The Knaggs Choptank is a single cutaway, “Telecaster style” six on a side, set neck long scale guitar. This Tier 1 “Golden Natural” finished guitar is very unique and rare - one of only two built for Artistic Guitars with a figured mahogany lamination layer. It has many upgraded features which are no longer available from Knaggs Guitars. It has an alder body covered with carved curly maple and a Mahogany lamination layer. The figure of the rock maple neck and headstock is superb. Gold hardware and a distinctive ebony pickguard give this Choptank a classy look. Serial #25, with a rare and dark Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard, is inlayed with the upgraded gold surround diamond inlay pattern and a boat on the 12th fret. 3 Fralin Blues Special single coil pickups best that great Telecaster twang sound.
Every player and collector should consider 4 guitar types in their arsenal - a Stratocaster-like guitar, a Les Paul-like guitar, a 335-like guitar, and a Telecaster-like guitar. This one is great-looking, a killer player and great-sounding! Weighs 7 lbs 15 oz.
