With the Megin, Hagstrom offers an electric guitar with a strong identity, designed to combine bold aesthetics and playing efficiency. Its double cutaway format and Aged Sky Blue finish clearly place it in a modern approach: a guitar made to stand out, but above all to deliver a solid and inspiring sound, repetition after repetition, concert after concert.
The Hagstrom Megin is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a versatile electric guitar, comfortable in both rhythm and solo playing. The two humbuckers make it particularly suitable for rock, hard rock, powerful blues, and any genre requiring a dense sound, good gain reserve, and harmonics that are easy to bring out. Its ergonomics and access to high notes also make it an excellent base for lead lines and big bends.
The mahogany body provides a rich response in the low mids, with a sense of substance and natural sustain. The mahogany set neck reinforces this vibrational continuity: notes hold, chords remain full, and the instrument maintains great coherence across the entire neck. On the amplification side, the pair of Custom 62 Humbuckers covers a wide spectrum: the neck pickup (medium output) favors round and singing tones, while the bridge pickup (high output) pushes attack and presence for incisive riffs and solos that cut through the mix. The 3-position selector and volume and tone controls allow you to get straight to the point, quickly.
The guitar comes factory-strung with D'Addario 10-46: if you want to maintain the same balance of tension and response, a set of 10-46 strings is the safest and most coherent choice. For other accessories (gig bag/case), compatibility depends on the exact body dimensions: prioritize trying it out or choosing a model specifically designed for this format.
