The Fender Kenny Wayne Shepherd Stratocaster is the blues-rocker's signature model, a vintage-flavored Strat with a chambered ash body for a resonant, lively tone, an early-60s C-shaped maple neck and a bound rosewood fingerboard. It is voiced for expressive blues and blues-rock, with classic single-coil sparkle, snap and quack plus the warmth and bloom of the chambered body, suiting fiery lead playing and rhythm alike. Modeled on his beloved 1961 Strat, it delivers traditional Stratocaster character with a touch more resonance and sustain. It pairs naturally with clean and overdriven tube amps and rewards a dynamic, fingers-and-pick blues approach.
The Fender Mark Knopfler Signature Stratocaster models the 1961 instrument Knopfler played through the Dire Straits years, with a soft V neck profile, a 9.5-inch radius and three custom single-coils wound hotter than period-correct spec. The V shoulder suits his thumb-over fretting hand, and the pickup set is voiced for the bell-like clarity his fingerstyle attack depends on.
