Offered for sale;
Used c1973 Hagstrom Viking V-1 N serial number 852098.
This guitar is in very good condition. The neck and frets are fine, the neck binding is new.
Cosmetically showing playing time without abuse. Visually the guitar presents well.
Hagstrom has reissued this guitar, yet this example is an original.
Featuring a double bound birch body with dual F-holes, trapeze tailpiece with Hagstrom emblem, nickel bridge with adjustable saddles, black plexi pickguard with silver Hagstrom logo & piping.
The bound birch neck has a slender profile with a rosewood fingerboard and mother of pearl dot inlays and the revised Hagstrom headstock shape is bound and utilizes Van Ghent tuners.
Two humbucking pickups, two volume and tone controls, a pickup selector switch and 3-way tone switch, are standard as is the chrome plated hardware. The tone switch gives an instant bass cut, an instant treble cut and a “normal” position.
This is a very cool guitar and there are not many originals out there. It is believed that only 1845 were built.
It sounds amazing and plays great especially considering it’s an “off brand”.
Hard-shell case included.

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every
mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
