The Hagstrom Tremar Super Swede P-90 was created to combine the familiar tones of a well-recognized early single coil equipped double cutaway guitar, with the deeper and richer tones that only a single cutaway guitar can offer.
This machine is a perfect compliment for those searching for the “best of both worlds”, as the Tremar Super Swede P-90 is a hybrid of both. It has a Mahogany body with carved maple top, set mahogany neck, 25.5" scale length, Graph Tech Black Tusq XL 43mm nut, Bigsby style vibrato with Roller Bridge. While the pickups are specially designed to provide a “beefed up” boutique, single coil sound, the controls have been rearranged to provide a familiarity for double cutaway players with a single master volume, and three separate tone controls for each pickup.
What was added to enable the player to achieve a variety of tones is the 6-way rotary switch. With the addition of the Tremar system and the guitars 25.5” scale length, double cutaway players will feel right at home with this single cutaway guitar, bringing them their favorite tones on tap, but providing a much deeper and detailed tone with much more sustain.
It is an awesome guitar. The sounds are a sort of hybrid between the older Gibson LP sound, but with a twangy edge you get from a Gretsch hollowbody. You also get the endless Gibsonesque sustain, but without the compressed sound when playing a modern LP clean.
That vibrato is not a Bigsby knockoff, it is the Bigsby 2.0, enhanced in every way. The pickup selector switch is a well thought out solution for getting 6 pickup configurations without resorting to a Fender style toggle switch.
