The "Mark Knopfler" Spec SUHR LEGACY

Hi folks! Steve recently picked up bit of a dream guitar of his - and since I've never held a Suhr guitar before I thought we would check it out and have a good old chat / podcast about it. Overall I can totally see where the high praise commonly found about these guitars is all about. Even if they do cost a fair whack! Let us know what you think!

Hope you enjoyed the vid - filming outside my place had a few challenges so sorry for the mic dropping in shot and some harsh cuts! Ill see you very soon for another video :)

Yeah! Sounds just like Knopfler! Seeing Steve play that guitar makes me think of the sound on Knopfler’s Golden Heart song. Whilst it’s probably not a guitar I’ve ever coveted, I gotta admit to liking it here. Thanks guys, great vid, and made it to the very end.

Hi Paul! Thanks for stopping by - appreciated as always, Ive sent Steve your way, I think hell very much so enjoy your playing :)

[@timsmits7646]

Exactly my problem with my Valley Arts Custom Pro, the 85 emg humbucker isn’t splittable. Then you need a 89. I really like position 4 (middle/bridge) on a strat.

[@danottley2627]

Nice video Pauly and Steve. Thanks for showing that fantastic guitar, congratulations Steve sounder sweet. Also very nice playing chaps.

[@Paul-D]

Thank you kindly!

Tried one of these last week in guitar guitar Glasgow! Looked very pretty, unfortunately I didn’t think it did the single coil thing as well as my silver sky / Strat and the overdriven humbucker thing as well as my CS les Paul. Very tempted by a carve top but they are very expensive!

[@guitarbygus]

Great vid by the way.

[@Paul-D]

Yeh your always going to be making a compromise there when your used to such fine examples of each specific sound - thats why sound wise it wouldn’t be my choice either. Thanks man

[@nevis2769]

Saw this one in GG Glasgow too. Beautiful guitar!

[@guitarbygus]

I ended up getting a Carve top MK spec and it blows this one out the water! Its stunning@@nevis2769

[@miguelestrada9788]

The Jam on iron hand at the beginning is an immediate “like and subscribe “ for me. Thanks

[@Paul-D]

Thanks 🎸

[@GerryBlue]

If it smells good, it will play good

[@Paul-D]

Thats my motto 😅

[@jamesotto7884]

Is this guitar different to the Suhr standard legacy limited edition guitars where the bodies are made out of okume wood? Thanks

[@Paul-D]

Think this is the standard legacy edition - ill have to ask Steve

[@GraniteSoundtrack]

This guitar, in more videos than just this, is that EMG actually sound quite good.

[@Paul-D]

They are extremely clear and crisp but dont have that overwound compressed sort of sound a 15k plus alnico pickup would have (thankfully haha)

[@simondbarnes]

Not my cup of tea visually but definitely sounds good :-)

[@Paul-D]

Its a must have colour for a Knopfler fan 🤘🤘

[@simondbarnes]

@@Paul-D it's more the design than the colour 🙂

[@stefanodecandia2351]

The guitar has a floyd rose 1000 installed (a Korean made) not the German one

[@Paul-D]

You got me researching the differences now haha.

[@stevenpricehereford]

Original
Floyd rose on this 👍🏼

[@stefanodecandia2351]

@@stevenpricehereford there’s an original floyd rose made in Germany (you can spot it from the squared saddles on the bottom and the made in Germany logo on the base plate) and the 1000 original Floyd rose made in Korea (rounded saddles). The legacy has the second one

[@youmisterrob]

'Suits you suhr' trem puts me off, can't fault the sound though

[@Paul-D]

Its alot to put your faith in as a non Floyd user i will admit haha.
