Valkenburg USA SH “Knackered” Sunburst – 6.4lbs • Hand-Wound Pickups

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.
