You may add me to the list for SE00278.
What a beauty she is!

Nice! New purchase?

It is!
I spotted it on Ebay a couple of weeks ago and I just couldn't help myself.
Very trustworthy seller and the guitar looked almost new!
So a very happy me!

Early number so I assume 2003. Mine is 154 I think, built July 2003. Is yours the correct colour?

I'm not sure about the colour.
It looks a little darker than Hot Rod Red to me, so could be Dakota Red.

It's an absolute beauty. I can't believe someone basically kept that guitar locked up and unplayed for 20 years!

congratulations my friend, I hope you get as much pleasure from it as I do from mine.

Welcome indeed to the owners list! What a thing of beauty 278 is - a lot darker than hot rod red and most certainly Dakota red!

Interesting, a Custom Shop MK Strat.

Here's another link: https://www.mattsguitar.shop/en/guitares-stock/fender-stratocaster-mark-knopfler-signature-masterbuilt-yuriy-shishkov

be careful with Matt.... several people have been very disapointed by his services....

I witnessed a weird thing about him at the MK gig in Lyon 2019....

he is not very clean with what he says....

Thank you. I'm obviously not interested in buying the guitar, but that's why we have forums — to help guide people.

It's a tad disturbing that the man with the "I pestered my poor dad"-start in music business currently only has the Fender collab as a connection to the common man with the common wallet.

The signature Martin was loads of cash
The signed and certified Gibson LP was too.
The Boswell is a collector's only kind of piece, sold out in minutes upon release at fairly good car price-level.

Sorry, but the hypocrisy is ringing out. And it's ringing false.

Bring back the economical lukewarm guitars signature editions!

In all fairness, the fact that your average guitar player can't afford any of MK Signature guitars is another reminder to work harder, and maybe, one day you'll get it. I know I dig too deep into this and it's definitely a bummer, and I too want an affordable MK guitar. But probably by owning MK Sig you know you made something in life, even if it is still a collector piece under the display window. In a way, it would even be a shame to end all his with an affordable axe.

So I don't know really. As it's like not to change any time soon, I adapt to the situation and accept the fact that any MK Signature guitar = a truckload of money.
