UTILIZATION

hag of the handle has a great reputation. Personal love. comfortable and encouraging speed. the truss road H Expender handle allows for fairly flat.

Ergonomics at:
I say pay attention to weight. is the need to keep the granny!
access to sharp falls far short of that of an SG. we can not ask the impossible non-plus.

Electronics (knobs and switches) is cheap but it is less intrusive than a bad violin.
we obtain easily that his wishes

SOUNDS

the sound is very good. built for the Blues-Rock
This is very typical "vintage". But there is a little something more specific to micro hag. it is hot, very low fat but pretty accurate. attention to large satutarion. it with tube amps it expresses its potntiel.

The 3-position toggle "sound filter" is not very usable. Too bad the idea is good though.

I play with Randall RG50 amp tube, a chorus, a wah-wah cry baby 535Q.

OVERALL OPINION

Since I have my swede, I became a fan Hag. Now I have the Viking and I do not stop there ... Hagstrom is a great violin. that means you can easily upgrade (for those who wish). Hagstrom is also specificities (the shaft, microphones ,...)

the swede is racy, type, character. I think it's not an example of versatility, but if it is doing anyway. if you want more off-road, put it like microphones sh2 sh4 and voila ...
with the experience I resumed my eyes closed. Excellent value for money.
