Knaggs Steve Stevens Guitar

[Superunknown]

Looks like a killer guitar...Anybody played/owned a Knaggs?

 

[Shark Diver]

Joe use to run the Private Stock program at PRS and I had a few of those. Obviously very nice work.

Knaggs= high dollar good stuff, dig just about everything about that except for the bridge.

They just shipped my Tier 2 Severn

That thing is badass, wonder what the price point would be. Is the binding pink?

That is uniquely cool. Sweet....,

Binding is indeed pink. Steve posted it on his FB and commented about it.

Not digging the SS model...hate that giant headstock. That said, if it plays and sounds great, I'd still rock it.

The Severn on the other hand is one of the cooler new designs that I've seen recently...love it! How about a rundown on it?

My friend from Md, John Bell, a great blues guitarist was endorsing Knaggs. I checked their site and saw pics of this black/ maple severn. At the time they made 2 of them and both went to Germany.
I contacted a dealer and ordered a few months ago.

The one pictured is mine w/ trem and maple pickguard, diamond inlays, flamed maple all over. Check the Knaggs Facebook pages (they have 2) they have lots of pics. They make some outstanding looking guitars

I'm not into the pink binding, at all. The rest of the guitar looks pretty nice, and you can tell just by looking at it it's built well (like all of Knagg's guitars).

Cool...looking forward to hearing your feedback once its been in your hands for a while. I'm predominantly a single coil user these days and I'm intrigued by this guitar...its unique yet familiar at the same time...an elusive combination.

8.5"?? or was that a typo?

How do you feel about this?

 

[fuzzyguitars]

not a fan of the pink binding or tailpiece.

otherwise pretty cool

Will do. Kinda like a cross between a PRS and Strat

 

[The Hoff]

The link binding isn't a complete deal breaker for me. Do think it would look a lot better with white binding though.

They look unique but in a good way.

 

[nevusofota]

Here in MD this company has created quite a buz among guitarist. They play like butter. Probably my next purchased. The names correlate to the names of local waterways.

 

[Devin]

Kinda looks like a Schecter

Pink plastic binding all over the guitar is something Schecter would definitely do, too

Looks like a killer guitar...Anybody played/owned a Knaggs?

 

[Heritage Softail]

The only way the SS guitar pink binding would is if they threw in some of the SS nail polish too.

The Nuno 20th Anniversary guitar DOES include nail polish...
