The Mark Knopfler Stratocaster guitar is a true “Sultan of Swing,” with a Hot Rod Red ’57 Stratocaster ash body and vintage tinted ’62 C-shaped maple neck with rosewood fingerboard. Knopfler’s unmistakable tone comes from three Texas Special™ single-coil pickups and a five-way switch. Other features include Fender/Gotoh® vintage tuners, an American Vintage tremolo system, and Mark's signature on the headstock!
