The invasion has begun. A Hagstrom Viking guitar is an axe which will help you do battle on any stage. Featuring a wealth of finely forged components to help it deliver a pummelling – yet refined – sound youll be set to conquer the guitar like never before. The HJ50 humbucking pickups will deliver your sound with an impact more powerful than the Hammer of Thor – theyre crisp defined and dynamic without being too hot. A Canadian hard maple fretboard gives you leeway to play all your riffs with ease all the way along the fretboard. And a Resinator fretboard offers more stability and reliability compared to regular woods as well as tremendous playability. Youll feel liberated when you play this mighty instrument which was designed to take your playing to new heights. Fearsome tone Like true warriors. The pickups on this beauty can handle anything which is thrown at them from blues to rock and metal. They have a high enough output to sound crunchy and saturated with distortion but theyre also moderate enough to handle clean settings. The bridge pickup is tight and punchy giving your riffs a big bold booming sound which sings through the mix. Select the neck pickup and youll unlock a waterfall of lusciously smooth rich tone which will make string bends scream and chords deep and full. Armed with these pickups youll be able to give your riffs a new edge and theyre sure to sound better than ever before. The unmistakable semi-hollow sound It chimes like a bell. The semi-hollow body of the Hagstrom Viking gives it a loud proud voicing with a superb resonance. Two carved f holes add a beautiful aesthetic whilst the body itself rings out with an unmistakable warmth and vibrance. It also provides strong sustain to help you extend your notes out and make each string bend shine. Thats all in addition to it looking absolutely stunning. Play to perfection Smooth sailing. The combination of a Resinator wood fretboard and Canadian hard maple neck makes for a flawless playing experience. The resonator fretboard is incredibly stable with bright punchy tone similar to ebony. This helps to add detail to each note you play and make it more prominent. The neck also has a bright resonance whilst being more than smooth enough to allow your hand fluid manoeuvrability across the entire fretboard. Youll play tighter and cleaner than ever before.
