Danelectro sound on "expresso love" by dire straits?
Do you guys think the opening riff of this album version is a danelectro? Ignore when the band comes in and the strats start, more interested in the first eight bars or so.
Thx in advance. |

Schecter Dream Machine sunburst 1980
Sorry, the link would not copy. Do a search on Mark Knophler's gear on Expresso Love..Schecter Dream Machine sunburst 1980, Strat copy.
Apparently the guitar was stolen from him |

I heard that guitar was stolen too; the Schecter strat copy was on a different track than the opening riff. It's on a very unique single coil that does not sound stratty in any way.
Any other suggestions? Thx guys and gals |

It mentions the Schecter as being used on the album Making Music (which doesn't mean it still could not be the Danelectro on that track) https://www.groundguitar.com/mark-knopfler-gear/

I hadn't listened to this in years...man, what a great album.
I don't know if it's a Dano, but I'm almost positive I could cop that tone with my Dano. |

It seems very unlikely. The link says a Danelectro first showed up on a track in 2004. Espresso Love was released in 1980, 24 years earlier. He probably didn't even own one back then.
