It was originally launched in 1965 and was built until it was discontinued in 1979 a few years before Hagström closed down their manufacturing in Sweden. This guitar is from production run 712 which ran through 1967. In 1968 Hagström got much publicity when Elvis Presley played a Hagström Viking at the Singer Presents: Elvis Television Special for N.B.C. ('68 Comeback Special)
