Hagstom Viking
I had always been interested in Hagstoms because they were advertised as having a super-stable neck with a lifetime warranty. I’ve always been big on dependability in products. I bought a 70′s era Viking, which is Hagstrom’s ES-335-alike. I thought it looked incredibly cool, but the guitar never was a really fun guitar to play. It just didn’t sing to me the way I’d hoped. I swapped the cool tuners for a Gibson set, and tried different pickups, but it never became more than a backup. I used it live for one song to get super flange-o-matic feedback (hollow body guitars feedback super easily), but eventually I put the original parts back on and sold it.
