Knaggs Influence Kenai USA 250th Red Blue White #1 (526)

reated to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States, this limited-edition Knaggs Kenai combines the Influence Series platform with an unmistakably American collection of custom appointments. This particular guitar is especially significant as #1 of the run, with the build sheet identifying it as USA 250th #1.

The guitar features a Tier 1 maple top over mahogany, finished in a special Red, White & Blue treatment under gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. Double body purfling adds another layer of detail, while the ebony fingerboard and ebony headstock overlay are both framed in natural maple binding.

The commemorative work is what really sets this Kenai apart. The ebony fingerboard carries a special USA 250th inlay featuring the American flag with F-18 and F-16 aircraft in a flyby, while the headstock receives its own USA 250th treatment with a vintage U.S. roundel and Knaggs logo. A matching USA 250th truss rod cover completes the anniversary theme without turning the guitar into a simple display piece.

Underneath those appointments is a serious Knaggs instrument. A mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, Knaggs Influence bridge, Kluson tuners and Lollar Imperial K humbuckers with nickel rings and pearl tops give the guitar a premium hardware and electronics package to match its visual treatment. The included factory build sheet documents this guitar as serial 2586, completed July 30, 2026, with a listed weight of 8.2 lbs.

For a collector, the combination of a historically significant anniversary theme, highly specific custom inlay work and serial position #1 in the USA 250th run makes this a particularly noteworthy Knaggs.
