A true masterpiece that pays homage to the great Sultan Of Swing. Based thoroughly on one famous instrument used by Mark Knopfler in the 80's, Ufnal Dream Machine recreates his unique tones, not to mention a stunning look.
Solid one piece mahogany body is topped with Master Grade flamed maple that adds to the guitar's both sonic and visual character. The neck is a one-piece birdseye maple with just a stripe of rosewood in the back. Rosewood was also used for the tremolo springs compartment cover. For smooth tremolo action, we installed a special made ABM bridge, and to keep the tuning intact we used Gotoh locking tuners that retain that vintage looks while making life a lot easier for any guitarist or guitar tech.
The electronic is mounted on custom made full brass pickguard. And now for something completely stunning: in order to get as close as possible to Mark Knopfler's signature sound, we have built special custom wound taped pickups with the exact specifications of original Dream Machine with F500T coils. Pickups are taped in the middle and connected via three flat-lever mini toggle switches that let you achieve just about any guitar tone you can imagine, including those favored by Knopfler on many well-known recordings from the 80's era.
