New Viking headstock

Yikes!

So, if they (AM/S) or what ever, want to further alienate vintage Hagstrom fans, the new Vikings with the modern 6 on a side headstock, has done so, at least around here. I guess they didnt want it to be too close to the Fender headstock. At this point they should come up with a catchy new name, and leave Hagstrom, and all of us, in the dust.....

As usual, just one reporters opinion.

Re: New Viking headstock

I have to agree. I was willing to cut them some slack, but that "Viking II" is just plain ugly. And why did they change the body shape on the jazzers? All the ones showing up on Ebay now have a different cutaway shape than the one I bought early last year and those on the website. Also ugly.
