Standard equipment on Hagstrom is our H-Expander truss rod and Resinator fretboard. Both of these features also enhance acoustics by emphasizing the octave strings, balancing them with the naturally fuller standard strings, resulting in a lush, chorale-like acoustic platform upon which we build our Hagstrom pickup magic. The magic comes from our H-50 humbucking pickups, designed and voiced specifically for this 12-string model. Gorgeous vintage-sounding clean tones can heat up nastily when overdriven, taking this 12-string into new sonic territory.\r\n\r\nMore than 200 pounds of pressure are exerted on the neck of a 12-string guitar, a problem for traditional guitar designs. However, Hagstrom’s unique H-Expander truss rod, inspired by designs used in jet aircraft manufactured in Sweden by Saab, handles this with no problem, and even allows for an incredibly thin neck for playing comfort with no compromise in stability. Your neck will stay straight for years to come with Hagstrom’s Viking Deluxe 12-string.\r\n\r\nVIKING DELUXE 12 STRING STANDARDS:\r\n\r\nH-Expander\r\nAll Hagstrom electric guitars and basses include our patented H-Expander truss rod. Providing tension at both ends and running the entire length of the neck, the rigid yet light-weight alloy truss rod allows for a very low action and thin neck, two factors that were instrumental in earning Hagstrom its reputation as the world’s fastest playing guitar. The H-Expander truss rod not only provides ultimate neck stability, but it also contributes to Hagstrom’s unique tone. Longer sustain and a round attack are some of the sonic characteristics the H-Expander adds to the tonal essence of Hagstrom.\r\n\r\nTrapeze Stringholder\/Tailpiece\r\nThe classic Viking trapeze stringholder\/-tailpiece design, is a work of art in itself.\r\nRight underneath the top part, where the two beautifully swept beams meet, it features a string claw for easy access and super comfortable string changes. Adorned with the legendary Hagstrom crest it truly is elegance defined.\r\n\r\nSet Neck\r\nHagstrom uses a variety of different neck joints throughout our range. Our set-neck recipe is the classic and time-tested Mortise and Tenon joint, a design that most efficiently transfers string energy from neck to body, and can often only be found on more expensive custom-built guitars. A team of experienced and dedicated craftsmen hand carves every neck joint, insuring perfect execution of this traditional technique preferred by luthiers for generations.\r\n\r\nResinator Wood\r\nResinator wood is a wood composite material that is both more uniform in density and more stable than any standard wood product. These characteristics eliminate dead spots or \"wolf tones\" sometimes associated with conventional wood fingerboards. Resinator wood has an articulate sound similar to high quality ebony, but without any of the problems associated with ebony. It provides a stable and clear tone, and also adds higher overtones and harmonics which uniquely detail each note. Like our H-Expander truss rod, Resinator wood is a major contributor to the distinctive \"Hagstrom tone\".\r\n\r\nHagstrom Machine Heads\r\nHagstrom models use 18:1 or 15:1 gear ratio machine heads based on our own designs to insure accurate tuning. Viking and HB series basses feature machine heads with a 17:1 gear ratio.\r\n\r\n(HSVIDLX12WCT)\r\nSKU\tHSVIDLX12WCT\r\nBrand\tHagstrom Guitars\r\nType\tSemi-Hollow Electric Guitars\r\nType\t12 String Electric Guitars\r\nSeries\tHagstrom Viking Deluxe Series\r\nFinish\tWild Cherry Transparent Gloss\r\nBody Wood\tPly Flamed Maple\r\nBody Top\tContoured\r\nNeck Wood\tCanadian Hard Maple\r\nConstruction\tSet Neck\r\nTruss Rod\tH-Expander\r\nFretboard\tResinator Wood, Radius of 15\"\r\nFrets\t22 Medium Jumbo\r\nInlays\tPearl Block\r\nScale Length\t24,75\" (628 mm)\r\nScale Length\t24.75\" (628 mm)\r\nNut\tGraphTech Black Tusq XL, Nut Width is 45 mm\r\nMachine Heads\tDiecast Hagstrom Design 18:1 Gear Ratio\r\nBridge\tLong Travel Tune-O-Matic with Hagstrom Stop Tailpiece\r\nPickups\t2 x Hagstrom H-50\r\nPickup Selector\t3-Way Toggle Switch\r\nControls\t2 x Volume \/ 2 x Tone\r\nUnique Features\t12 String, Strings:D'Addario EXL 150 (010\/.010, .013.\/013, .017\/.008, .026w\/.012p, .036w\/.018p, .046w\/.026w)\r\nComes with\tHagstrom Hardshell Case in Tan Tolex with Hagstrom Logo","brand":"HAGSTROM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51684911415617,"sku":"HSVIDLX12WCT","price":2099.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6257\/9521\/files\/2100654478_HSVIDLX12WCT.jpg?v=1777542872","url":"https:\/\/musicmanaustralia.com.au\/products\/hagstrom-viking-deluxe-12-string-semi-hollow-guitar-in-wild-cherry-transparent-gloss-in-case","provider":"Music Man Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
