For the Hagstrom Viking Deluxe 12-String, the Swedish luthier uses a multi-layered maple body and neck to highlight the brilliance of the double chorus. An in-house H-Expander truss rod and Tune-O-Matic bridge allow precise and lasting adjustments, contributing to the instrument's excellent playability. The built-in H50 humbuckers on the bridge and neck deliver the classic wide and clear sound of a 12-string, making it ideal for recording or amplifying in clubs and rehearsal spaces via an amp or PA system. The setup also encourages experimentation, as the humbuckers’ moderate output enables a skillful balance between stylish vintage sound and modern tones, opening up new sonic possibilities.
Out of the box, the first run down the neck scratched my fingers from the rough frets. There were some finish issues too. Blemishes in the paint.
My biggest complaint is the bridge post sleeves are lifting out of the wood. On the low E side, the sleeve is almost two to three mm out of the wood. The inner side (toward the A string is flush with the surface, so no way to 'tap' the sleeve in. The high E string is similar, but not as high out of the wood.
The sound is incredible. Very balanced (after set-up) with the right amount of 'jingle' without sounding harsh or tinny. Playability is great. I love this thing, but those issues I can not accept for a 1000 Euro guitar. I'm returning it sadly.
