This gorgeous butterscotch Choptank T-Trem represents everything brilliant about Joe Knaggs' hybrid vision – Stratocaster versatility meets Telecaster soul in one exceptional instrument.

This gorgeous butterscotch Choptank T-Trem represents everything brilliant about Joe Knaggs' hybrid vision – Stratocaster versatility meets Telecaster soul in one exceptional instrument.
While set neck versus bolt-on construction remains a debate in the guitar world, in Knaggs' case his set neck design works brilliantly, delivering enhanced sustain and that coveted Knaggs "ring." The neck profile draws from both early Tele and '62 Strat DNA, creating a seductive, addictive feel that's simply irresistible. The East Indian rosewood fingerboard with ebony headstock veneer adds visual elegance and tonal warmth.
The Fralin Nashville Set pickups are pure brilliance here – delivering perfect balance between Telecaster bite and Stratocaster versatility. From crystalline cleans to singing leads, the clarity is remarkable. This guitar has Cornell Dupree written all over it; that soulful, expressive voice would find its perfect home in this instrument.
The tremolo system adds expressive dimension without compromising character, while Gotoh tuners and graphite nut ensure rock-solid stability. At 7.0 pounds, the swamp ash body strikes that perfect balance between substantial feel and comfortable playability.
For players who appreciate both Strat versatility and Tele aesthetic, the Choptank T-Trem offers the best of both worlds. It's a thoughtfully conceived instrument that enhances your musical expression while staying true to the fundamentals that make a great guitars timeless.
