It was good quality, aside from the pots and switches, which were a bit wobbly and no doubt a PITA to change.
Quite a versatile guitar, pickups were pretty low output, quite jangly and single coil like

Any views?
My feedback thread is here.
It's thinner - the Wizard III is 19mm at the first fret
Thumbs up from me in general.
@benecol I've not really tried many of the new Hagstroms. I had an F300 which was okay. And tried the Viking which I liked, but these were just after the brand came back in the mid 2000s.
They've finally done a decent reissue of the Elvis Viking II, which has got to be worth a try.

As said elsewhere, the only down side is likely to be the circuitry. I had mine rewired + output socket + pots + switch. That done, its now as gigable & reliable as anything else I use.
You will have a flat (15" radius) fingerboard, and a wide (1.69" at nut) neck. The synthetic FB material is hard and durable. Played acoustically, you'll hear a high tinny overtone. It doesn't get through or affect the amplified sound at all.
All the Hagstrom branded hardware (tuners / pickups etc) on the guitar is all good, as is the body & neck.
