Also i wish you picked more similar guitars. Theyre both great but theyre also both very different, and that was a lower end knaggs vs a very high end prs. Plus putting anything up against a pauls guitar isn't fair. Those are pure magic.
Yep. PRS. (I really listened with a blank mind but, man, what a difference. Maybe he should've matched woods .. but yep .. prs. Sorry other brand lol).
I agree. Also he could have picked the Steve Stevens signature model which has his signature Bareknuckle pickups. I don't like the Seymour Duncan SH-1 pickups that much.
I liked the Knaggs. I like big fat sounding guitars. I'm one of those people who give Rob crap for always going to the OD tones after about 15 seconds. So I have to say, well done Rob for letting the sound of the guitars come through. Even if I do disagree with your selection. ;)
I own several Knaggs and moved away from PRS mostly. They are both great, however the Knaggs you chose is not the most popular wood combo. The ash is a little poppy. Get a maple mahogany Steckel model with BK Mules and bye bye PRS.
ROB's comparison was not apples to apples. Comparison should have been with SSC or a T1/T2 with classic tone wood combination. Outcome might have likely been different.
Chapman brand is directly linked to Robb's prominence so anything he does to maintain media spotlight is good for both of them. Anderton's is also intrinsically linked to that at this point.

Among these two-PRS. Among the two brands-Knaggs. Upd. 10:26 "...even though they are tapped-slash-split". Well. They are tapped when they are not split. And they are not tapped when they are split. When they are split they are untapped, when the are non split they are tapped. Those coils with screws have a bar magnet underneath, almost as a conventional humbucker ('almost', cause it's half the width, closer in size to one of the two magnets of a P90) and about 5,000 turns of wire, again as a conventional humbucker. The coils with slugs are actually coils with six separate magnets. Hence they're pretty much Strat single coil pickups when engaged on their own. And they have a few thousand turns of wire more than the neighbouring coils with screws, like 7,500 or 8,000. However they have also a tap at 5,000 turns point. So the coil has one ground and two hots-one hot is at 5,000 turns, the other hot is, say, at 8,000 turns (full wire length). In humbucker mode both coils are working, one of which acts with all its 5,000 turns of wire of 5,000 turns total, the other -the one with 6 individual magnets- is tapped and acts with its 5,000 turns of wire of its 8,000 turns total. Thus 10,000 turns combined in series... and we have a traditional humbucker. When split, the coil with screws disengages from the circuit completely, the other stays on, but untapped-now it acts with all of its 8,000 turns of wire. Hence no volume drop. (I do not know what quantity of wire turns are in those coils, the numbers are given for the concept explanation.)
No doubt they are fine guitars, I like old looking guitars and relics, but if I was spending that much on a guitar the prs would be my choice. Knaggs do make lovely guitars maybe if Chappers had of picked something similar to the Prs it would have been a better comparence
@@TheHumbuckerboy something tells me that regular gigging musicians can't afford these anyway. these are for youtubers, dentists, and people with roadies.
A PRS is my dream guitar....however, that knaggs oozed LP-style tone! It might have been easier to A-B two LP style guitars. But ultimately I would need to have them in my hands, with my ears in the room to give the choice any justice.
This wasn't really fair. These two. Guitars were not the best choice to compare against each other. The PRS has a lot more tonal options than that knaggs guitar. It's kind of like comparing a really high quality single blade pocket knife to a really high quality Swiss Army knife. Clearly the Swiss army knife is going to be able to do more. Both great guitarist, just not a fair comparison
The knaggs looks beautiful and sounds amazing but, the prs looks like God sent it to save mankind. I don't own a prs, I'm not biased.... But, I would if I could afford one. God it sounds so bloody good too. Every note on that prs sounds like a dream come true.... Can you tell which one I prefer yet.
Knaggs all day. Has a somewhat unique tonal quality. Brighter, more presence. PRS sounds similar to every other humbucker guitar. Sure it's pretty, it's build quality is spectacular, but it sounds so familiar. The knaggs just sounds like it inspires creativity.
wonder what lavalier microphone / system is Rob using. It might sound off topic / not relevant to guitar, but I genuinely find the talking sound is definitely one of the best on CZcams demo. Rob's talking is comforting & the frequencies are also very comfortable to hear. Either it's because of the mic or the post-production, good job!
Rob I have this weird Les Paul compulsion where I see anything that resembles one, I pause the video and go play sweet child o mine can you recommend some help for such a problem?
I would, of course, be stoked with either and I've never had that high end of a guitar. However, I find myself more interested in the Knaggs simple because I'm less likely to run into anyone else with one. I see PRS everywhere (and there's good reason for that I know). I love the uniqueness of the Knaggs. (although, I don't think that particular one would have been my choice. I'm sort of in love with the Severn)
Knaggs guitars tend to be undervalued on the used market. But they give up NOTHING to PRS in quality. I've owned both brands the only reason I'm not looking to get another of either brand is because I make my own guitars and I make exactly what I want. No guitar suits me better than one I made for myself.
I always find it odd that an owner of a guitar company does product demos of other company's guitars. Could you immagine Leo Fender doing demonstrations to tell you if Gibson or Gretsch is better? Just odd.
Before he was a guitar company owner, he was Rob Chapman who told us his honest opinion on things and he hasnt stopped that which is why people still give a shit what he says. Trust me, the day RC only reviews or talks about Chapman guitars is the day people will write him off (not that Chapman guitars are not good because they are great guitars but its a sell out image thing)..
