Bob Dylan & Mark Knopfler, Great Encore!, Forever Young.wmv

About Mark's original Strat:

The guitar had a white plastic pickguard (original would be a greenish-white celluloid guard), and the volume poti was moved towards the bridge (possibly to have more space for resting those two fingers). There is no information available about the pick-ups installed.

Mark's friend Steve Philips (of the Notting Hillbillies) once told me he remembers that Mark gave this guitar to a luthier called Sam Lee (or Sam Li?) in Soho for these modifications.

Often Mark put the complete pickguard - including electronics and pick-ups - of his other Fender Stratocaster on this guitar, so he swapped the pickguards to have the greenish-white board (the one with the black volume knob) on that Strat which he prefered for a particular tour (see my blog article Early Dire Straits: Which of the two red Fenders was used in which concert? for more information on this matter)

You can hear this guitar on album one and on Communique, and you can see it in the videos of Sultans of Swing, Wild West End, Lady Writer or on many other videos (e.g. Rockpalast) or pictures from 1977-1979. It can be considered as Mark's main live axe in the early days. According to all pictures I have seen from this period, he played this guitar on about 60-70% of the concerts, and maybe on 30-40% his other red Strat (Note that he did not change the guitar between songs as he does today, instead he favoured one for a particular leg of a tour and had the other as backup!)

In 1982 the neck was replaced with a Schecter one-piece maple neck. It is confirmed that Mark does not have this guitar anymore, it seems it was auctioned for a charity
