Talking with my dear friend Brunno Nunes, i ask him is he can choose only 2 guitars from the MK Auction, wht would be his choices.
So i extended the question here.
I put a list with some guitars the already were showed and others that i believe will be auctioned.
Money is not the problem.
Just pick 2.

Haha! Great idea, but who said Mark is selling the white Schecter though? ;)

I believe so.
I don't think that MK will use that guitar anymore.
-
Good idea, dear friend! ;)
As I had talked to you, I would choose the Pensa MK I because of its historical importance, it was in the emblematic Mandela tribute show in 1988, tours with Clapton, OES tour, in short... An imposing guitar aesthetically and historically.
My second choice would be the 1983 Les Paul, for the same reasons, it was used to record MFN, one of the greatest riffs in the history of Rock, it was on the legendary nights at Wembley 85, Live AID, and for me it is the best sound for MFN and BIA, aesthetically I think it's very pretty, much more so than the Les Paul 58/59.
If there was a third option, I would choose the Pensa R (So Far Away), it has always been a curious guitar for me, I have a fetish for it, as well as being a unique and beautiful piece.

Pensa MK1. The definite guitar for the OES tour fan. Though I am the proud owner of a Suhr Carved Top replica, that's the real thing. Having in your hands the guitar that sang all these solos through all over the world. is just WOW.
Schecter Telecaster: I find that guitar really rad, even though I am not a Telecaster fan by any means.
Of course, if the white partscaster is there, that would become choice Nº 2 right away.

I have a Made in Brazil Pensa Black copy with some modifications that i prefer.
Like a fixed hardtail bridge and a EMG 81 instead the 85.
The guitar is a beast.
I put my hands on a Suhr like the one that you have. Its a very impressive guitar.

It’s almost impossible to choose. Five would be an easier task: white strat, signature strat, red Schecter strat, MK1 and 58 burst.

I really like my Schecter guitars. I think I would pick one of the Schecters and 59 LP.

I almost not listed the MK1 and the 59' LP because i was pretty sure that these two will be the most voted.
Maybe, without these two, the pool would be more interesting.

I had these two chosen and for these same reasons before reading your post!

I voted for the Pensa MK1
I'm in love with that guitar since first time i saw it.
I am a big fn of EMGs as well.
My onter vote was the Black Tele (with the original black pickguard)
This black tele always fascinated me.

Same here! ;D

I’m amazed that I’m one of the few people who went for the Horner. So significant to his journey.

I think people here are interest in guitars for playing live.
The Hofner is a guitar to put in a museum.

My choice went to Gibson 83' LP (BIA Guitar) and Fender/Schecter White Strat.
-
I would like the red Schecter, and wonder if the Erlewine Automatic from Industrial Disease is in the auction, he hasn't used it in ages and I'd like to have it as well.

For some reason I really like the white Schecter Partscaster... And I don't even know why. I feel like Mark loves it too and won't sell it, but who knows. So I would pick this one for sure, again, don't ask why because I don't know myself. For the second guitar, it's tempting to go with major ones, the versatility of Pensa would surely suit me as I don't have a lot of guitars to say the least, but I absolutely love how the blonde Gibson 335 looks and sounds, so probably this one.
UPD: Scratch that, I would take The Ragpicker's Dream Martin as it's more fun for me strumming songs than playing leads anyway.

Yes, my choices are his very first guitar because that very same reason, and the Pensa Shur because is his iconic main guitar when I became fan of him, after the Mandela gig.

I was thinking about this guitar, too. ;D