@@RickyTickyTV I was watching back then as well. It's just evolved into a weird place. It'd be funny if Joe Knaggs and Peter Wolf did a Guitar center video comparing Chapman guitars to Fender. Just an odd dynamic. It seems ok on Andertons as he has been there longer.
Both are amazing guitars.. I prefer knaggs design but as far as materials and just overall ease of playing I love PRS. I've only ever played one Knaggs though for about 5mins, I think it was a Shenandoah or something similar. It belonged to my dad's friend who got it as a gift from A band he produced.
I think that PRS’s bodies are made of sipo, not mahogany (I could be wrong, but sipo is used in lots of the core models from PRS. Speaking of the pickups, they are coil tapped, not splitted, preventing the volume from dropping significantly, also, still humbucking but making it sound thinner, almost as if it was splitted.
Sipo is mahogany, not genuine Mahogany, but surely a correct statement. Khaya, Sipo are great mahoganies, Meranti a Philippine mahogany also... Sapele used by many (PRS too) is very far away from genuine Mahogany.
Chris Kinman informed me that stainless steel trem blocks resonate better than brass. Most people are thinking of bronze alloys (which bells are made of) and not brass, as being very resonant.
PRS was never my thing. Not saying they are bad just don't do it for me. I love the looks and the sound better with the Knaggs. Sounds like a Tele with more balls and more tonal options. And the design is so original.
Both great , PRS has a bit more sparkle due to the maple cap in this exampe .. PS it's pronounced Keen-eye it's a peninsula/ river in Alaska . The maple cap Knaggs is a better comparison. I have both and prefer the Knaggs .
Some good comments below, to which I will add that I bet the Knaggs also has coil splitting, you just didn't do it (lift the tone controls I believe...). Both look to be very well made, artisan level guitars. It seems to be a tonal preference thing; I prefer the beefiness of the Knaggs' tone and LP-style playability, but clearly others like the crisper, more bell-tone sound of the PRS, more Strat-like IMO. I have both, but I am more of a Knaggs fan now...no slam to Paul at all!
I happen to own a beautiful Knaggs Kenai T3, same controls as in the video of course, and they’re not push-pull knobs. Just checked to be sure. Know what? I’ve never missed that capability since it sounds so good. (In fact, it’s probably my wife’s favorite in my collection.) I also have a Severn Trembucker T3, another great guitar although I’d prefer the Kenai if absolutely forced to decide. Superlative quality, IMO. I also own several PRSes of various models. Which brand is better? Both such high quality guitars … It’s SO hard to decide. Again, if forced, I’d probably end up picking a PRS by a hair, depending upon the day and the model and my mood at the time. Ha! Can’t go wrong either way.
@@larryh.3173 interesting. I am seriously considering ordering a Severn. My Kenai does have coil splitting…I prefer the look of his T2 to Tier 1 as I like the tops better. Just a preference.
@@landguitar Yeah, I love the look of that Kenai in the video. Mine is a T3, a walnut burl top with inlaid turquoise. OMG, yummy. (I think it was actually a NAMM guitar as pictured in an old GP mag from that time.) My Severn is also a T3, a Wicked Burst. TBH, as much as I totally appreciate the Art put into the Knaggs T1s, I actually generally tend to prefer the relative “simplicity” of my just-as-beautiful T3s. All IMHO, of course.
I would imagine it’s a preset limit set by Thomann when playing gear in that room. At 90dB the maximum recommended exposure is 8 hours and for every 5dB increase, the time halves
Most PRS Guitars I have tried sound slightly anemic compared to other Glued on Neck guitars (Gibson, Collings, etc. ). I have not tried a PRS 594 single Cutaway .
real honduran mahogany is very light in color and weight. it can be blonde and yellow with little or no reds and often has flame figure. i think that's what the prs body was made of.
This isn't a fair comparison. Pauls guitar is probably the most versatile guitar ever built and sounds incredible. Its basically the one tone machine guitar you need if you want all your favorite guitar sounds in one guitar done properly. Its something no PRS or other guitars achieved before in such a convincing way.
Easily the PRS. Just look at it and see how beautiful it is and the craftsmanship of it. The brush stroke birds are much better than dots!! Its also more versatile with the individual splitting option that doesn't drop in volume - every think about the PRS screams quality and you know that quality is going to cost. As nice as the Knaggs looks, it doesn't look as expensive even if it sounds great too. Its far more understated but the dots cheapen it for me - any idiot can drill a hole but it takes a lot more time and effort to make the brushstroke birds and inlay those. Each to their own and I am not saying the Knaggs is bad by any stretch of the imagination but I wouldn't hesitate to take the PRS if I was given the choice. I'd take the Knaggs over a LOT of other guitars but not this one!
Rob did choose T3 version of Knaggs (probably intentionally) which is the entry level of Knaggs asortiment. Check T2 and T1 versions which have premium woods and even greater PUs. I have Kenai T2 in gold natural burst finish and star inlays, Seth Lover PUs. Guitar resonates like great semi-hollowbody and sounds amazing. Try it if you get a chance!! Cheers.
The Paul’s Guitar is a nice guitar, I know that because I had one - with a lovely dirty artist top too. But I traded that for a Knaggs Severn. The Knaggs is just better.
Can’t believe the price of the Knaggs with pretty run of the mill Seymour Duncans in it. Not that they are bad just seems like the rest is high grade, but the pups are regular aftermarket stuff. Like kitting out your Ferrari with a K&N air filter from pep boys.
"Tapped" is a wiring scheme for single coil pickups and certain power transformers, tapping earlier in the coil for a "fewer windings" effect. "Split" applies to humbuckers, breaking the connection between the two single coils that make up a humbucker.
I don't mean to knagg but kenai please have that guitar?
Ba dum tish
I'm gonna stick with my Hello Kitty Squire Strat and conquer the WORLD !!!
Please tell me you've stuck an invader in that sucker
I'm sure they both play and feel amazing. The PRS just sounded better to me.
The first bit of gain (crunch) on the Knaggs made me think of Paul Kossoff (immediately sold 😂😂)

