Description

Hagstrom built the Super Viking as a continuation of the Viking semi-hollow platform, incorporating features drawn from the company's Super Swede model into that established body format. Within Hagstrom's electric guitar line, the Super Viking occupied a position that bridged the Viking's semi-hollow character with construction and hardware details associated with the Super Swede.

The guitar is built around a semi-hollow body with a contoured top and a set neck. The neck employs Hagstrom's H-Expander™ truss rod system and is fretted with 22 medium-jumbo frets over a 15" radius fingerboard made from Resinator™, with pearl block inlays. The nut is a GraphTech Black Tusq XL unit measuring 43 mm in width. At 25.5" (648 mm), the scale length is on the longer end of the semi-hollow spectrum. Two Custom HJ-50'C pickups are selected via a 3-way toggle switch, with individual volume and tone controls for each pickup; the tone controls incorporate a push/pull function that splits the coils. The bridge is a Long Travel Tune-O-Matic paired with a Hagstrom trapeze tailpiece, and tuning is handled by Hagstrom Design 18:1 ratio machines. The guitar shipped strung with D'Addario EXP 110 (10–46). A hardshell case (C55) and a gig bag (E25) were offered as optional accessories.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — particularly for the trapeze tailpiece, Tune-O-Matic bridge saddles, or GraphTech nut — should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician, as fitting tolerances on semi-hollow instruments can vary and professional assessment will help ensure correct compatibility.

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.
