Raid and pillage stages worldwide with the Viking.

The Hagstrom Viking Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar covers all genres from blues/rock to jazz/fusion and back again. With an arched semi-hollow maple body, its looks are as sweet as its tone. Two Hagstrom humbuckers, combined with the resonant semi-hollow body, provide plenty of power. And no Hagstrom is complete without their famous, fast-playing neck. The Viking has the patented H-Expander truss rod which provides tension at either end and runs the entire length of the neck. The rigid yet lightweight alloy truss rod allows for very low action and a thin set maple neck.

Another Hagstrom exclusive, the resinator fretboard is an extraordinary, homogeneous wood composite that maintains a strong fundamental harmonic and eliminates wolf tones. It offers the articulate sound of high-quality ebony but with more consistency and durability. Silky smooth, reliable, and fast.

The self-lubricating graphite composite nut is much harder than bone or plastic resulting in more string vibration through the neck. Tuning is also improved and string binding is eliminated by self-lubrication.

A long travel Tune-o-matic-style bridge and trapeze tailpiece further increase tone, sustain, and intonation quality. 18:1 gear ratio machine heads ensure fully accurate tuning.

The Viking's high-grade polyester finish is hard, smooth, and more dense than polyurethane, so its guaranteed to look great and provide excellent protection and sonic performance.

After purchasing a Viking I quickly discovered I can play things that I was struggling with on my Gibson Les Paul. The Viking sounds as good (although different) than any of my other guitars that cost 2-3 times as much. It is well made but it is also neck heavy which for me can be an irratation. It stays in tune well, plays very well, and sounds great. I wish I would have bought one of these babies a long time ago.

I owned 2 Gibson LP customs, LP standard, Sg standard, Gretsch White Falcon and now my main guitar is a USA Tele 62. I wondered a hollowbody guitar and after to compare guitars (Gibson, Gretschs...) I decided to buy this one. You can compare it with up to 2000 euros guitars and this Viking won't lose! It's really beautiful, the neck is perfect and I thank to change it the pick-ups but It sounds really good!!! Go ahead for it !!!

A very exciting guitar for the price. The tone is amazing while unplugged and the pick-ups are good. After having many guitars, this one is refreshing to play. I dont have to plug it in to enjoy playing it because it has such a great acoustic tone with decent volume. Thanks Hagstrom!

Bought my Viking in 1967 new and it still plays like it did when I bought it (41 years a go). It is not a reissue it is a original issue.

Wild Cherry, beautiful... Slapped my preferred strings on it, dropped the action just a tad and bingo. Plays like a DREAM and sounds just as awesome. Great guitar at any price.
