Key Features

Body and Construction:

  • Finish Options: Available in a variety of high-gloss finishes, including Black Gloss, Wild Cherry Transparent, and Vintage Sunburst, each adding a touch of elegance to the instrument.

Neck and Fingerboard:

  • Neck Material: The neck is made from hard rock maple, known for its strength and stability. The set-neck construction ensures excellent sustain and resonance.
  • Fingerboard: The fingerboard is made from Resinator wood, a composite material that offers the tonal characteristics of ebony but with enhanced stability and durability. The fingerboard is adorned with block inlays, adding to the guitar’s vintage appeal.
  • Neck Profile: The Hagstrom Viking Deluxe features a comfortable, slim D-shaped neck profile, making it easy to play across all frets.
  • Scale Length: The standard 24.75-inch scale length provides a familiar feel for players and contributes to the guitar’s warm tone.

Hardware:

  • Tremar Vibrato System: One of the standout features of the Tremar Viking Deluxe is its Hagstrom Tremar vibrato system. This vintage-style tremolo bridge allows for smooth pitch modulation while maintaining excellent tuning stability, thanks to the roller bridge design.
  • Tuners: High-quality Hagstrom tuners provide reliable tuning stability and smooth operation, ensuring the guitar stays in tune even with extensive use of the tremolo system.
  • Bridge: The roller bridge is designed to work seamlessly with the Tremar vibrato, reducing friction on the strings and enhancing tuning stability.

Electronics:

  • Pickups: The Tremar Viking Deluxe is equipped with two Hagstrom HJ-50 humbucking pickups. These pickups are designed to deliver a balanced tone with a blend of warmth, clarity, and vintage-inspired character, making them versatile enough for a wide range of musical styles.
  • Controls: The guitar features a traditional control layout with two volume knobs, two tone knobs, and a three-way pickup selector switch. This setup allows players to dial in a wide range of tones, from warm, jazzy cleans to punchy rock overdrive.

Sound Characteristics

  • Warm and Resonant Tone: The semi-hollow body construction provides a rich, resonant sound with natural overtones, making it ideal for genres like jazz, blues, and classic rock.
  • Versatile Sound: The HJ-50 humbuckers offer a versatile tonal range, capable of delivering everything from smooth, warm clean tones to gritty, overdriven sounds with plenty of sustain.
  • Expressive Vibrato: The Tremar vibrato system adds a layer of expressiveness to the guitar, allowing for smooth pitch bends and subtle vibrato effects.
