Dakota Red is another great color! Coming from 60s automotive colors from the US. Strat colors are all sharp. You need to have them all.

Coming back to Rosso Corsa:
Here is a Ferrari in Rosso Corsa. Automotive color Rosso Corsa Ferrari 322

I have also found a Strat in that color. Looks quite similar to Marks to me... what do you guys think?

Finally after many many many years I am entitled to join this prestigious society.  :)

SE12199 in PRI-STI-NE condition. Basically case kept during the years. Not scratch not a mark on it. Except for Mark's name itself.  ;D

I am sooo happy today  :)

Congratulations BR. I will have great honour in adding you to this select list!!! Oooh a 12xxx - one of the last ones....Black case?? Have you emailed Fender, with regards month/year of manufacture?

Thanks! Yes, it's a black case.

No, to which email address should it be?

Got it.

Forgive me if this is breaking the forum rules, but is anyone selling an MK strat?

I think that's the thread for such requests, I usually just post here the link to a nice MK strat if I happen to see one. Sometimes it's something ridiculous like 3-5 grand for a strat, sometimes somebody would just want to pass it as a guitar and not a museum piece and give it a reasonable price.

There are multiple for sale right now but none is ok for me

https://www.mercatinomusicale.com/mm/a_fender-stratocaster-mark-knopfler-anno-2002-originale-americana_id6646609.html
Clearly messed with because you see the pickup covers are too bright for the pickguard (I guess not aged white but rather white or eggshell) and at the truss rod somebody made an indent into the pickguard.

https://www.mercatinomusicale.com/mm/a_fender-stratocaster-signature-mark-knopfler_id6468706.html
overpriced and with multiple lacquer damages.

https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/mark-knopfler-signatur-stratocaster-fender-dreammachine-sc-pus-/1462371163-74-55
looks ok but it has a new pickguard assembly on it, while the old one is with the guitar. Not sure the case is original either.

https://www.projectmusic.net/fender-mark-knopfler-stratocaster-hot-rod-red-2004-pre-owned-30215-p.asp
ridiculous price considering the dings and dongs.

Now is not a good moment to buy because it is a seller's market. People are in lock down, bored, so they buy guitars.
https://www.nme.com/en_asia/news/music/fender-to-sell-more-guitars-in-2020-than-any-other-year-in-history-2750450

If you need one, bite the bullet and get a Custom Shop one. will be a couple hundred Euro more expensive but a much better Strat overall.

Amazing... Putting a Schecter Dream Machine controls on a MK Strat, that's like, I don't know... How about putting a Thule roof rack on a Ferrari? Looks as out of place as it possibly can.

How crazy the guy should be to modify Signature Strat anyway? It's called Signature because you don't want to change it :lol :lol :lol

I won't buy anything from a man who can do this to this guitar.

This example is even worst
change the color for candy apple red , did a matching headstock making the Fender and Mark Knopfler signature lost for ever...
Pickguard is not stock either....

Bought mine with original case for 1600 euros , so keep eyes open and figers crossed ,  you might get lucky now and then
