Title: Mark’s guitars
Post by: marki on September 22, 2020, 10:16:02 PM

Quite an interesting read.

Lots of info and details about the great instruments of a “one-off” (as written) talented MK.

Funny that I never ever pictured Mark with a particular type of guitar. Because he had so many songs and stages of his career with different instruments, it's hard to imagine a more versatile guitar player in the way he uses each instrument to its full potential and how each instrument serves the song.

When it comes to imagine Mark Knopfler with a guitar the first that comes to my mind is him with a RED Fender Stratocaster.  ;D
Second with his old Gibson Les Paul, third a Pensa-Suhr and last but not least with his beautiful National Steel. 
But there are lots of others he absolutely plays brillantly.  ;)

Thanks for the interesting article.  :wave
