What red would we call the Schecter he used in the 80s?

looks like Candy Apple Red to me. Note the metallic color appearance.

All shades of Classic Fender red are awesome

Please don't forget Cimarron Red (in between Fiesta and Dakota) as well as Candle Apple Red (metallic colour). There is also Torino Red which is relatively close to Hot Rod, but less pinkish. A prominent user of a Torino Red Strat is Pete Townshend. Torino is 80s lipstick red, so a very juicy, full shade of red, less dark then Dakota Red, no orange-greenish-salmon hue like Fiesta Red.

Then, there is the Mark Knopfler color on the 1961 Strat which I tried to name a while ago as Rosso Corsa (vintage Ferrari Red). I would love Fender to come up with a Masterbuilt version of the 1961 Strat with that color. Mark's 1961 is super odd in terms of looks because it the lacquer is new and shiny and the rest is vera old (yellowed plastics, yellowed lacquer)

I think that Strat is the one MK bought in wood finish and was painted by Steve Phillips in red.

David Knopfler also bought a Fender in wood finish that also Steve Phillips painted in black.

I didn't know it was Steve Philips!!! Cool!!! The old "red" of the Knopfler Strat (pre mid 90s) was more Fiesta. After the relacquering it became this Rosso Corsa type of color...

I love how Mark's managers look like nightclub bouncers.

My almost 'local' music shop in Moscow sells Martin HD-40MK #228: https://skifmusic.ru/product/474168-akusticheskaya-gitara-martin-hd-40mk-mark-knopfler-signature-edition-228-natural-usa?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=skifmusiclive&utm_content=eT3Q98OyFTY

Though the price is truly insane, they ask 3 million rubles for it (40,000$), half the price of a new 1 room apartment in Saint Petersburg.

Would you buy it for 40,000?

If I was worth £20 million, yes.
