Knaggs USA Eric Steckel Kenai T/S – Aged Scotch T1 Top Back Onyx Binding  (Signature Model)

The Eric Steckel Kenai T/S is the signature model of blues-rock prodigy Eric Steckel, whose fiery playing has taken him from performing with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers at age 12 to touring the world as a modern blues heavyweight. Designed in collaboration with Joe Knaggs, the Steckel Kenai T/S reflects Eric’s demand for powerful tone, vintage-inspired feel, and stunning boutique aesthetics. This USA-built Aged Scotch T1 Top Neck model pairs classic mahogany resonance with a carved maple top and Seymour Duncan Candy humbuckers — the same pickups Eric uses to deliver his stadium-filling sound.
