Hagstrom '67 Viking II Black
The Hagstrom Viking first saw the light of day back in 1965, quickly becoming one of their most popular models and remained in production until 1979. Since Hagstrom’s return in 2004, the Viking has made new conquests around the world and is once again one of their most popular models - with its amazing tone, playability and ravishing good looks, it’s easy to see why!
Now Hagstrom turns back time with the ‘67 Viking II, as it was originally produced during this distinctive era of rock and roll history. This Swedish pathfinder has influenced the music world (and pop culture itself) over the years and was often spotted in the hands of some of the biggest legends and forefathers of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
The new Hagstrom ’67 Viking II is equipped with a hollow-body slim-lined flame maple ply body, adjoined to a 6-in-line, bolt-on Canadian maple neck, tastefully finished off with gold hardware. The new, specially developed dual coiled Hagstrom “H-52” Mini-Humbucking pickups brings players back to the golden age of rock/pop music. These pickups capture the classic 60’s vibe and fuses them together with modern-day technology for a classic yet punchy humbucker tone. The addition of a splittable single-coil mode provides players with complete tonal flexibility. You’ll find that players can’t help falling in love all over again with this legendary guitar!
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.
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”.
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.
