Used Hagstrom 1970 Viking I Vintage Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar

Description

The 1970 Hagstrom Viking I is a genuine vintage semi-hollow electric guitar from the original era of Swedish Hagstrom production. Known for their distinctive styling, fast-playing necks, and unmistakable European take on the classic double-cutaway semi-hollow design, vintage Vikings have developed a strong following among players and collectors looking for something outside the usual American-made choices.

The Viking's semi-hollow construction gives it a lively, resonant quality that works particularly well for blues, jazz, classic rock, garage, psychedelic music, indie, soul, and roots-oriented styles. Clean sounds can be open and articulate, while pushing a tube amplifier brings out the guitar's woody midrange and vintage character.

Hagstrom instruments from this period are especially notable for their slim neck feel and H-Expander truss-rod system, an important part of the company's vintage design philosophy. The resulting feel is distinctly Hagstrom and can be especially appealing to players who prefer a quicker, slimmer neck profile on a semi-hollow instrument.

As a guitar dating to approximately 1970, this Viking I also carries the visual and tactile personality that comes naturally with a decades-old instrument. Finish checking, hardware patina, scratches, dings, pick wear, and other age-related characteristics can all contribute to the individuality of a genuine vintage guitar.

Vintage Hagstrom specifications and individual instruments can vary, and guitars of this age may have received repairs, replacement parts, electronic work, or other servicing during their lifetime. Please refer carefully to the photos for the exact pickup configuration, electronics, switches and controls, bridge, tailpiece, tuners, pickguard, hardware, finish, serial number, labels, originality, previous repairs, modifications, and included case or accessories. Unless specifically documented, originality of individual components should not be assumed.
