Hagstrom Super Viking Electric Guitar Semi-Hollow Left Handed Wild Cherry Transparent w/ Hardcase
Product
Information:
Versatile tone, incredible
playability, and sleek looks have powered the Hagstrom Viking to its
commanding position in the in the semi-hollow body guitar world. 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 colours.
SUPER VIKING STANDARDS:
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.
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.
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
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.
