Hagstrom built the Viking Deluxe 12-String as part of its Viking semi-hollow line, positioning the model as a full-featured 12-string electric with a maple body and maple neck throughout. The instrument carried Hagstrom's standard platform of the H-Expander™ truss rod and Resinator™ fretboard, both of which Hagstrom credited with acoustically balancing the octave strings against the fuller standard strings.
The body is semi-hollow with a contoured top, and the neck is set into the body. The 24.75" (628 mm) scale runs to 22 medium jumbo frets over a 15" radius Resinator™ fretboard with pearl block inlays. The nut is a GraphTech Black Tusq XL at 45 mm wide. Two H-50 humbucking pickups, voiced specifically for this 12-string model, are selected via a 3-way toggle switch and governed by two volume and two tone controls. The bridge is a Long Travel Tune-O-Matic paired with a Hagstrom stop tail, and the tuning keys are Hagstrom's own 18:1 ratio design — a ratio that reflects the additional tension demands of a 12-string headstock. The guitar shipped strung with D'Addario EXL 150 strings. Compatible optional cases and bags were designated C-55 and GigB-41 respectively.
Owners requiring setup work, intonation adjustment on the Long Travel Tune-O-Matic, or sourcing of compatible replacement parts should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with semi-hollow 12-string instruments.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
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.
Owner photos
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.
