About this listing
Here is a Custom Ordered 2011 Knaggs Tier 1 Kenai. Serial # 79, I was told the first Kenai with P90's!It has a big, clear sound that responds well to nice vintage break up when pushed. It plays like a nice mid 50's Black Beauty but with medium frets. Dark ebony fret board, low fast action and incredible response to your playing style.The p90'S are Creme Fralin"s and the pots are rated 500K. It feels solid like a fine vintage instrument at 8 pounds 12 ounces. I asked for a top that was more understated and elegant, there is flame in the maple but subtle and very vintage looking. The mahogany for the body is ribbon with a tight curl again on the subtle side. Both 59 profile neck and body are super tight and straight and finished in vintage cherry. There are no wear patterns anywhere on the instrument.
