Steve Stevens and Billy Idol // CC // Simone van den Boom |
Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens has got his very own version of the Knaggs Kenai ahead of going on tour, and it sounds like it's a bit of a beauty.
Here's what Knaggs have to say about it:
"The instrument, based on Knaggs’ Kenai model and finished in Faded Onyx, features a slightly thicker carved Mahogany body with a carved curly Maple top, a set Mahogany neck with Rosewood finger board and ‘Morning Star’ inlays and Knaggs’ proprietary two-in-one bridge, combining a tune-o-matic and string holder into one unit, thus increasing harmonics and sustain. Two volume and tone controls drive the Fralin pure PAF humbuckers."
Jeez! Sounds like the kind of guitar you wouldn't want to take on tour unless it was being looked after by an armed guard.
If you're looking for little bit of six string inspiration then head over to the Knaggs website and have a look at some of their stunning guitars.
If it's good enough for one of the world's most decorated guitarists, then they're probably good enough for the likes of us mere mortals.
