NOTE: This instrument has been discontinued and is no longer available from Fender. This post remains for historical purposes only.
The Mark Knopfler Strat is part of Fender’s Artist Series and replicates features from the Dire Straits front man’s own stage guitar … a ’60s slab-board neck on a ’50s deep contoured ash body … loaded with Texas Special single coils and a vintage-like electronic harness. This instrument we’re featuring today is finished with the striking Hot Rod Red opaque non-metalic body finish with a light patina stain on the neck!
