MK strat too heavy

     Just saw this blog online. Don't know anything about the guitar, the website or the buyer but thought some might find it interesting.

The Strat that weighed the least.

The owner purchased a Mark Knopfler Strat, new, online and felt that the instrument was not as advertised. Namely, the weight of the guitar did not match up to the advertising claim of "lightweight" playing. He returned the instrument, through the online retailer, and the replacement instrument he received felt still too heavy. He then contacted Fender who contacted us (since we are a warranty station for their guitars) and requested whether we would provide excellent service by facilitating the return and delivery of a third Mark Knopfler Stratocaster. Fender would ensure the satisfaction of this particular customer by going though their entire stock of these instruments at the warehouse, weighing each individual guitar and shipping directly to us for him, the Strat that weighed the least. See how helpful Fender can be? All is forgiven (almost).

The link doesn't seem to work?

My MK strat is very lightweight, but even MK has said that they can vary quite a lot.

Dusty, when you get to the "page not found" page, click on the "Daily Guitar Repair" link. It goes to the article.
