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.
