Introduced in 1965, the Viking was designed to be a feature-rich, \"advanced\" instrument aimed at both rock and jazz players. It was the first model to feature Super'Tron pickups and the innovative (though controversial) Floating Sound Unit, a metal tuning fork mounted between the bridge and tailpiece intended to increase sustain. The model originally included the \"T-Zone Tempered Treble\" (angled frets in the high register for better intonation). Over time, these complex features were gradually phased out until production ended in 1971. 1967 marked the transition of Gretsch to the Baldwin Piano Company, leading to some minor manufacturing changes like \"Made in USA\" stamps on later 1967 serial numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL EU PURCHASES ARE DELIVERED WITH TAXES AND DUTIES PAID\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll purchases include EU taxes\/duties paid, i.e., nothing further is due on receipt of goods to any EU state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY BUY FROM US\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are one of the world's leading specialists in used and vintage gear with over 30 years of experience.
