Note du spécialiste


Mark Knopfler acquired this guitar in 2005. Knopfler’s guitar tech Glenn Saggers told us that every newly acquired 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. From time to time, Knopfler kept this guitar in his study for home use.
