I guess the seller is banking on some rich collectors / fans out there for whom money is no object, so why not, I guess. For that money though you can get a Fender Custom Shop Strat with the same features, just better built.

You can it's true but it won't be a Knopfler....

Well, if the specs are identical, built by the same company, it is. It just doesn't have the signature. (But built by a Custom Shop team, it will be nicer than a Knopfler signature Strat.) These silly prices are only about limited supply and high demand.

Pays your money takes your choice my friend. I know what I'd rather have....

Heads up Danish people!

Looks as if a real fine example is up for grabs.

16500 DKK equals to circa GBP 1890 or EUR 2220.

Wow, good find!! Looks like SE08350?? Which would make it a late 2010/11 edition.... Reasonable price too

Looking at the current list and deducing the date from SE08189 from October 2010. Of course Fender will prove the actual date...

Good find! I wish them well selling it at that price....There may well be someone willing to pay it?!

Again, the price only makes sense for collectors and fans, and as with everything else in a free market economy, it all depends on supply and demand.


But the seller writes that Mark is supposed to have been involved in selecting the wood. I doubt it, but does anyone know?
