There's this unidentified one.  Seems unused yet so another song should appear in the set before long (fingers crossed).

This looks like a 360 to me, but I'm not sure  :hmm

Rickenbacker 360 BBR (readable on my Litho picture)

There is another 'new' guitar on the Litho, a burns double six from 2006.

But the real question is, for which song will he use it?  ;)

He plays a beltona resonator guitar in "heart full of holes"
You might get lucky, now and then

Thx, missed that one.

I'm surprised he uses the Beard this time in stead of that iconic National Style "O" '37

I don't think so - because it looks more modern and as far as I can see has not the slotted headstock - but maybe I'm wrong.

I think it's the Froggy Bottom he used for Get Lucky in the studio.
If i was a Fender guitar, Fender painted red...

That would be the Froggy Bottom H-14 DLX ? Without the scratchplate

I’m really curious about his amp setup this tour!

I think they use something like Kemper Profiling amps, because you cannot see any amp nor cabinets for amps. I can recall guy telling that they used modern techniques in the ken bruce show and that he couldn't tell us exactly what it is because it is part of the touring rig (or something like that).

It is a possibility but they also can be hidden as it was the case for the OES tour.
I have a little difficulty with the idea that Mark would not use genuine valve amps on stage.

Maybe, but the one Mark has is custom made so I don't know if there is any product number e.g.

Well it is a Froggy Bottom hence the headstock. I think the customisation for Mark is the removal of the scratchplate and maybe the electronics are different. Modelwise the H14-DLX resembles it the most so I've put it in the opening post till someone says otherwise  ;D ;)
