About this listing
The Choptank is part of Knaggs Guitars’ Chesapeake Series and is the company’s single-cutaway, 25.5″ scale design. Knaggs was founded in Maryland in 2009 by Joe Knaggs and Peter Wolf, with Joe Knaggs bringing extensive experience from his earlier work at PRS. The Choptank combines a traditional single-cut outline with several distinctly Knaggs features, including set-neck construction, extensive body contouring and the proprietary Chesapeake bridge system.This example is a relatively early production instrument, most likely dating from 2013. The guitar has a swamp ash body, together with a figured wooden pickguard and gold hardware. The set neck is figured rock maple with a rosewood fingerboard, dot inlays and the vintage-inspired Knaggs “52” profile. This is a substantial, rounded neck shape rather than a slim modern profile.Electronics are SSS configuration, with three Seymour Duncan APS-1 single-coil pickups, five-way switching, one volume and two tone controls. The guitar has standard playwear for the age, with a few minor dings on the front. Frets are approximately 98% and it plays great, as it should. It is particularly resonant acoustically and has the solid, unique feel typical of the long-scale set-neck Choptank construction.Weight is 3400g. Original case included in great condition, together with some paperwork.SPECIFICATIONSManufacturer: Knaggs GuitarsModel: ChoptankSeries: ChesapeakeCountry of manufacture: USAMade in: Maryland, USAOrientation: Right-handedConstruction: Set neckBody type: SolidbodyBody shape: Single cutawayBody profile: Flat construction with sculpted body contoursBody wood: Swamp ashNeck wood: Figured rock mapleNeck joint: Set neckNeck profile: Knaggs “52”Neck character: Rounded vintage-style profileScale length: 25.5″ / 648 mmFingerboard: RosewoodFingerboard radius: 8.5″ / 216 mmNumber of frets: 22Fretwire: Knaggs Tall Thin, approximately .100″ x .051″Fingerboard inlays: DotNut: BoneNut width: 1 5/8″ / approximately 41.3 mmHeadstock: Six-in-line Knaggs designHeadstock inlay: Knaggs Circle with StarTruss rod cover: ChoptankTuners: Kluson-style six-in-lineHardware finish: GoldBridge: Knaggs Chesapeake Hard TailBridge construction: Six individually adjustable saddlesStringing: String-through-bodyPickup configuration: SSSPickup selector: 5-way bladeControls: 1 volume, 2 toneControl knobs: Metal domeOutput jack: Side mountedWeight: 3400gCase: Original case included, in great condition
