Specialist note


Mark Knopfler purchased this hand-built guitar from luthier Todd Cambio of Fraulini Guitars in 2007. Knopfler opted for the Francesca model - a copy of the Stella Auditorium 12-string guitar made by the Oscar Schmidt Company and played by such blues greats as Leadbelly and Blind Willie McTell.
