SET NECK PERFECTION

Hagstroms set-neck recipe is the classic Mortise and Tenon joint, the time-tested design that efficiently transfers string energy from neck to body, a design usually only found on more expensive custom-built guitars. One of a team of experienced and dedicated craftsmen hand carves every neck joint, ensuring perfect execution of that this traditional technique preferred by luthiers for generations is perfectly executed. The Tremar Viking Deluxe features Hagstroms patented H-Expander Truss Rod. Providing tension at either end and running the entire length of the neck, the rigid yet lightweight alloy truss rod allows for a very low action and thin neck, two factors that were instrumental in earning Hagstrom its reputation as the worlds fastest playing guitar.

VINTAGE INSPIRED HJ50 PICKUPS

A pair of vintage inspired HJ50 humbuckers rich in Hagstrom DNA drive the Vikings® rich tonal palette and deliver a well-rounded blend of clean and overdriven tones. The Hagstrom HJ-50 pickups have been custom wound to bring out the best of the resonance and sustain this semi-hollow guitar. Both pickups have dedicated volume and Tone controls and are controlled by a heavy duty three way toggle switch.

THE PLAYERS FRETBOARD

Resinator wood is a wood composite material that is both more uniform in density and more stable than any standard wood product, effectively eliminating dead spots or wolf tones that sometimes marr the performance of conventional wood fingerboards. Resinator wood is described by many as possessing an articulate sound similar to high quality ebony with a stable and clear tone and higher overtones and harmonics which uniquely detail each note. Like their H-Expander truss rod, Resinator wood is a major contributor to the distinctive Hagstrom tone. Resinator is also easy to maintain and responds well to polishing.

TREMAR VIBRATO SYSTEM

The Hagstrom Tremar Vibrato is a finely tuned work of art with top notch vibrato performance and layered in lush chrome plate. This remarkably light and responsive vintage style, top mount vibrato system delivers impeccable tuning stability without degrading sustain or compromising your overall tone. Beautifully matched with Hagstroms longtravel Tune-O-Matic roller bridge and the self-lubricating GraphTech TUSQ XL nut, the Tremar is all about inspiration not perspiration.

CUSTOM TUNERS

The Headstock and tuning buttons were designed by Legendary American Guitar designer and builder Jimmy DAquisto. Hagstroms exclusive 18:1 gear ratio machine heads offer effortless and accurate tuning as well as tremendous stability. The self-lubricating Graphite Composite Nut further ensures increased sustain and vibration through improved transfer of energy to the neck.

CUSTOM SHOP QUALITY FINISHES
