Used Knaggs Keya Sunburst with OHSC

We just took in a killer guitar - a previously owned Knaggs Keya, with serial # 77.  That makes it a very early build, one of the original guitars in the early days of the company.  It's been kept in great shape, and is spectacular to play.

The Keya is a double-cutaway model with a beautiful flame maple top, hand-built in Maryland, combining a Les Paul's short scale and set neck with a more modern shape and carved body. This one is finished in sunburst, which shows the wood grain nicely.  The body is mahogany with a carved top and back, and the neck is a set mahogany neck with Knaggs' own C-shaped profile that's very comfortable to play.  The scale length is 24.75", the same as a Les Paul, so bends feel easy and the strings have a bit of give. Three-on-a-side tuners are Kluson vintage-style, and the bridge is Knaggs' own Influence design, a two-in-one bridge and string holder.

You get two custom-wound humbuckers, which bring classic tones with a bit of a modern touch - whether clean or dirty, even with high gain, these pickups sound excellent.  The Keya is wired the simple way, with a 3-way toggle, volume and tone controls, and nickel hardware. It's a simple guitar to operate, so you can spend your time playing it.

The semi-gloss finish is thin and lets the wood breathe, and the carved top gives it the visual depth of a high-end custom.  It's in excellent condition and comes with its original hardshell case.

The guitar has been set up to play perfectly by the techs in our shop, and it is ready to go.  If you're a fan of Knaggs and want an early build, or just want a unique double-cut from one of the best boutique builders out there, this Keya is a great find.
