Hagstrom Viking Video Review
I'm digging this guitar a lot!
Here I used a Marshall JVM410H through an Avatar 2x12 cab with Eminence Wizard speakers. Miced with an SM-57 into a GAP Pre-73 into an Apogee Duet.
Featured here is also my latest and shortest hairdo.

Does it have a poly finish or nitro? The fretboard looks ebony...is it rosewood?

The resinator fretboard is an extraordinary, homogeneous wood composite that maintains a strong fundamental harmonic and eliminates wolf tones. It offers the articulate sound of high-quality ebony but with more consistency and durability. Silky smooth, reliable, and fast.
The Viking's high-grade polyester finish is hard, smooth, and more dense than polyurethane, so its guaranteed to look great and provide excellent protection and sonic performance.

Cool.
So I must ask: what do you actually play the most these days? Suhr? Swede? Viking? Which do you practice on? What's your gig setup, including amps and pedals?

Nice demo, the Hag sounds great!

I cut my hair shorter this time. Just used the electric razor on 12mm or something.
I play my Suhr the most, because it's my best guitar. I practice and gig with it too. I also play the Swede quite a bit. It works very well for my new rock band I'm in. Fat distorted tones....
I use either the Spider Valve MKII for gigs, or my Marshall or my Mack amps. Sometimes I use more than one amp at a gig.
For pedals, it changes constantly. I'm always experimenting.

Best video yet! Love that sound too
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

Sounding great, as ever, Robert - don't know how you can have such an easy familiarity with so many different styles of playing... Interesting to consider how raunchy this style of guitar can sound when it's usually classified as a jazzer...
