- Full, honest review of the Hagstrom Viking Deluxe Tremar in limited edition Emerald Green.

*EDIT*
As a point of clarification, Hagstrom have corrected me in saying the hardware is all made in-house, when it is actually made exclusively for them in South Korea.
Everything I said about the hardware in the video still holds true, but I’m correcting this as a point of factual accuracy.
Apologies to Hagstrom guitars for the misinformation!
I'm happy to finally see a review where they don't just drop a sh*t ton of gain on top of the guitar and then tell people how great they sound. Thanks for letting us here the natural tones the guitar can make.
Thanks! I love high-gain tones as much as the next person, but I feel it’s important to hear the dynamic range of a guitar to make an informed choice - we all play different stuff, so covering as many tones as possible hopefully helps lots of players
Just bought a used Viking Deluxe Tremar four months ago from a little shop in western Colorado. Previous owner put a pair of Seymour Duncan pickups on it. I play a ‘71 ES 335, a Les Paul custom, an American Tele with S1, and a ‘79 strat. I can’t stop playing the Hagstrom! That thing plays and sounds so freakin good! Truly a sleeper guitar.
That’s a great collection of guitars you have man!
Scrolled down to this and I'm dying, because I bet you bought it at Starr's in Cedaredge, right? I looked at it several times online but didn't pull the trigger, and was just thinking about it...which led me to this video. Small small world! :)
@@ThePastorMatt ,
Indeed it was at Starr’s. I played three other, more expensive guitars there, but kept on going back to the Hagstrom, and had to buy it. It just sounds and plays great! It is currently my favorite for worship at my church in Montana. I am Swedish, and have dozens of cousins in the Hagstrom family. Feel like it is family, and probably actually is. It is indeed a small world.
Thanks for the review! Sealed the deal on ordering a red one in mint condition for a great price!
Hope you enjoy it!
So happy to subscribe Andy; I own two Hagstroms; they are impeccable. Thanks for the knowledge❤😊
Welcome aboard! Thanks for the kind words!
I own one of these and I wanted to compliment your very accurate review.
Thanks very much!
Great review. I bought a Super Swede as my first solid body electric about twenty years ago. For some stupid reason I sold it… I found the same model in mint condition last year and love it. It’s my go to guitar. Last week, I saw this model in blue for a great price new…. It arrived today. The finish is impeccable and the f holes have double binding. You’re right about the fretwork. I’ll tweak the neck and all some ultra light strings for my sixty-year-old fingers. I told the missus that this would be the last guitar that I would ever buy; it was April Fool’s Day so….
Fantastic! Glad you’ve found something you’re happy with! Thanks for the kind words too
Thanks for these clear explanations. What amp did you use for that demo?
This, and every other demo I do, all use the Line 6 Helix. I tend to have a relatively standard set of patches I’ve made, that I’ll slightly tweak for each guitar
Would you say these are on par quality wise with Epiphones? Or other 'mid-level' guitar brands? Thank you for the review!
I would say it feels a higher quality than the Epiphone guitars I have played. It’s a very playable guitar, and it feels pretty premium across the board. It doesn’t quite match the feel of, say, a Gibson 335 for me, but there’s a significant price difference between the two, so that’s to be expected. I would place it somewhere between the 2, leaning more towards the Gibson, although if I had to pick a guitar to compare it to more closely, it would probably be a Gretsch G5422 doublecut. Out of those 2, I personally prefer the Hagstrom.
I've been considering the purchase of the Hagstrom Viking Tremar, I have seen many reviews of which indicate an impressive look and feel, but was bothered by said flaws as in loose toggle switch's, poor finish around neck to body join, some buzzing in frets and that the headstock wasn't inlaid but a decal with a clear coat and in some instances poorly finished like hazing, these reviews have both enlightened and detracted my thoughts on this brand.
For what it’s worth the overall fit and finish was very good, and the neck-end of the review guitar defo felt like an anomaly rather than ‘the norm’ based on others I’ve seen since.
I would recommend physically playing one if possible, and seeing for yourself, as it’s so hard to convey through a video. Even if you order one and aren’t happy, most places have a 28 day return policy or similar, to exchange it if you’re unhappy, but they’re definitely nice enough to warrant the order.
Hope this helps!
Thanks, I might try before I commit to ordering, I was also wondering if you have done a review on the Vox Bobcat V90, thanks again.
I haven’t reviewed that one, as I don’t have a contact at Vox’s UK distributor currently. It may well come along in the future though!
I haven’t even seen one in real life before, as they don’t seem to be all that common in the wild, so I couldn’t comment on it I’m afraid.
Its just a rebranded D'ANGELICO..has same tuners...pickups...
A better option for the same $$$ Yamaha 113..or jsm10/20..for better blies tone..lower the pickups
Stranger things have happened, but I believe D’angelico are made in a a different country and factory based on what I can see online.
Yamaha always produce a great instrument for sure, but a JSM is obviously missing the bigsby, and has a very different feel too. If I were in the market myself I would certainly play both and make a decision by then.
I wouldn’t, however, say the Yamaha is a better guitar, especially without having them side by side to compare directly
Looks good, would have liked to have known the price though.
At the time of publication, the SRP is £1,129.00, but I’ve left it out of the review deliberately as these change quite frequently, and I don’t want the information to be out of date as soon as something changes.
Breath ffs
🤣🤣! Lots of information to squeeze into 10 minutes or the algorithms get all messed up!
