I found a Schecter retail price at 3,699 USD!!!!

Insane...

The price seem to vanish once you click on the Schecter site but if you google "schecter sultan 3699" you'll see it, and click on the cache link.

Now that's pointless. Unless your name is Mark Knopfler, just don't bother, although MK himself will not bother, I guess.
Phony name for a guitar, too, by the way. Come on, Sultan? The most trivial title for any MK-related stuff in the world.

This is not the guitar that makes the guitarist but the guitarist that makes the guitar  :think

For that price I'd save a few bucks more and then give Rudy a call.

I'd give Suhr a call.

Perhaps I'd call them both to ask them whether they could do something together that I've drawn on a napkin  ;D

I was on the Frankfurt trade fair this week and had the Sultan prototype in my own hands.

It is light as a feather (DM's were heavy), the pickguard is plastic, small size tremolo block (non brass), Fender body shape instead of Schecter shape, wrong (very flat) dress nuts and shape of the lever switches, not really a copy of Mark's guitar. Price 4,300 Euros.

I know a place where to get much better replica stuff ;)

I did not play it, no opportunity. It was a trade show with dozens of guitars on the walls, not a cosy guitar shop. And I was not really interested to play it.

They also displayed there new Dream Machine 2. These were not replicas of the original Dream Machines but more modern guitars (22 frets, slanted neck heel), Monstertone pickups (ceramic, instead of alnico F500T), no brass parts etc.  Price about 4,500 Euros.

Finally, I got a video finished that demonstrates the sound difference between a Schecter Dream Machine and a Fender Strat.
All riffs and licks side by side to hear the differences in tone, attack, sustain... I hope it is helpful :)
