Add to Compare2009 McKnight Slope Shoulder D Brazilian/Carpathian
Tim McKnight builds an instrument that is intended to speak to and move the player, inspiring and encouraging you to be more expressive and write new songs. This 2009 Slope McKnight is made with Reclaimed Brazilian Rosewood and Carpathian Spruce, making it a true top-of-the-line model both in woods and in tone. The McKnight is a body shape and style that is respectful of tradition, but this one has additional features like the carved soundport and modern bracing design that enhance the player’s experience while maintaining outward projection. The bass and trebles balance melodiously over smooth, even mids, making this an ideal instrument for both personal play and group sessions, whether finger picked or strummed.

Add to CompareMcKnight Highlander OM Cuban Mahogany/Sitka
Here we have a Cuban Mahogany Sunburst OM from Tim McNight guitars. Tim’s philosophy is to blend tradition with innovation and this guitar shows that. Cuban Mahogany is terrific and not well known tonewood. It is the densest Mahogany and therefore has a voice full of the Mahogany power and clarity but with a bit of the focus found more typically in Rosewood guitars. So it’s a unique voice. Paired here with Sitka it gives this guitar a rich tone with great balance and punch. The custom soundport, spalted rosette, Madagascar Rosewood Bridge and deep sunburst add distinctive style.
