Here is my new Hagstrom Viking Deluxe Tremar guitar that I finally got around to playing the other day! Very impressive guitar! I’m sure you are familiar with the song I am playing in the video!

I had one of those years ago. It sounds nice Joe.

That is definitely the real deal! It looks like Hagstrom guitar Elvis played in the 60s. I believe that Hagstrom is reissuing this model in black and red finishes.

That price sounds to be a bit high considering a brand new Super Viking is $949. I would say a used one in good condition should go for $750 or a little less, depending on what condition it is in.

@mickey Actually I checked after posting and it was high. After shipping and 9.5% tax it came to $730 so good price. But the hard question to myself is do I want a green Gretsch or a red Hagstrom? If I could play like Joe the Viking would win

I'd go with the Gretsch. I like their necks & do not like Hagstrom necks. Just my 2 cents.

I’d check both guitars out to see what you like better. I am not all that familiar with Gretsch guitars and never have owned one. But they do have different types of pickups than what Hagstrom uses. I don’t go by brand names, the sound is the most important thing. Even if the feel of the neck is slightly different that is something you more than likely can get used to.
