Hagstrom - Krona 7 Burnt Blood

The Hagstrom Krona 7 Burnt Blood gives guitarists an extra string to explore ideas that don’t always fit on a 6-string guitar. In the lower registers, riffs gain more body and chords can take on a new depth, without forcing you to completely rethink your playing style. The seventh string thus becomes a genuine compositional tool: it can thicken a rhythm section, support a more melodic part or add a low note that completely changes the feel of a passage. For guitarists accustomed to low tunings or heavy tones, it naturally opens up new possibilities.

Its character isn’t limited to heavy rhythms, however. The Agent-X-7 and Penetrator-7 humbuckers provide enough presence to bring out the attack and ensure the parts played remain clear, even when the sound is heavily distorted. Splitting the two tone controls adds another option when you want to lighten the sound and achieve a clearer expression. This allows you to switch from a dense sound to support a rhythm section to a more nuanced approach when the track leaves more room for individual notes.

The Krona 7 Burnt Blood also has a visual personality that matches its sonic character perfectly. Its dark red finish gives the Single Cut silhouette a distinct identity, with an aesthetic that will easily fit into a rock or metal setting. Hagstrom retains its signature features with the Resinator™ fretboard and the H-Expander™ system, which contribute to the instrument’s playing feel and stability. A guitar designed for those who want to explore the low register as a new musical colour, rather than simply as an extra string.
