For guitarists who know their gear and demand excellence, Knaggs Guitars offers a level of craftsmanship and tonal precision that few brands can match. At Blues City Music, we’re proud to carry Knaggs because our customers - seasoned players with a discerning ear - deserve nothing less than the best.
The Legacy of Joe Knaggs
Founded by master luthier Joe Knaggs, a former head of the Private Stock program at PRS Guitars, Knaggs Guitars is rooted in the pursuit of perfection. Every guitar is handcrafted in Maryland by a small team dedicated to building instruments that are both visually stunning and sonically exceptional.
Knaggs’ designs are known for their proprietary set-neck joints, beautiful carved tops, and premium tonewoods. This isn’t mass-produced gear - it's artistry.
Tone That Speaks to the Experienced Player
What sets Knaggs apart is the clarity and responsiveness of their instruments. Whether you're playing blues, jazz, rock, or fusion, Knaggs guitars deliver complex harmonics and rich sustain that respond to your touch and technique.
Guitars like the Kenai, Choptank, and Severn are known for their balance of elegance and raw power. Pickups are carefully selected and matched to the instrument, giving you tonal range without compromising character.
Built for the Stage and the Studio
Professional musicians appreciate the stability and reliability of Knaggs Guitars. These instruments stay in tune, handle changes in temperature and humidity with ease, and provide consistency across every performance.
In the studio, their tone cuts through the mix without overpowering it - the kind of precision that lets you focus on your playing, not EQ tweaks.
Investment-Worthy Craftsmanship
Knaggs Guitars aren’t just tools - they’re heirlooms. With resale value that holds strong and finishes that age beautifully, many of our customers see them as a long-term investment in their sound and their legacy as musicians.
If you’re tired of settling for “good enough,” it might be time to upgrade to a guitar that meets you where you are: at the top of your game.
