Hagstrom Viking Standard, Review

[just strum]

As promised. I have not played around with this backer in a long while, and I am a bit surprised how rusty I feel/sound, but hopefully this gives an idea of how the guitar sounds. I tried a take of the intro through the intro solo, then did some various wanking trying out a couple of things to give some more guitar sounds.

This is with just a bit of overdrive (Bad Monkey with level turned down to about 9) into the C-30 mic'd. It is center switch position with both pups on, neck dimed, bridge turned down to 7 or 8, tone rolled back on the bridge to 5 or 6, and neck just a bit to 7.

I have not posted any clips in a long time, and I am not an accomplished player, but hopefully this gives a feel for some of the sounds. I am going to add a clean clip too at some point.

Very nice Steve - sounds sweet and a good song for that guitar.
