It is manufactured in China where the price so small.
I want to say that I had a huge discount on this guitar and it is found around instead of 350 €.
The bridge is fixed and the Hasteners string is set with a Tun O Matic.
The Bolt, "Ultra Lux" is worthy of a super-fast Start. The jumbo frets are the types.
The pickups are Hagstrom Custom 58 model humbucker type.

A switch to select pickups. Knob a volume and tone for each microphone.
Channel Canada, Trial Division and body tilleuil.

UTILIZATION

The neck is super fast, worthy of a guitar trachos.
The ergonomics are excellent, however slight, to play it standing foot!
To play it sitting thigh to his wife se. Access to treble is correct.

SOUNDS

I play Hard Rock Rock, Metal, Blues and some Jazz.
I wanted a Hollow Body for fun. I tried it in the store and I fell in love pure.
The seller making me 20% (balance), I went to this guitar.
I knew the mark because the King was playing on a Viking.
With regard to the sound is a bit surprising to jazz it saturates very quickly.
To make it perfect Rock. We get a crunch sound round and smooth with great sustain.

The attack is stunning, dare I say, "she farts, she slap!". The resulting sounds are very vintage ressemblen to what was best in the 70s.

It all depends on the amp: I play Peavey VK 112.


OVERALL OPINION

The Viking 2 version is a little "ship" of the Viking. But the build quality is outstanding!
What they do well the Chinese, what a dream!
The buyer wishes to continue to Hagstrom brand as recognized for its quality workmanship.
Store price is about 360 € and € 350 on the internet.

I love this guitar I'm addicted, I do not know what she did ... Usually I play on guitar typed Metal (ESP / LTD KH-603 and Explorer), I find the height.

Only problem, the settings of microphones that are difficult if one wants a pure jazz sound.
