    I do not care if anyone disagrees or not: That is a whole lot of talent sitting there. Being able to play percussion, play rythm guitar and sing without losing a beat, and the other brother being able to finger pick as good as Mark Knopfler is incredible in its self.

      The reason it works on a Gibson (that Gibson) is because that's an OLD Gibson, pre-Humbucker. Those are old single-coil P-90 pickups that predate the double-coil Humbuckers. So that's why it sounds more like a Fender Stratocaster, which of course has always had single-coil pickups. Old Gibson Les Paul's also have the P-90 pickup. They're rare and collectors pay a lot for them.

      Also remember that a Gibson’s sustain is as much to do with the laminated neck to body join and Bridge and tailpiece setup instead of through body.

      With respect, it's hardly note for note. They're interpreting a song, making it their own, adapting it to their (considerable) strengths. That's the beauty of it. Few would deny Knopfler as one of rock's great guitarists, and the finger picking runs he plays on the original are pretty hard to copy. But there's no denying this guy rips.
