What a beauty! (the guitar that is...)


My guess is also that this guitar is used on Yon Two Crows, which makes it possible to hear that song live (new guitar endorsements lead always to at least one song in the set  ;D )

Thank you for the big photo ustas ! I like the colours, his white trousers match perfectly with the white door and baseboards. I don`t like the way he holds the guitar, it`s too staged imo, but the photographer may want to have more parallel lines, the guitar shouldn`t cross the doorframe I think. Ok, I better stop now, I`m an ambitous hobby-photographer and could write a lot more about the photo ;-) . What I like too is the posture of his feet, it`s like a little boy  ;D , very sweet  ;D

I like that colour...

My guess is that guitar is only for the picture, as the old vintage guitar (Hoffner???) he used for the Kill to get crimson promotion pics...

Guy mentioned that pics sessions and he talked about an awful lot of guitars used in that sessions, so I expect we will see more when the whole sessions is revealed.

Maybe he likes it so much he will decide to adopt it to old tunes too...

It looks like a new Pensa MKD model, Frost Blue, with Mark's favorite  "C" Shape neck profile (the similar neck is used for MK Sig Strat)

Perhaps now Mark prefers to buy guitars with Frost Blue color (incluging his latest Gibson '57 Les Paul reissue)

Oh, the Gibson... I was wondering where I saw this colour before... the Gibson he used during the Dylan Fall 2011 Tour...

Very nice one.

Maybe I will ask Guy if that guitar was used in any of the songs...

The basic price is 5,600 USD and I do not think that Mark got it for this picture only  :)

How much do you think most of MK guitars cost, guitars that he hardly use them on records or live?
