The Hagstrom Viking Black is a seriously cool semi-hollow that offers a lot of bang for your buck. It’s got a surprisingly big sound thanks to those humbuckers and the maple construction – perfect for players digging a vintage vibe with a modern edge. I’d recommend this to gigging musicians who want a distinctive instrument without a premium-priced tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Resinator is more stable, less prone to temperature/humidity changes, and offers a consistently smooth feel without the need for frequent oiling.
The neck profile is comfortable, but the shorter scale length and semi-hollow body can make it feel slightly more compact – try it out if possible.
It's got a more aggressive, focused sound than many competitors; the HJ50s give it more punch and less of a scooped-out mid-range.
