ST-500D S

The ST-500D are great Strat copies with the original FS-1 DiMarzio pickup (the D letter).

The FS-1 pickup is the "FAT Strat", used by Mark Knopfler in the '80 and still in production.

The rich sound coming out this guitar makes it quite different from a trebly standard strat. 

This instrument is really professionally built, sounding and appearing. I'd compare this to a USA-made original strat, with the plus of the DiMarzio pickups.

This particular model, in comparison to "blackie", has a rosewood neck providing for a great sound and playability.
