Hagstrom Viking Deluxe, very gold, made in China 2007. Hagstrom are a Swedish brand dating back to the 60s; their designs have that particular Scandinavian flair for sleek lines and understated elegance. The Viking is their take on the 335-type guitar, so you get a laminate maple body with a centre block and a rock maple neck. You also get some very Hagstrom things: a 15" radius shred-friendly ebony-esque 'Resinator' fretboard with a slim, quick neck, art-deco inspired tuners and a delightful gold finish. It adds up well: the neck is effortless and friendly, and combined with the Bigsby trem, it's a lot of fun to play. The tone is snappy and immediate, but with a warmth, openness and balance that the big body offers. Hagstrom are some of the most underrated guitars going around; you need a dashing Swedish friend in your life right?
