As you are all probably aware, I am very keen indeed on the Fender 'MK' Signature Series Stratocaster - so much so that I am lucky enough to now own two of them - SE00616 & SE03805 (originally I owned four!)
I am curious as to how many other AMIT members own one (or two even!)
Therefore I would like to create a 'Register' of Serial Numbers & Owners/Locations so we can all see where in the world some of them live!

    Fender 'Mark Knopfler' Signature Series Stratocaster - Part No. 0117800-815 (July 2003 - March 2013) (Fender say that 2,400 were manufactured in total)

SE01997 ordered on line from a UK dealer in early November 2005. (A 50th Birthday present to myself)
Delivered Jan 2006.

This guitar had not been put together at the time I ordered it - see the date (11/22/05) on the inspection sticker.
and if you look at the inside edge of the lower horn you can see the fist ding I put it while taking the scratch plate off ! :smack

When you point your finger 'cause your plan fell through you've got 3 more fingers pointing back at you.

Interesting pic. I've never had the scratchplate off mine, wonder if I have a sticker too.

There's only one way to tell  . . .    ;D ( easy enough to do when you next change strings) . Just don't drop the scratchplate end-on onto the guitar !   Having said that, I expect they all should have the stickers

I like it very much, it's taken me 10 years to put together.

DMG

I would look at something else for next Xmas, Valve (tube) amps are expensive to maintain, I changed the caps and valves
in Sept 13 at a cost of $4500.00 and I did the work myself. (the amps are $32K new)

Guys, what if I buy not a whole MK strat, but just MK-strat neck (which is magnificent) and body according to my choices, I'll can't make in this list? :)
