Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have a red one and aside from some minor adjustments the guitar sounded fantastic right out of the box and looked the same. One reason is that every part on the guitar is designed and made by Hagstrom, everything. I own two other Hagstroms, a 2006 Super Swede and a '73 Viking. The new red Chinese instrument is so much better than the original it's hard to believe but true. The PAFs are great, there's no need to replace them. The neck is fast and smooth, has an I beam truss rod that eliminates warping. The '73 Viking's neck is perfect. The new neck feels something like a Rickenbacker only a bit wider and thinner. But the frets and the feel are really close to a Rick.
I cannot recommend this guitar more. It's not a ES-335, it's a different animal, super tonal, huge sustain and insane for the money. You could buy 4 Vikings, or one 335.
I've been playing for thirty years and have played a lot of guitars. This is a really great one.

Two Hagstrom humbuckers, combined with the resonant semi-hollow body, provide plenty of power. And no Hagstrom is complete without their famous, fast-playing neck. The Viking has the patented H-Expander truss rod which provides tension at either end and runs the entire length of the neck. The rigid yet lightweight alloy truss rod allows for very low action and a thin set maple neck. Another Hagstrom exclusive, the resinator fretboard is an extraordinary, homogeneous wood composite that maintains a strong fundamental harmonic and eliminates wolf tones. It offers the articulate sound of high-quality ebony but with more consistency and durability. Silky smooth, reliable, and fast. The self-lubricating graphite composite nut is much harder than bone or plastic resulting in more string vibration through the neck. Tuning is also improved and string binding is eliminated by self-lubrication. A long travel tune-o-matic bridge and trapeze tailpiece further increase tone, sustain, and intonation quality. 18:1 gear ratio machine heads ensure fully accurate tuning. The Viking's high-grade polyester finish is hard, smooth, and more dense than polyurethane, so its guaranteed to look great and provide excellent protection and sonic performance.
