[Flamencology]

All of the mehs.

Guitar looks as late-90s as an Austin Powers Halloween costume.

 

[Tiltsta]

I don't hate it, but I would go with a less purple burst. That in something like a honey or tobacco burst would be awesome.

 

[jelloman]

Wow...Knaggs made a guitar I don't completely hate...

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Her elbows are too pointy for my tastes.

*thoughtfully strokes triple-chin neckbeard*

 

[Gorgon90]

Not bad but looks like a silly amount of money.

 

[Lerxst]

Looks like a tasty piece of candy

I think if I were spending that kinda cash, I'd probably want a custom build

 

[PunkKitty]

I like it. But I agree with Lerxst. I can do a custom build for that.

 

[Aahzz]

I generally dislike Knaggs guitars. This one is no exception.

 

[LeftyTom]

It is a crime to ruin lovely woodgrain with that finish.

 

[Knox in Box]

I don't hate it, but I would go with a less purple burst. That in something like a honey or tobacco burst would be awesome.

^^^^^^This, and a bit less shiny.

 

[Denverdave]

I really dislike that color, and the fretboard inlay. And the price...

Three strikes and it's gone.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

Wow...Knaggs made a guitar I don't completely hate...

I'll second that.

 

[jp_nyc]

It might just be the pictures, but it looks cheap. The lack of binding combined with the purple burst make it look like a limited edition Epiphone Les Paul studio.

 

[Dexter Inferno]

Wow...Knaggs made a guitar I don't completely hate...

Indeed. Wouldn't buy it, but I don't hate it.

 

[Chicken Man]

Looks like a guitar a "corporate grunge" act would play.

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

A Knaggs I almost like. But don’t.
Stupid kitschy Ray Gun inlay.
Purple burst, yuck.
Spalted maple, hate.
I like the concept but the asthetics ruin it.

 

[Monson]

Not at all.

 

[Lerxst]

Stupid kitschy Ray Gun inlay.

FWIW, it's a sig guitar and that's Steve Steven's 'thing' that he made famous in the rebel yell solo


edit: here's prob more than anyone ever wanted to know

 

[dodgechargerfan]

I like the concept but the asthetics ruin it.

This for me.

It's more of a collective of "not-for-mes" than any one of them.

This would probably solve it for me:

I don't hate it, but I would go with a less purple burst. That in something like a honey or tobacco burst would be awesome.
