Similarity

Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

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.

The Ibanez S470 is a modern high-performance electric guitar delivering bright, articulate tone with excellent sustain. Its premium pickups and responsive construction provide excellent lead clarity. The S470 appeals to rock and metal players seeking modern instruments.
