Description

Hagstrom built the Viking II as one of its flagship hollow-body electrics, positioning it as a continuation of the Viking line that ran from 1965 through 1979. Following Hagstrom's return to the international market in 2004, the Viking was reintroduced and the VIK67-G-BLK-U represents that revived production, finished in Black Gloss.

The body is a hollow double-cutaway construction in 5-ply Canadian Flame Maple Ply with multi-ply binding and f-holes. The neck is a bolt-on Canadian Hard Maple unit fitted with Hagstrom's H-Expander™ truss rod system. The Resinator™ fingerboard runs a 24.56" (624 mm) scale with 22 medium-jumbo frets at a 15" radius, pearloid block inlays, and a 43 mm Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut. Two Hagstrom H-52 AlNiCo 5 Gold Mini Humbucker pickups — each with coil-split capability — are selected via a 3-way toggle switch with gold finish, and controlled through two volume and two push/pull tone pots. The long-throw tune-o-matic bridge sits on a wood block paired with a Hagstrom trapeze tailpiece, all in gold finish. Tuning is handled by Hagstrom 18:1 chrome die-cast tuners in gold finish, and the guitar ships strung with D'Addario 10-46s. Compatible optional cases include the C55 hard case and E25 bag.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — including tune-o-matic saddles, mini-humbucker covers, or Graph Tech Tusq XL nuts — should consult the specifications above when cross-referencing aftermarket components, and bring setup or intonation work to a qualified guitar technician familiar with hollow-body 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.
