Knaggs "Yard Dog" Choptank - A True One-Of-A-Kind - Case Included

Knaggs Yard Dog guitars are a special, limited-run offering from the brand, created using a unique blend of high-quality parts and materials that had been accumulated over the years. These guitars are a one-time batch of instruments built from unused inventory, showcasing some of the best parts Knaggs had in stock, but weren't used in normal production runs.

Knaggs has told us that there are only eleven of these guitars being made and that this one is the only one in the Choptank style. The alder body, maple neck, and Duncan Antiquity Texas K pickups combine to make an amazing and unique guitar!

Here’s a more accurate breakdown of what makes the Yard Dog guitars so special:

The Yard Dog series is a limited edition collection, with only a small batch of guitars produced. These instruments are crafted using premium tonewoods and parts that had been set aside during Knaggs' regular production, but still possess excellent tonal qualities and playability. The woods may not have the striking visual impact typically seen in Knaggs' flagship guitars, but they still offer exceptional resonance and tonal depth.

This Yard Dog is equipped with Seymour Duncan Antiqutiy Texas Hot K pickups which feature a warm bell like chime normally reserved for priceless vintage instruments, perfect for everything from classic rock to more modern styles. The guitar features simplified inlays and finish design, with a focus on tone and playability over elaborate aesthetics. Additionally, the metal parts (such as hardware and tuning machines) have slight visual imperfections, but this does not affect the performance or quality of the instrument. Even the hardshell case included with the guitar shows minor shipping damage, though the guitar inside is pristine.

The Yard Dog guitars are built to Knaggs' usual high standards of craftsmanship, with every instrument thoroughly checked to ensure top-notch playability and sound. Since these are not new models or part of their regular lineup, they represent a one-time offering—available only while supplies last.

The Yard Dog series gives you a unique opportunity to own an incredibly rare Knaggs guitar while still enjoying the same amazing tone and build quality Knaggs is known for. It’s a chance to own a truly special guitar that blends premium parts and craftsmanship with a more "down-to-earth" aesthetic.

If you're looking for a Knaggs guitar that’s got a bit of character and history, and you're open to a slightly more "no-frills" approach, the Yard Dog might just be the one-of-a-kind guitar for you. Grab one while you can—this guitar won’t last long!
