New to the Knaggs world.

[BRENTrocks]

I purchased this guitar from @Fiesta Red. He is a top notch person to deal with!!!

I gotta say, I’m VERY IMPRESSED!!!

I just received my first Knaggs guitar today. It’s a Kenai T3 Candyapple red metallic. Ebony board. Hog body with maple cap. Seymour Duncan custom shop Eric Steckel CANDY pickups.

This guitar is only 7.75 lbs!

It sets up incredibly well. Low action.

The neck is a perfect medium chunky rounded 59 carve

Im also very happy with the upper register access.

The tone is absolutely beautiful!!! These pickups sound great!!!

If you are or were thinking about trying a Knaggs, I say GO FOR IT!!!

It's a really nice guitar. Glad you got it.

That's pretty sweet. The majority of Knaggs I've seen online are pretty fugly but I dig that one

Beautiful red, I saw it on the FB group yesterday! Here’s mine: 2020 Kenai T1 Satin finish with BK Juggernauts. Back is dark stained mahogany but looks black in the pic.

Nice!
Is that unique bridge Knagg's design or an OEM from a 3rd party?

Knaggs bridge. Supposedly helps sustain.

You were able to get way better pictures than I did too. That red is hard to capture correctly.

I had a Knaggs Steckel and it was killer, and I regret letting it go. It had the Duncan Cistom Candy pickups and together they were great. Played and sounded epic.

Knaggs Steckel

Had never heard of that model.
What an awesome take on a singlecut.



Dude rips!

Nice axe, they play great!
I would encourage anyone to buy used because they don't come close to holding their value. I bought one for 5g and took forever to sell it (preferred an R9) and barely got $3,500

Yeah I know I never should have sold this amp or guitar

I’m really glad I bought used. I do buy used 97% of the time though.

Your facility in buying and selling guitars so often (like today!) is either a skill or a curse that I do not have. Not sure I could do what you're doing, but you be you, you.

I’ve been doing it for about 20 years. Sometimes I win. Sometimes I lose. I like to try different things. It’s a disease, really….I can’t stop.

I’ve been doing it for about 20 years.

Between say 2004 and 2010, I was buying/selling at least 2-3 guitars a month. It was a great market back then.
Find a good used example of a brand/model I'd always wanted to try and then scoop it up at a really fair price.
If it immediately didn't stick I could easily recoup 100% of my cost.

Sometimes made a few bucks and other times lost the same. Just talking used I probably broke even all said an done.

Off the top of my head tried: Vinetto, McInturff, Briggs, Melancon, Mayones, D'Pergo, McNaught, Anderson, Tyler
and easily a dozen more I can't remember.

what did you think about your McNaught(s)? My McNaught has reacted the least favorably when moving between climates. I still dig it, but...

back on topic, I love that red

 

[Donnie B.]

what did you think about your McNaught?

I'll shoot you a PM so we don't keep derailing from the OP.

It’s all good I don’t own the guitar anymore
