With the Viking Baritone, Hagström has chosen to focus on this versatility and has, for example, developed 2 new microphones to capture both the clarity, warmth, sustain and clarity even in the lower registers that the baritone produces. "Custom 58'C" Humbucker at the bridge and "P-Urified" at the neck.
With its breadth and flexibility, the Viking Baritone can deliver everything from pure light classic 60s sound, crunchy overdrive model 70s/80s, to today's heavy "überdrive" sound that many musicians today demand. Even at high volume with maximum gain, the Viking Baritone offers a very satisfying "musical feedback" thanks to its semi-hollow body.
The 28" neck has 22 frets instead of 24 which is usually the case on baritone guitars today. So guitarists no longer need to have "arms like a gorilla" to comfortably play a baritone guitar.
