Very good! As your guitar is only numbered two from one of mine I am wondering if you have a manufactured date from Fender at all? Be very interesting to know any date differences??

Keep looking on ebay etc - one will turn up. Not aware of anyone selling, besides there are a few on here already after an MK......

I actually seen MK Strat last week in Rome, when I was on holiday, it was just a vintage guitar store in old town, it was 2003 one with wrong colour and really low serial number, something like #00300, so search and you will find one literally anywhere in the world, especially in UK :)

UPD: Here's the picture:

Not mine, but this example should be a bit ahead of all the others out there:

"Todd Krause is the Fender Masterbuilder who actually builds Mark Knopfler's personal instruments and this guitar is built to the exact specifications that Mark uses."

Thanks chaps but it's really tricky to find one anywhere - the gbase guitar is stupidly priced but even so I would be willing to spend a goodly sum to have one. Please let me know if you find one, pref with a brown case - many thanks once again

This is bizarre.

Supposedly they have stopped making this model but you can still order from the custom shop? And the specs are exactly the same?

There is another one out on Gbase.com. Go there!

Also check out reverb.com as an alternative.

Obviously being made on an individual basis should anyone require one, but I would rather opt for an older one personally. No difference with regards spec either.....

Mmmm that 64 looks lovely. The Dakota looks like it would fade to that vintage Fiesta, but they're all different those old nitro ones eh?
Hey, i`ve got a truffle dog - finally a song the ordinary man can relate too!
