The Hagstrom Alvar is the smaller brother of the Hagstrom
Viking. This semi-hollow bodied instrument in its petite body size,
will be a perfect match for players searching for a semi-hollow in
a smaller compact form. While it shares so many elements of its
larger bodied sibling, the Alvar is a reigning force despite its
diminutive proportions and elements. Sturdy, focused and resistant
to feedback at high volumes and excessive gain, this guitar reacts
and steps up to the task required. It is surprisingly capable of
delivering an onslaught of destruction, taking players by pleasant
surprise, with all of the power and might that this little beast
can dish out. It's sleek and slim multi-ply maple body and set
maple neck, are key to delivering its sharp attack and long
sustain. The dually equipped Hagstrom HJ-50 humbucking pickups
transform this cool cat into a raging beast at the flick of a
switch.
