Looking at World Guitars website, they made a post to show some Knaggs guitars are pretty fantastic prices, they say it's from a guitar shop that has gone out of business (who is this ?)
this is also an amazing value Music Man 25th Reflex - please someone buy this
Who is the other shop that had all this great gear that I wasn't aware of?

The Knaggs guitars I've tried have been very well made... but there doesn't seem to be much of a following for them in the UK and I suspect second hand resale values could be very low. Coda tried selling Knaggs guitars a while ago... and they ended up selling the last ones at what I think were significantly bigger discounts than these ones.
If you get one... and it's a keeper... then resale won't matter... but if not...
That said, Toneworld closed down nearly a year ago - so perhaps not....
He's a lovely fellow.
I played a few of the models at Coda... and I don't recognise the above description. I think their very last one had some cosmetic damage. Others appeared to be in good shape... and I seem to remember they were at a larger discount.
I have no affiliation with Coda.. or any other retailer (or manufacturer). Just stating the facts as I saw them.
The last two new ones they had (both Kenais) were both fine, but the last two Keyas they had were both damaged. They sold before the Kenais did, probably because of the price they got marked down to. They got two used ones I after all the new ones went that that were very clean (a Severn and another Kenai) - but those went for used guitar prices. That's how I remember it.
Snap... I also played them all at Coda... and bought one.
One thing we concur on is... they are extremely well made guitars. To me, not up there with Collings.... but beyond PRS's standard USA guitars.

Yep... I think that's the reality with regard secondhand prices.
I'm not wild about the designs - some shapes have an instrinsic 'rightness' about them - the PRS double-cut outline is a great example - I don't see that in Knaggs guitars.
That said, neither of the people I'm referring to would play guitars that they didn't rate - they both own plenty of good instruments (one owns over 70 guitars!)
That's got rid of any knagging doubts...
