomen made its debut in 2016, it immediately captured attention as the result of a collaboration with the Swedish band "Ghost." Since its release, numerous players have been enamored not only by the Fantomen's striking design but also its effortless playability and diverse tonal capabilities.

Introducing the Fantomen Custom, a proud addition to the Hagstrom lineup crafted in collaboration with the "Ghost team" to offer unique customizations to this visually striking model. Constructed with a three-piece maple neck-thru design complemented by African Mahogany "wings," the Fantomen Custom delivers a distinctive growling tone with a sharp bite.

Built for durability and comfort, a robust "volute" provides tour-worthy strength to support the angled reversed Hagstrom headstock. Featuring Graphtech's Black Tusq nut and innovative Ratio rear-locking tuners adorned with recognizable Hagstrom tuning knobs, this 6-stringed powerhouse ensures accurate and precise tuning. Illuminated glow-in-the-dark side dot inlays on its ebony dressed bound fretboard with eerie green glow assist players on even the darkest stages.

Facilitating access to the highest frets during spirited solos, the deep recessed cutaway on the lower horn is paired with Schaller's STM bridge and roller-equipped saddles, along with a Schaller stop tailpiece, to transmit tone directly from the combined maple and mahogany body. Ghost's signature Lundgren Design pickups play a pivotal role in shaping the instrument's tone, with the Lundgren Design No.2 (Alnico 2) neck pickup and No.5 (Alnico 5) bridge pickup offering independently splitable humbuckers for a versatile range of monstrous tones.

The Fantomen Custom is engineered to deliver a relentless and robust resonance, devoid of any compromise in density for an uncompromising tone. These guitars are crafted for those with a fierce spirit, as their punishing tone, remarkable sustain, and unwavering stability are tailored to howl night after night.

All Hagstrom electric guitars and basses feature the patented H-Expander truss rod, ensuring tension throughout the neck for ultimate stability and facilitating a low action and slim neck profile, contributing to Hagstrom's reputation as the world's fastest-playing guitar. The H-Expander truss rod not only enhances neck stability but also adds to Hagstrom's distinctive sonic characteristics, including longer sustain and a rounded attack.

Collaborating with Swedish pickup guru Johan Lundgren, designer of pickups favored by artists like Meshuggah's Martin Hagström, Hagstrom ensures that the Fantomen Custom's Lundgren pickups cover a wide expressive range, from smooth, warm tones to aggressive attack and intense dynamic output, meeting the demands of diverse musical styles with ease.
