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

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

Here's some specs-


Specs: Chesapeake Electric “Severn” (Tier: 2)

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.

Will do. Kinda like a cross between a PRS and Strat
 
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.
 
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.
 
Kinda looks like a Schecter :confused:

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

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...

:LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
