I recently bought a Hagstrom Viking. It's needed some fettling (nut height, some fret levelling) but it's now a nice instrument for not too much money...
I’ll have a tele next year so will have that side of things sorted
I'd love to get one try one of his full blown guitars.
the stellarosa looks amazing > https://www.fidelity-guitars.co.uk/stellarosa
some on the 'lite' versions they've just launched look great and pretty good value.
(I'm not on commission just have a soft spot for the brand )
Guitar nerds just did a podcast with Matt.

I really like the look of them, especially the stripped back lite ones - I just wish they also had a trem!
I'd have a lite, with trem and matching headstock with an nos-ish finish (they don't offer brand new ultra glossy type finishes). But I'm not sure they can do that tbh!
I am thinking neck position just to be different, but need to decide on fat mustang pickup or P90.....
I will have a used Mascis JM on the way too, which might somewhat cover the P90 side of things for now...
It's a Lite, but with plenty of custom options:
Matching headstock (shell pink, obviously)
2 x pickups (Goldfoil neck, filtertron Bridge)
Upgraded the the Fidelity bridge
Baked maple/rosewood neck/board
Dark tot scrath plate
I've gone for a NOS finish - no relic job, but probably not pristine
Getting a second pickup isn't too much more as all the Lites are routed tthe same, pickups are mounted to the scratch plate. On the same note, you could order a second plate and move the one pickup around yourself. Matt mentioned that in an Insta post a while ago.
My add-ons made it a fair lick more expensive, but, its a custom guitar, so why not!
I'm already thinking about getting the basic lite model with a single mustang pickup too. Kind of like an Epiphone Coronet vibe.
I just think he's making really cool guitars. Should be with me in a couple of weeks. I'll do an NGD (never had nice enough gear to do one before really).
