This isn’t just another boutique guitar—it’s what happens when a master luthier builds without compromise.
The Valkenburg USA SH “Knackered” is built for players who care about feel, response, and individuality. At just 6.4 lbs, it’s incredibly resonant and alive in your hands, with a broken-in feel from the very first note.
Built by Valkenburg USA founder and master luthier Daniel Margasa, every detail is intentional—from the hand-wound pickups to the thin nitro finish designed to breathe, age, and evolve over time.
The result is a guitar that feels effortless to play, responsive to every touch, and inspiring the moment you pick it up.
WHY THIS GUITAR STANDS OUT
• Ultra-lightweight 6.4 lb build – resonant and comfortable for extended playing
• Hand-wound custom pickups – vintage output with clarity and articulation
• Ash body – strong natural resonance and sustain
• Maple neck with smooth, fast feel
• 12" radius with medium jumbo frets for modern playability
• Thin nitro finish – allows the wood to breathe and age naturally
• Premium electronics: Bourns pots, Orange Drop cap, Pure Tone jack
• Gotoh staggered tuners – stable tuning without need for string tree
INCLUDED
• Original Valkenburg hard case
• Certificate of Authenticity
• Valkenburg strap and documentation
Valkenburg USA instruments are built in limited numbers with a focus on feel, tone, and individuality.
If you’re looking for something beyond the standard production experience, this is where players start paying attention.
