Specialist note


Mark Knopfler purchased this guitar from Rudy’s Music Stop on West 48th Street, New York, in March 1999. See footnote to the previous lot.

Knopfler told us: 'Even if I wasn’t putting the guitars on records, I was playing them at home. They would be there to hand, never very far away from me.'