Same here. Sold two PRS guitars and now own two Knaggs guitars. I like the sound, scale length, build quality and the uniqueness of the guitars.
The pickups are very clear on the PRS and the Knaggs sounds a bit muddy to me. I like the look of the Knaggs better, though.
Why would you compare an ash bodied Knaggs with a mahogany/maple PRS when a Knaggs with the same spec as the PRS was in your hands?
Does the Captain know that you're cheating on him?
Chapman brand is directly linked to Robb's prominence so anything he does to maintain media spotlight is good for both of them. Anderton's is also intrinsically linked to that at this point.
@@lilivi4301 r/woosh

Not even close!!! The PRS absolutely smoked the Knaggs.
It's like comparing a Bentley to a Lexus.
If you live in Edmonton, Ca, i could give a nice discount at Lexus.
PRS is just dressed better.
3:46 What? The name 594 comes from the 24.594" scale length of the guitar.

In all fairness, I would have liked to see the 2 different guitars built with the same woods, style of bridge and full humbuckers
For that kind of money, the Knaggs needs more than dot inlays for me.

Can’t believe the price of the Knaggs with pretty run of the mill Seymour Duncans in it. Not that they are bad just seems like the rest is high grade, but the pups are regular aftermarket stuff. Like kitting out your Ferrari with a K&N air filter from pep boys.
Naggs sounded more natural, more r'n'r.
Knaggs all day long.
"Tapped" is a wiring scheme for single coil pickups and certain power transformers, tapping earlier in the coil for a "fewer windings" effect. "Split" applies to humbuckers, breaking the connection between the two single coils that make up a humbucker.
Knaggs has personality. PRS sterile and clinical. Not saying it's a bad guitar as obviously it isn't. But Knaggs seems to have some soul.
The neck is quarter sawn. Thatsbwhy the grain looks different. Don't you have a guitar company rob haha
I want to see the Steve Stevens versus the Mark Tremonti 🥂
