Ok so I like weird vintage guitars... but does anyone else think the Original Hagstrom Vikings with the Fender style neck and headstocks are cool?:cool:

I was gonna suggest the Coronado style kit, which looks damn close to that one, but it doesn't seem to be in the store anymore....

Hey eurora,

We did ask about this guitar a couple of years ago and they said they couldn't do it, I'm sorry.

I do actually have one left of their attempt at the Coronado, as Pabs mentioned. They basically put a Fender style neck on am ES-335 body... not even close to a Coronado.

I was going to save it for the August sale, but if you are interested, the list price was $289, from memory, but I could be wrong. Happy to let it go for $250 including shipping.

lol its probably closer to a viking than a coronado! If you still have this available in a few weeks I will send you an email.
She who must be obeyed will not be happy if I buy another kit before finishing my daughters ST-1JR !

You could fashion this kit into a Dave Grohl Gibson ES

You're right its the right shape. to me it looks like this kit is a set neck?? so closer to a gibson than a fender, still pretty cool though

pretty sure it's a set neck. There are no neck screw holes or no neck plate in the photo

Looks like they laminated a piece of timber under the heal of the neck on a standard strat neck to achieve a set neck for the body, you can see the different colour in the photo. Suppose you could do it either way, set neck as is or cut the lamination off the neck, laminate it to the neck pocket then progress as a bolt-on! ie as a viking would normally be.
