The angstrom Viking semi-hollow body electric guitar covers All genres From blues/rock to jazz/fusion and back again. With an arched semi-hollow maple body, Its looks are as sweet as its tone. 2 angstrom hum buckers, combined with the resonant, semi-hollow body, provide plenty of power. And no angstrom is complete without their famous, fast-playing neck. The Viking has the patented h-expander truss rod which provides tension at either end and runs the entire length of the neck. The rigid yet lightweight alloy truss rod allows for very low action and a thin set maple neck. The self-lubricating graphite composite nut is much harder than bone or plastic resulting in more string vibration through the neck. Tuning is also improved and string binding is eliminated by self-lubrication. A long travel tune-o-mastic-style bridge and trapeze tailpiece further increase tone, sustain, and intonation quality. 18: 1 gear ratio machine heads ensure fully accurate tuning. All angstrom electric guitars and basses include their patented h-expander truss rod. Providing tension at both ends and running The entire length of the neck, The rigid yet light-weight alloy truss rod allows for a very low action and thin neck, two factors that were instrumental in earning angstrom its reputation as the world’s fastest playing guitar. The h-expander truss rod not only provides ultimate neck stability, but it also contributes to angstrom's unique tone. Longer sustain and a round attack are some of the Sonic characteristics The h-expander adds to the tonal essence of angstrom. Resonator wood is a wood composite material that is both more uniform in density and more stable than any standard wood product. These characteristics eliminate dead spots or “Wolf tones” sometimes associated with conventional wood fingerboards. Resonator wood has an articulate sound similar to high quality ebony, but without any of the problems associated with ebony. It provides a stable and clear tone, and also adds higher overtones and harmonics which uniquely detail each note. Like our h-expander truss rod, resonator wood is a major contributor to the distinctive “angstrom tone”. angstrom uses a variety of different neck joints throughout our range. Our set-neck recipe is the classic and time-tested mortise and tendon joint, a design that most efficiently transfers string energy from neck to body, and can often only be found on more expensive custom-built guitars. A team of experienced and dedicated craftsmen hand carves every neck joint, insuring perfect execution of this traditional technique preferred by luthiers for generations.
