Knaggs Guitars release Steve Stevens Classic SSC for Grammy-Award winning virtuoso and long time collaborator Steve Stevens. Based on their successful signature models SS1 & SS2, the SSC is a more classic approach for serious players who are interested in this particular shape, feel and sound yet are looking for a less flashy and more Vintage oriented instrument…
The Knaggs SSC features a classic single cutaway Mahogany body with a carved Maple top, custom SS neck carve (22 frets on 24.75” scale), Rosewood finger board with block inlays, Ray gun head stock inlay, Bare Knuckle pickups and appointments tailored to Steve’s preferences. The instrument will be available in a variety of transparent and opaque colors and a permanent model offering in Knaggs guitars’ instrument stable – unlike the SS1 & SS2 which were limited runs.
“After pushing the envelope of opulence and high bling factor, we felt if we were going to introduce another guitar in the Knaggs SS series where do we go? Well, back to the roots was the obvious answer. As Knaggs guitars are so known for their stunning highly figured tops, let’s do a guitar that showcases that aspect and adds a warm old school factor” – Steve Stevens.
Joe Knaggs added: “It has been great working with Steve throughout the past years. We are happy and excited to continue our collaboration with one of the most influential players out there”.
