This used 2021 McKnight Solo De Gloria (SDG) is a stunning example of modern lutherie meeting organic tone—with a level of detail, elegance, and responsiveness you just don’t find in factory guitars. Built with a double-top design of Western red cedar over cedar and paired with hollow-back Tasmanian Tiger Myrtle, this guitar delivers incredible sustain, rich overtones, and a depth of tone that feels almost piano-like in response. Whether you're playing fingerstyle or delicate open tunings, it’s endlessly dynamic and expressive. Everything about this build shows intent and craftsmanship: the black palm rosette, ebony binding with red purfling, tea-stained bone pins with padauk dots, and glow-in-the-dark gold side markers. The neck feels silky and fast with a satin finish and a semi-round profile, and the 12-fret join adds a touch of extra warmth and intimacy to the voice. Gold Gotoh 510s with black buttons round out the hardware, and it all comes tucked into a sturdy hardshell case. In Excellent Condition, this is a boutique player’s dream—uniquely voiced and finely tuned for nuance, clarity, and inspiration.
