Right next to its solid body siblings Swede and Super Swede, the Viking is the undisputed all-time classic of the Hagstrom guitar range. Being the proverbial best-seller, it is simply one of the finest and affordable semi-hollow guitars in its genre and the marketplace. The meticulous craftsmanship with press laminated maple body, solid centerpiece sustain block and a set neck made from hard maple churns out sounds as diverse as they come. The prominent, yet not-too-hot output of the HJ50 humbuckers, delivers a sonic palette as broad as blues, rock, jazz fusion or '60s Beat. You can even take it on a shred spin.
