If you like Mark Knopfler, a Strat is high on the list of where to start. His iconic clean tone is the bridge + middle pickups. Gilmour plays a Strat fairly often as well, though some of his best known solos are other guitars.

You'll also need an amp that can pull off a great clean sound. My little Fender Mustang I gets a fair bit of play despite my tube amp collection. I've dialed in some good models on it, and it has a headphone jack so I don't bother the family while playing. Very few tube amps offer that option.
