Hey man wicked playing and long demo playthrough! Unfortunately your long review link is broken and id really like to see it can i access it another way?? ^ I have some other knaggs questions in general although the 1 model i really want is the steckel or les paul which is a bit different than your chena sure, but maybe your experience can help me with mine! I 'll start there with the steckel kenai and in general how close does the kenai get to that massive les paul tone without the other uncomfortable les paul woes ? : Like I said These Qs would also apply to the knaggs kenai , steve stevens SCC and even doug rappaport sig kenai basically any knaggs that is made to be a les paul ish guitar especially with no weight relief and binding on body + fretboard has my attention! : ^*** Thanks in advance for any replies I'd really appreciate it and I hope you see this! **** : I've been wanting a les paul killer as the next best thing , no 6k-12k gibson les paul custom shop R8,R9,R0 has spoken to me across 4 long and macquades( Canada's guitar center basically ) lps r9s are great guitars but they're 100% pure vintage reproductions , if the Body neck and frets feel OK on one R9 or R0 then the finish isn't what I want too old school and classic looking I want something with a modern edge to it but nothing like a PRS still very much the core les paul sound a full thickness mahog body no weight relief 59 neck shape and a different burst besides the very common and decades old cherry burst or faded cherry, slight tobacco; I could settle for a solid gold top but again either the frets feel too tiny and vintagey or the frets are OK but the pickups are too vintagey and tiny/ weak sounding. ^ You can probably see where this is going either a Gibson custom shop or knaggs steckel custom order will probably be the way to go for me BUT knaggs custom would still get my vote most likely because gibsons custom shops even the 12k Murphy I picked up for fun didn't give me this feeling of a super expensive guitar made under a microscope feeling. Knaggs seem consistent 99% of the time their QC and overall build pricess seems way more customer centered than gibsons custom shop in comparison. ^ Do you think a knaggs steckel built w full thickness les paul specs style in mind at about 8 lbs would basically so the gibson LP thing but in spades made to measure more than any gibson les paul at that point ? ^ The only problem being no try before you buy with knaggs for us ontarians here, only 2 dealers in all of Canada and I think 1 is in BC other is in Quebec or thereabouts. ^ Seems worth it overall to take a shot in the dark with knaggs as much as the resale sucks, if it's killer and blows any of the 100 or so les Paul's I've tried out of the water then I don't think I'd want to sell it down thebroad for something else new and Shiney for 5.5k CAD when the knaggs CS steckel would cost around 8k. If I was a flipper those numbers really suck ass to see, but because I'm looking for a guitar w exactly what I want then I don't think I will even think of selling / trading it. ^ Anyway , I'll leave it there for now maybe you were like me tried dozens or a hundred les Paul's and even if you found 1-5 good ones the style , finish frets or something wasn't right in your gut with it that warranted gibsons CS R9 7k used to 8.5-10k new price tags. ^ Whenever you get a chance I'd be interested tonhear your thoughts. If I had to think of a few players who use this kind of modern les paul approach and why they swapped to knaggs it would easily be eric steckel himself doug Rappaport and Steve stevens - guy has les Paul's that were custom build for him like that steckel but on a Gibson gold top w dark bark but yet what he received from knaggs has made him put down the majority of his Les Paul's for his Knaggs stevens SCC meaning he liked it atleast as much if not more than his dozens of gibsons that he's had for decades. I'd say that's an impressive feat for Joe knaggs and him team. Cheers from Niagara on the lake Ontario and have a good weekend Best, - Adam 🙏🤟

I have the same guitar - it came with David Allen P51 pups. I tried a ton of different pups (especially PAFs) and finally found heaven in the Bare Knuckle ABRAXAS set! I use a Bogner 3534 XTC with EL34 power tubes. So I was looking for a more warmer sound with a balanced tone across the bandwidth of frequencies. I did not want a harsh bite - the ABRAXAS set delivers a perfect balance in this Influence bridged guitar.

Absolutely gorgeous guitar. Nice demo and well played, once again pleased our ears. Took me years to understand the beauty of the Seth Lovers and other PAF kind of buckers sound. Nowdays I have an Ibanez SZ320 Goldtop with Seth Lovers and I'm loving it. Those pups are just honey to ears. ps. I've been wondering what watch are you wearing.

+b10t3rr0r Haha thanks for watching, again! It's just a $40 watch I picked up in Tokyo when my old one had died while I was travelling. I love it but it's really nothing that special, haha.

Thanks! Unfortunately this one was a review unit which has been returned but I did eventually acquire a Kenai of my own which I love!

Sounds Great! What part did the Scuffham Gear have in the recording? I'm interested in buying the Torpedo...

Thanks! :) I used the S-Gear 2 for the delay on the solo. The Torpedo Live is awesome, it's revolutionised my recording process and made my life a whole lot easier!

The thing that strike me when first saw kenai, awfully similar to Gibson l5s. Since the construction was based upon les paul wood I expect a good tone out of it. How deep is the neck joint?
@sixstringsamurai77

The neck joint is actually a bit easier to get around because the body is much thinner than a LP. There are lots of pics in the written review if you'd like to check them out! bit.ly/1j9X15g

red comn don't u think they resemble PRS a bit more? Since Joe knaggs worked for them. Just my opinion.
