Powerful sound for true heroes of rock. The Krona was developed for players who want fast attack, rich sound, and innovative design with first-class workmanship.
The single-cutaway body and beautifully shaped top set the tone visually, while the sonic heart of the Krona lies in its select materials: a mahogany body, a Canadian maple top with flamed maple veneer, and a Canadian maple neck with a mortise-and-tenon neck joint. This mix of tonewoods creates the perfect foundation for powerful warmth, power, and sustain.
The Krona features two newly developed HAGSTROM pickups: the Agent-X in the neck position delivers precise articulation and clarity, while the Penetrator in the bridge position provides aggressive sounds with high output. Both are equipped with AlNiCo 5 magnets, and each tone control activates coil splitting, allowing quick access to single-coil sounds when needed.

All Hagstrom electric guitars and basses include our patented H-Expander™ truss rod design. Introduced with the new Swede and Super Swede models and coupled with a dual action truss rod, making adjustments even more accurate, it is fit for a whole new generation of players while retaining Hagstrom’s reputation as the world’s fastest playing guitar. The H-Expander™ truss rod not only provides ultimate neck adjust- and 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.
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 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.
