@awbennen For sure a strat, very likely a Fender, and if a Fender, my bet is that it is either the 1961 Fiesta Red one or the 1965 Olympic White one. Search the Internet for Ingo Raven Mark Knopfler guitars. He knows A LOT about the topic.
does anyone know the normal version of this song with the video presenting old images of silvertown?plsss cause I can t find it anymore. I watched it about 5 months ago.
I enjoy the sound distinctiveness of his quitar...Mark is so underrated, he is too modest and does not like being forefront....one of the best musicians, anyway. Thanks for posting it.
Anybody any idea on which guitar(s?) he's playing this song (not the original but this live-version)?

This is one of my favourite songs by Mark...such a shame he never plays it live, maybe he just doesn't enjoy playing it.
