We can\u2019t enlighten you on his unique playing technique that has worked so well for him over the years, but we can refer you to the equipment that will bring you a step closer. In terms of the guitar for instance, a safe bet would be the Fender Special Edition 50<\/strong><\/a>. An affordable guitar with crisp single coil pickups that plays beautifully. In terms of the guitar played in Knopfler\u2019s songs with humbucker pickups, we opted for the new\u00a0Yamaha Revstar RS620<\/strong>.<\/a>\u00a0These series became an all-time favorite among critics and not without reason.<\/p>\n

As for the effects<\/strong>, the setup is fairly discreet. A delay is certainly always present. For guitarist seeking a more versatile delay, the Boss DD7<\/strong><\/a> is an excellent choice and is mid-range priced without cutting the family budget. For a tighter budget we recommend the Harley Benton Digital Delay<\/strong><\/a>, which offers the main delay propertie<\/strong>s at an affordable price.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
