Hagstrom Megin: the "magic" spirit in a modern solid-body
With the Megin, Hagstrom offers a solid-body with a strong character, combining classic lutherie (mahogany, glued neck, double cutaway) and in-house solutions that define the brand's identity. The patented H-Expander truss rod and the Resinator fingerboard reflect this goal: to provide a stable, consistent, and easy-to-adjust guitar, ready to accompany musicians on stage and in the studio. In an efficient and no-frills format, the Megin aims for a balance between versatility and personality.
For whom, and for which styles?
The Hagstrom Megin Cre is especially aimed at advanced beginner to intermediate guitarists who want an electric guitar that is easy to handle but expressive enough to grow with them. Its pair of humbuckers and glued neck construction make it an excellent candidate for rock, hard rock, powerful blues, pop, and all styles requiring a full sound with presence and sustain. The double cutaway facilitates playing high up the neck, whether for solos or enriched chords.
The sound
The mahogany body provides a warm sonic foundation, with dense mids and a naturally singing response. The Set Neck construction promotes a sense of note continuity, with sustain that highlights bends and vibrato. Regarding pickups, the Custom 62 Humbucker in the neck position (medium output) favors round and thick tones, ideal for smooth rhythms and creamy leads. At the bridge, the Custom 62 Humbucker (high output) pushes the amp harder: sharper attack, well-defined lows, and a mid-high range that easily cuts through the mix. The 3-position selector and Volume and Tone controls allow for essentials only, enabling quick adjustments during play.
Recommended compatible accessories
This guitar is delivered/setup with 10-46 gauge strings, and you can keep this gauge to maintain the same feel: electric string sets 10-46 (such as D'Addario 10-46). For comfort when playing standing up, a standard guitar strap will also be suitable.
