Description

Hagstrom built the Super Viking as a continuation of the Viking semi-hollow platform, incorporating elements drawn from the company's Super Swede model. Within the Hagstrom line it represented a convergence of two distinct lineages, marrying the semi-hollow construction of the Viking series with hardware and feature choices associated with the Super Swede.

The body is semi-hollow with a contoured top, fitted with a set neck made from Resinator™ material and stabilised by Hagstrom's H-Expander™ truss rod system. The 25.5" (648 mm) scale runs across 22 medium jumbo frets on a 15" radius board inlaid with pearl block markers. Nut duties fall to a GraphTech Black Tusq XL unit at 43 mm width. Two Custom HJ-50'C pickups feed a 3-way toggle selector, with independent volume and tone controls for each pickup; both tone pots incorporate push/pull coil-split switching. The bridge is a long-travel tune-o-matic paired with a Hagstrom trapeze tailpiece, and the instrument ships strung with D'Addario EXP 110 (10–46). Tuning machines are Hagstrom's own 18:1 ratio design. Compatible optional protection is the C55 case or E25 bag.

Owners seeking setup adjustments, fret work, or compatible replacement parts — including tune-o-matic saddles, GraphTech Tusq XL nuts at 43 mm, or trapeze tailpiece hardware — should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with semi-hollow instruments.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
