Schecter USA Mark Knopfler Spec Traditional Sultan, Candy Apple Red

Full Description

Classic Mark Knopfler tone

The Schecter USA Traditional Sultan is your gateway to the iconic sound of Mark Knopfler. Equipped with a trio of Sultan A2 pickups in an SSS configuration, this guitar captures the crystalline, bell-like tones that defined Knopfler’s legendary style. You can explore clean, articulate riffs or unleash soaring lead lines, with the Sultan A2 pickups ensuring every note is rich with character. Thanks to the super-switching system, you have complete control over your sound, with each pickup independently switchable between on, off, and phase modes. It’s a tribute to one of the most iconic guitarists of all time, delivering his legendary tone.

Premium construction and design

Crafted with a lightweight Alder body and finished in a sleek Candy Apple Red, the Schecter USA Traditional Sultan combines classic aesthetics with modern performance. The body’s balanced tonal response and resonance make it an ideal platform for the clear, expressive tones of the Sultan A2 pickups. Adding to its stunning looks is the Bird’s Eye Maple neck, which not only provides a striking visual appeal but also offers seamless playing experience. The custom C profile of the neck ensures a comfortable grip, making it just as suited to delicate fingerstyle passages as it is to powerful chord work.

Versatile super-switching system

The Sultan stands out with its innovative super-switching system, offering a level of tonal control that few guitars can match. With three individual three-way switches, you can independently control each pickup, toggling between off, normal, and phase settings. This setup lets you create a vast range of tones, from classic single-coil clarity to phase-shifted textures perfect for experimental playing. You have the freedom to explore a world of sound, from authentic vintage tones to unique sonic combinations.

Exceptional hardware and playability

Built for performance, the Schecter USA Traditional Sultan features premium hardware that ensures reliability and smooth playability. The Schecter Fulcrum Trem bridge offers precise pitch control, allowing you to add subtle vibrato or dramatic dive bombs without losing tuning stability. Chrome hardware complements the Candy Apple Red finish for a timeless look, while the straightforward control layout of one volume and one tone knob keeps your focus on playing. Every detail, from the choice of tonewoods to the precision of the hardware, is designed to deliver an exceptional playing experience.
