This Atlantic Blue beauty showcases Joe Knaggs' mastery of combining premium materials with innovative design, creating an instrument that's as visually striking as it is musically inspiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eTier 2 Excellence\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eThe Tier 2 designation means you're getting elevated specifications across the board. The Tier 2 figured maple top displays more dramatic figuring than standard models, creating eye-catching depth and movement under the stunning Atlantic Blue finish. The ebony fretboard and matching ebony headstock veneer add both visual sophistication and tonal clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eOptimized Single-Cut Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eLike all Kenai models, this guitar reimagines the classic Les Paul formula through Joe Knaggs' decades of experience. The mahogany body with figured maple top is carved to be thicker in the center yet thinner at the neck joint. The back contours wrap around your body with a belly carve that makes this significantly more comfortable than traditional single-cuts, even during marathon playing sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eThe set mahogany neck features the Knaggs C-profile with a slight V—a shape that feels immediately familiar yet perfectly refined. The 12\" radius ebony fretboard is flatter than vintage specs, facilitating effortless bends and fast runs across all 22 frets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eBare Knuckle Mule Pickups\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eThis Kenai is loaded with Bare Knuckle Mule humbuckers—pickups designed to capture the sweet, warm character of vintage PAF tones with modern clarity and output. The Mules deliver rich, full-bodied tones with excellent articulation: creamy neck position sounds perfect for jazz and blues, while the bridge pickup provides the bite and sustain needed for rock and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eWith independent volume and tone controls for each pickup, you have complete tonal flexibility. The 3-way switch combined with the dual controls lets you blend and shape your sound with precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eAtlantic Blue: A Visual Statement\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eThe Atlantic Blue finish over Tier 2 figured maple is absolutely stunning. This sophisticated color brings out the depth and dimensionality of the figured top, creating a guitar that commands attention on any stage. The ebony appointments—fretboard and headstock veneer—provide elegant contrast against the vibrant blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003ePremium Hardware and Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eKnaggs' proprietary Influence 2-in-1 bridge combines tune-o-matic functionality with integrated stoptail, providing optimal string angle and sustain. Kluson tuners ensure smooth, precise tuning, while the bone nut contributes to clear, resonant tone. The guitar comes professionally set up with 10-46 strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eAt 3.44 kg, this Kenai strikes the perfect balance—substantial enough for rich tone and sustain, yet light enough for all-night comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eWho Is This Guitar For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eThe Kenai Tier 2 is for players who demand both exceptional tone and visual impact.
