Description

Hagstrom built the Super Viking as a development of the Viking semi-hollow platform, incorporating elements drawn from the Super Swede model into that existing architecture. Within Hagstrom's line it occupied the intersection of the two lineages, offering the semi-hollow body format of the Viking alongside construction and hardware choices associated with the Super Swede.

The body is semi-hollow with a contoured top and is joined to the neck via a set neck joint. The neck is fitted with a GraphTech Black Tusq XL nut at 43 mm width and carries a 15-inch radius Resinator fingerboard with pearl block inlays across 22 medium jumbo frets at a 25.5-inch (648 mm) scale length. Hagstrom's H-Expander truss rod runs through the neck. Two Custom HJ-50'C pickups are selected by a 3-way toggle switch; each pickup has its own volume and tone control, and each tone control incorporates a push/pull coil-split function. The bridge is a long-travel tune-o-matic paired with a Hagstrom trapeze tailpiece, and tuning is handled by Hagstrom Design machine heads at an 18:1 ratio. The guitar was strung with D'Addario EXP 110 (10–46) strings. Compatible optional cases and bags were catalogued under references C55 and E25 respectively.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — including the GraphTech Black Tusq XL nut, tune-o-matic saddles, or trapeze tailpiece hardware — should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician to confirm compatibility before fitting.

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.

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.
