What You Need To Know

1 Knaggs, who?

The guitar company founded in late 2009 by master luthier Joe Knaggs and sales and marketing expert Peter Wolf. Both are ex-PRS lynchpins, as are their employees.

2 More posh and expensive guitars, then?

Knaggs does make those, for sure, but the guitars start much lower than you’d imagine. With some 16 different designs, including basses and acoustics, each has a wide à la carte options list offering considerable choice. The new Kenai J now kicks off the range at approximately £2,800.

3 Who are they for?

Serious musicians, from the likes of Steve Stevens and Doug Rappaport, to our own Richard Barrett, and anyone who just enjoys the craft of the guitar made in small numbers by a hugely experienced team.
