Knaggs USA Severn – Fire Burst Navajo Sun Inlay (T1 Top)
The Severn is the cornerstone of Knaggs Guitars’ Chesapeake series—a modern classic designed by Joe Knaggs and his team to embody balance, beauty, and tone. This USA-built model in Fire Burst with the Navajo Sun inlay package is a perfect marriage of artistry and performance. Hand-crafted in Maryland, it features only the finest tonewoods, premium hardware, and meticulous detailing that elevates it beyond an instrument into a lifelong companion.
Craftsmanship & Design
-
T1 Maple Top over Mahogany – A figured maple top delivers shimmering clarity, while the mahogany body adds warmth and sustain.
-
Rock Maple Neck – Built for stability, paired with your choice of Maple, Rosewood, Macassar Ebony*, or Ebony* fingerboards.
-
Navajo Sun Inlay Package – Distinctive aesthetic detailing, including the Knaggs Circle with Star headstock inlay, highlights the guitar’s artistry.
-
Headstock Veneer – Available in Ebony or Curly Maple, adding a refined touch.
Playability
Every Severn is designed with the player in mind. The 25.5" scale length, 22 medium frets, and 8.5" fingerboard radius create an effortless feel under the fingers. The slim yet substantial neck profile (.850" at the first fret tapering to .950" at the 12th) feels broken-in from day one, allowing both comfort and precision for chord work, solos, and everything in between.
Electronics & Tone

HSS Pickup Set – A Bare Knuckle Aftermath humbucker in the bridge brings modern power and sustain, while Fralin Blues Specials in the middle and neck provide articulate single-coil clarity.

Controls – Master volume and dual tone knobs for intuitive control.
