Hello guys im Richie im a guitarist and loved the music of dire straits and mark knopfler since 1984 when i first started playing. Unfortunatly .i dont own a MK strat :-[ i wish i did. i do own a candy apple red squier classic vibe. Does mark still use 9 gauge strings or is it 10s these days .my strat has 9s on it i dont know wether to stick with them or use 10s.??? Cheers Richie

Hey Rich,
You got here then!
At the end of the day MK will use a variety of strings for his guitars. I would experiment and see what is best for you..
I as you know have 3 MK Strats but they are set up differently...
1) 9's with floating Tremelo (Early one)
2) 10's with Fixed Tremelo
3) 10's with Floating Tremelo (latest one)
I play a lot of MK along with Shadows/Marvin material so the three give me plenty of variety.
Try some 10's and see how you go... What music do you play?
