The Knaggs Influence Kenai model is a single cutaway with a carved top and back, three on a side headstock, and a 24.75″ scale. Designed and built by famed builder Joe Knaggs, the Kenai features a Mahogany setneck design, a Mahogany body and carved Maple top, two humbuckers and Knaggs’ proprietary Influence hard-tail designed to allow for increased string vibration and sustain. Like all Knaggs models, the Kenai is available in two tiers and a variety of color options.

I actually like that a lot. Price is rather ridiculous, though, considering the rather off-the-rack components.

The finish reminds me of the PRS DiMeola, but much, MUCH less vomit-inducing.
 
I rather like that. The priceisn't the worst until I read + shipping. Sorry, for that it scould be shipping included at least for conus.
 
I'm not into the shape...I prefer the PRS Single Cut. I still want a Single Cut Trem, but they ain't making them and I can't afford one...even a beat up used one.
 
Love the guitar.....the finish is kinda meh and lose the gold hardware....but otherwise pretty hot. Not outrageously priced for a custom shop build.
 
You are getting a ton of guitar for the money.

My starliners are more expensive and probably aren't as nicely put together.
 
It reminds me of a Hamer Monaco :shrug:

Which is ok to copy I guess, since Hamer is no longer in business.
