Back in 1976 in bought a 1973 Swede hand made in Sweden. Love it still have it, just wore it out. So I bought a Hagstrom HJ500 to repalce it.
Love it also plays like a dream, but I just couldn't get the sounds from it I could the old Swede. So I bought a new China made swede. It plays/sounds the same.
Now that you've experienced the feel and the tones of the Hag you may as well keep it or go back one day and buy another. I've gotten to play a number of different guitars over the years, but Hags are all I buy.
Vicking are execlent guitars and can play almost any style of music.
