Win A Luxury Knaggs Guitar With Seymour Duncan Pickups

Our favourite boutique guitar company fitted with legendary pups   05-Sep-13

What happens when a company known for making beautiful guitars teams up on a giveaway with a company known for making some of the best pickups in the world? This happens...

Seymour Duncan has teamed up with Knaggs Guitars, Maryland's Boutique Guitar maker, to give away a special Knaggs Chesapeake Series 'Severn Tier 1' Trem in Aged Scotch.

This instrument is one of Knaggs' finest guitars, featuring a double-cutaway beveled Alder body with Sapele top and a Maple cap. The figured Rock Maple set neck comes with a Cocobolo fingerboard at an 8.5" radius, 25.5" scale, and fingerboard inlays consisting of Abalone Diamonds and an Abalone Chesapeake work boat inlay at the 12th fret.

The instrument also has a Wenge pickguard with Abalone and Green Snail purfling, and features Knaggs' proprietary solid steel bridge plate/Hinge Tremolo driving increased string vibration into the center of the body.

This guitar has been upgraded with the Antiquity Texas Hot pickups, which produce a nice vintage "smokey" tone and are particularly well suited to rock and blues. Knaggs' VP of Global Sales & Marketing, Peter Wolf said: "We have been working with the folks at Seymour Duncan since the beginning of our company in late 2009. We couldn't be happier with their pickups and their service and we are excited to give back to our growing communities."
