Hagstrom produced the Alvar (ALV-SFT-U) as part of its Alvar series, positioning it as a semi-hollow electric guitar built around a contoured top and set neck construction. The Swedish Frost finish places it within a named colour variant of the model.
The Alvar's neck is fashioned from Hagstrom's proprietary Resinator™ material and fitted with the H-Expander™ truss rod system. The 24.75" (628.65 mm) scale runs across 22 medium-jumbo frets on a 15" radius fingerboard, with pearloid block inlays marking positions. Nut duties are handled by a GraphTech Black Tusq XL unit at 43 mm width. Two Hagstrom HJ-50 AlNiCo-5 humbuckers with chrome-plated covers feed a circuit controlled by a 3-way toggle switch, two volume controls with R/C circuit, and two tone controls. The bridge is a long-travel tune-o-matic paired with a Hagstrom trapeze tailpiece. Hagstrom 18:1 ratio tuning keys handle tuning stability, and the guitar ships strung with D'Addario 10-46s. Compatible optional cases are listed as the C54 hard case and the E24 gig bag.
Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the long-travel tune-o-matic bridge accepts saddles dimensioned to that platform, and the 43 mm GraphTech Black Tusq XL nut is a catalogued GraphTech item. For setup, intonation, or hardware replacement work, a qualified guitar technician familiar with semi-hollow instruments will be best placed to assist.
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
