GIBSON INCORPORATED, KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN, 1958

Mark Knopfler purchased this guitar from Nationwide Guitars in Columbia, Maryland, in July 2005, and sometimes kept in his study for home use. Knopfler’s guitar tech Glenn Saggers told us that, once purchased, every guitar would spend time in Mark’s hands so he could get an idea of the sound and where a particular guitar might fit in a particular song. Most recently, Knopfler used this Les Paul Junior during recording sessions at British Grove Studios in 2021-23.
