Hagstrom put together some fantastic guitars. This Viking is clean and ready to roar. The tone has a nice plunk to it, lots of attack and pop when unplugged. The fully hollow construction is a nice pairing with the humbuckers when plugged in.
There is a unique wiring schematic, with a three way tone switch along with the three way pickup selector. This allows for out of phase and parallel tones. The variety of sounds really opens up with this nasally or darker settings. Plus the tailpiece and art deco tuners are super cool! Hard case included.
