Full Description
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 they’re 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 you’ll unlock a waterfall of lusciously smooth, rich tone, which will make string bends scream and chords deep and full. Armed with these pickups, you’ll be able to give your riffs a new edge, and they’re 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. That’s 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. You’ll play tighter and cleaner than ever before.
