Members Urinate Forever Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 Does the 3/4" really make a difference to you? How big are you hands? Does it feel smaller? I've played SGs and Les Pauls and never really felt hindered by anything other than the flatness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ollenorin Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 I had an old superswede and it was great....tried the reissue models and they are heavy. Like 25 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrperson Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 The old ones are awesome, if I ever get the chance to buy a vintage Viking I'll be very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Goldenglove Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 I played a Super Swede for an hour or so once (I was considering selling my Ibanez and buying the Super Swede) - sounded good, I like the shape more than the Gibson/Epi Les Paul shape. It was heavy. I would love to own this thing though: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members arthurdent'd Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 I had a newer Viking, those thin necks are just awful for my hands. Couldn't play it at all, my hand cramped up, it sounded really good to me though, the neck sucked too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wiklund87 Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 the weight and the thin necks... big concern for me what about the gretch pro jets with/without bigsby? duo jet if you got the cash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members six acre lake Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 Does the 3/4" really make a difference to you? How big are you hands? Does it feel smaller? I've played SGs and Les Pauls and never really felt hindered by anything other than the flatness. It is a huge difference. One of the main reasons I don't own a Jaguar, Mustang, Hagstrom Viking and a slew of others. Just feels cramped and I'm no fret board wizzzard.

Members echodeluxe Posted April 8, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 i do, however, like the jaguar and mustang neck fine. are we talking similar or smaller than a jaguar/mustang neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WeStartToDrift Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 I have my eyes on the Viking Baritone. if I ever put together a doom band I'll snap it up in a heart beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
