  • Description: The legendary guitarist, Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits fame and Fender® have collaborated & produced the Fender® Mark Knopfler Artist Series Stratocaster® that rivals Custom shop Strats at twice the price! Mark Knopfler took his favorite features from his original '57 & '62 Stratocasters and created a masterpiece. The instrument starts with a lightweight 57' comfort contoured Ash body finished in a bold "Hot Rod Red" nitro-cellulose lacquer finish allowing the Ash body to properly resonate & breathe. Mark chose a ’62 C-shaped Maple neck with Rosewood fretboard from his favorite Strat® with Medium Jumbo nickel silver frets & vintage tinted the maple again utilizing a nitro-cellulose lacquer finish to preserve the natural tone of the woods with incredible resonance. Mark Knopfler's pickup choice were three Texas Special™ single-coil pickups and a five-way selector for an incredible palate of tones. Another contributing factor to the outstanding tonality/sustain of this instrument is the American Vintage tremolo system with the large block. Comes with Deluxe Brown Hardshell Case, Strap, Cable, and Paperwork
