Hagstrom Krona 7 Burnt Blood – Seven Strings of Aggressive Power and Modern Precision
The Hagstrom Krona 7 marks a significant milestone as Hagstrom’s first-ever seven-string electric guitar. Designed for players who demand extended-range authority, crushing low-end clarity, and professional tonal control, the Krona 7 delivers a fearless blend of aggression, refinement, and premium craftsmanship. Its offset single-cut body and sculpted German carve create a bold visual identity, while a mahogany body paired with a Canadian maple top featuring a flame maple veneer forms a resonant and powerful tonal core. The mortise-and-tenon set neck construction in Canadian maple enhances stability, projection, and fast response across all seven strings.
Powering the Krona 7 is a pair of newly developed Hagstrom pickups engineered exclusively for this model. The Agent-X7 neck humbucker provides rich, articulate depth, ideal for complex chord voicings and smooth leads. The Penetrator-7 bridge humbucker offers high-output aggression with searing clarity, delivering tight low-end definition and cutting attack. Both feature AlNiCo 5 magnets, and each tone control includes a push-pull coil-split for immediate access to bright, single-coil textures and expanded tonal flexibility. Nickel-silver frames and backplates ensure consistent magnetic flux and precise harmonic balance at any gain level.
A 25.5” scale length provides proper string tension for the low B and maintains clarity across the extended frequency range. The newly developed Hagstrom Hardtail-7 bridge—CNC-machined from solid brass and integrated with a string-through-body design—maximizes sustain, resonance, and tonal depth. Stainless steel jumbo frets contribute exceptional durability and a smooth, responsive playing feel, making the Krona 7 ideal for both modern technical styles and heavy riff-driven playing. Completing the hardware, Hagstrom locking tuners with a 19:1 gear ratio deliver rock-solid tuning stability and fast string changes on stage or in the studio.
