Knaggs Chena 2023 Old Black Violin Aged Nitro

Weighing in at a lean 6.0 pounds, the Knaggs Chena Old Violin is a single-cut hollowbody with a carved spruce top, mahogany body with f-shaped sound holes, mahogany neck with 24.75″ scale, a 12″-radius rosewood fretboard with 22 frets, and dot inlays. Also includes a bone nut, nickel-coated Kluson locking tuners, tune-o-matic-style Knaggs influncer bridge, and its master Volume with separate Tone controls. All of this along with a set of the nickel-covered Bare Knuckle The Mule humbuckers combine to produce an incredibly touch sensitive custom guitar. I have yet to discover a style of music that this guitar does not complement.

Plugged into a fleet of combos and a crowded pedalboard, the Old Violin’s pleasing aesthetics and superb playability teamed with sounds reminiscent of an airy, open-sounding ES-330. Its hollowness, choice of woods, and pickups will enhance most playing styles – very suitable as a blues-rock machine or wailing on the jam-band circuit. It’s also great for jazz, where pristine chord melodies and sultry single-note lines demand substance and articulation. The Mules add equal parts growl, punch, warmth, and presence, and can handle the demands of plug-in-and-go clean pickers or overdrive kings; and those single-note overtones with overdrive are really something special.

I am listing the guitar as very good due to the aging process but it has not left my home studio. The guitar has a pro setup and plays and feels great. Knagg's come with an awesome neck carve and fretwork whch really complete the playing experience.
