I wanted to buy an acoustic. Then I saw this.
The Severn X is different from the Severn. A lot different. The only thing the same is the body shape.
The Severn is modeled after a 1962 Fender Stratocaster, the Severn X is modeled after a Jackson soloist. The neck radius is 14" on the X compared to 8.25" on the Severn. The nut is wider and the neck is thinner and it's ebony. The electronics are different with P/P coil splitting on the tone knob, SD Antiquity Texas Hots and the Bare Knuckle pick up is closer to the bridge.
The tracking says it will be at my house on Monday.
I'll still get an acoustic when I find the right one but ever since I bought the Knaggs, I've played my other guitars at shows only. Knaggs is my thing I guess. They both were the same price at $2,500.00.

The neck needed adjustment and I lowered the action. One of the springs wasn’t even attached in the vibrato cavity.
The bare knuckle pick up is much more articulate than I’m used to.
My Les Paul looked at me and said “what the fuck” and my Jackson wants to disown me!
I don’t know how long these two Knaggs will be exclusive, but it’ll definitely be for a couple of years.

Beautiful guitars. I’m getting the Knaggs itch right now too… I’d love about 6 of them.

A thing of beauty! So cool!Just picked it up. I'm going change strings and set the action so I can try it out before I do anything like change out the pick-ups.

Pretty sure the red one in this video taken at NAMM is the one I own.
It really plays well. Piano sounds even unplugged, and good tone when plugged in as well.

Hard to talk someone out of a Knaggs when it’s screaming to be played every day.
