Buy Hagstrom guitars here… http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/guitar/electric/#!sort=price-desc&brand=Hagstrom The Hagstrom Viking is arguably one of their most versatile hollow bodied guitars, in style it could be aligned with the classic 335 shape produced by one of Hagstrom’s competitors although the body shape is not a direct copy.

The body is made from contoured laminate flamed Maple with a North American 22 fret hard Maple set neck and the now legendary Hagstrom “Resinator” fret board with Pearl block position markers. It also features the H-style light alloy truss rod that allows the Viking to have an ultra-thin neck and low action. At each side of the body is a single “f” style sound hole one of which is slightly covered by the black plastic floating scratch plate.

The pick up configuration utilises two Hagstrom HJ-50 hum-buckers that are also deployed on the HJ500 Jazz model, these pick-ups have a beautiful tone and can be EQ’d to suit Jazz, Blues and rock tones. The pick-ups, die-cast machine heads, tune-o-matic bridge and decorative Trapeze tail-piece are all chrome plated.

The pick-ups are managed via 2 volume and 2 tone knobs and are selected via a 3-way toggle switch that sits at the upper shoulder of the guitar adjacent to the left hand cut-away. Finished in a gorgeous Tobacco Sunburst with chrome hardware.
