    I added a (static) page (under "Pages" at the top of the left sidebar) with a list of trusted gear for the MK style – not the original but affordable stuff with the best value for little money or generally trusted gear. Maybe anyone has more ideas which products I might add there?

    Hi,

    I'm very impressed by Squier's Classic Vibes Strat series, the '60s would of course be the best best. Really good for that classic MK Strat tone… they are very cheap quality guitars…

    For Les Pauls I'd look into a Vintage V100… they are not as dark and muddy as say Epiphones, Tokai's etc.. but more like the late '50s Gibsons…

    Cheers,
    Emiel

    just a simple question about gear, that i did not saw it answered anywhere (maybe i'm wrong):


    what is the use of strings for Mark?

    which string gauge did he used in the guitars he had through out the years?

    ande the ones he uses today?

    0.09, 0.10 or 0.11?


    i know he uses heavier strings on the Jurassic Strat, but only that.


    thanks in advance,

    Gabriel.

    Hi,


    As far as i know Mark uses 0.09 strings for Sultans of Swing and Romeo and Juliet (final solo). I think, Going Home is also played on these strings. 0.10 are being used for What It Is and Sailing to Philadelphia. And MK's '58 Les Paul is equipped with 0.11 strings (Brothers in Arms and some others, I think).


    I don't know about strings on Pensa and '59 Les Paul but I think there are 0.09 or 0.10 on Pensa and 0.10 on Les Paul.


    And yes, MK's Jurassic Strat is equipped with very heavy strings. The G string is wounded like it was back in 50's.


    I also would like to recommend American Vinatge 57/62 pickups for early Straits' sound.


    Cheers,

    Alex.
