Description

Resinator Wood
Resinator? wood is a wood composite material that is both more uniform in density and more stable than any standard wood product. These characteristics eliminate dead spots or "wolf tones" sometimes associated with conventional wood fingerboards. Resinator? wood has an articulate sound similar to high quality ebony, but without any of the problems associated with ebony. It provides a stable and clear tone, and also adds higher overtones and harmonics which uniquely detail each note. Like our H-Expander? truss rod, Resinator? wood is a major contributor to the distinctive "Hagstrom tone".
Hagstrom Machine Heads
Hagstrom models use 18:1 or 15:1 gear ratio machine heads based on our own designs to insure accurate tuning. Viking® and HB series basses feature machine heads with a 17:1 gear ratio.
H-Expander
All Hagstrom electric guitars and basses include our patented H-Expander? truss rod. Providing tension at both ends and running the entire length of the neck, the rigid yet light-weight alloy truss rod allows for a very low action and thin neck, two factors that were instrumental in earning Hagstrom its reputation as the world?s fastest playing guitar. The H-Expander? truss rod not only provides ultimate neck stability, but it also contributes to Hagstrom?s unique tone. Longer sustain and a round attack are some of the sonic characteristics the H-Expander? adds to the tonal essence of Hagstrom.
Set Neck
Hagstrom uses a variety of different neck joints throughout our range. Our set-neck recipe is the classic and time-tested Mortise and Tenon joint, a design that most efficiently transfers string energy from neck to body, and can often only be found on more expensive custom-built guitars. A team of experienced and dedicated craftsmen hand carves every neck joint, insuring perfect execution of this traditional technique preferred by luthiers for generations.
Trapeze Stringholder/Tailpiece
The classic Viking trapeze stringholder/-tailpiece design, is a work of art in itself. Right underneath the top part, where the two beautifully swept beams meet, it features a string claw for easy access and super comfortable string changes. Adorned with the legendary Hagstrom crest it truly is elegance defined.

The Super Viking continues in the Viking tradition by incorporating key features from Hagstrom's legendary Super Swede model into a Viking platform.

An important trait inherited from its Super Swede cousin is the Super Viking's longer, 25.5 inch (648mm) scale length. Drop tunings are a breeze with this longer scale, maintaining brilliance of attack and powerful resonance throughout the instrument as lower tonal realms are explored.

Sonic versatility is further enhanced by Hagstrom's new, open framed H-50'C humbucker pickups designed specifically for the Super Viking. Add to this mix independent switching between humbucker and single coil mode via push/pull tone pots, and the Super Viking vastly expands your tonal horizons, creating a new range of sonic worlds to ravage.

All Super Vikings feature gorgeous flamed maple bodies with block fingerboard inlays, and are available in six luscious colors

Brand

Hagström used to be a Swedish manufacturer of musical instruments. The company first distinguished itself in the production of accordions, then, from 1958 onwards, gradually moved into the manufacturing of electric guitars, an activity in which it became one of Europe's leading makers, and also one of the most innovative. From mass production in the 1960's, it evolved towards high quality manufacturing in the 1970's before having to cease its activity in 1983. The brand was re-launched in 2006 in North America at the initiative of the Canadian firm American Music & Sound (AMS), and markets guitars and basses now made in China.
