@Flippinflopperstein He's referring to the Dire Straits song Sultans of Swing. Its a very famous song with an awesome riff played by MK. He played some of it to show us how great the guitar sounds with a tune many people are familiar with,
being an enormous Mark Knopfler I am probablt biased but this is the best sounding Strat I think I have heard and I own a Vintage Hot Rod 62 Re-issue which takes a bit of beating.
Hey Shawn, How would you say the 50's Classic MIM reissue strat compares? It has the maple neck that I like and is in Fiesta Red. It's only like $599.00
Totally different pickups, no ash body, smaller frets, of course no MK signature on the headstock! its still a nice guitar but the Knopfler is at a totally different level.
What amp are you using on this vid ? Any OD pedal ?
Great sound by the way. You have your own style and you don't try to mimic too much MK's sound. It's sometimes hard to stay original when it comes to guitar playing.
hi shaun,in the mk strat are the pickups texas specials? i have fender scn pickups in my strat and do not like them! they dont give that bell like strat tone" just wondered how the ts,pickups handle meduim overdrive clssic rock type stuff,, thanks....

I would really like to get this strat, but would like to get it in a 9.5 radius (Fingerboard) instead of the standard
7.25 radius (Fingerboard). It's not a big difference, but I'm just used to a 9.5 radius.

I Like volume pedal saves a lot of annoying movement messing around with the volume knob on the guitar, nice sound.
