Suhr Classic - Dire Straits tones

I tried to emulate some Dire Straits tone with my Suhr Classic with FL pickups. I used a Splawn Quickrod, 4x12 cab with Greenback Heritage with Axe-Fx reverb. Played with fingers, I usually use a pick.

[martyfriedman86]

wonderful tones sir!

didn't know you could get these kind of sounds from this amp!

specially taking into account that the song brothers in arms was recorded using a les paul and this one sounds awesome as well.

@martyfriedman86 : thanks, I was trying to achive a similar tone with a strat. On later live recording MK was using a Pensa Suhr which is basically a super strat with a thick maple top.

Another one nicely done, Patrice. You've got the tone down....and the chops!

Are these stainless steel frets or classic alloy?

@misternogreco : I'm not sure these are 10, I think so

[misternogreco]

very nice sound! and very close to Mark Knopfler's sound, too

the strings are 10s?  seems a little hard to bend..
