GIBSON INCORPORATED, KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN, CIRCA 1948

Mark Knopfler purchased this amplifier at a guitar show in Nashville in the early 2000s. It was photographed in studio use at British Grove Studios during recording sessions for Knopfler’s 2018 solo studio album Down The Road Wherever, as seen in studio photographs by filmmaker Henrik Hansen, although ultimately was not used for any final recordings. For each track to be recorded, Knopfler would rigorously test various amps and instruments to ensure the best sound possible for the song.
