Hagstrom Krona 7-String Electric Guitar - Burnt Blood Finish

Introducing the Hagstrom Krona. As Hagstrom enters its second century, Krona reflects a forward-looking approach to design while remaining grounded in the core principles that have defined the Hagstrom brand for generations. It’s a modern instrument with a clear identity. Built for players who value feel, tone, and reliability.

KRONA STANDARD 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.
   
• 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
   
• 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".
   
• Hagstrom Machine Heads
  A variety of Hagstrom instruments include 19:1 gear ratio locking machine heads based on our own distinct innovations to enable highly accurate tuning, fewer wraps around the tuning post, and hence faster string changes.
   
• Stainless Steel Fret Material
  While the construction process may take a bit more time and effort, we firmly believe that shortcuts aren't an option when aiming for excellence. That's why we use stainless steel frets, which guarantee a hassle-free lifetime of performance, optimal intonation, and smooth playability. These frets also enhance sustain, clarity, and provide an increased attack. Not to mention, they are perfect for players with nickel allergies, making them a top choice!
