Although I'm primarily an acoustic player, I do own a bunch of electrics. Most of them are inexpensive guitars that I intend to modify at some point. I have a strat copy that I put a new neck on and installed Klein Jazzy Cat pickups with the intention of getting something close to an early Mark Knopfler sound.

I also have a tele copy that's with my tech right now. He's upgrading the electronics and installing a couple of tapped "Walk of Life" pickups I bought off some guy in Germany. So once again, going for a Knopfler tone.

I think I'm detecting a pattern.

I've never bought a single thing based on a famous pickers chops. I found my gear and sound a long time ago. But, if I could anywhere near approach what this guy did as far as picking, stage presence and just plain partying hardy I'd fall on my knees and thank the Saints.

Pat Metheny, although my 195 is a bit thinner than his 175.
