I may be wrong but whilst Knopfler was cetainly a very early user of Pensa Suhr I think John Suhr had made a few custom guitars before one was given to Knopfler. Regardless hey are stil lovely guitars.

Some of them look really nice. But who could afford one? Especially this one. blink.gif

You are quite correct Tony. He had built a few before Mark's one was built.

I'd rather have one of John Suhr's latest creations, whilst they may not be made completely by his hand, I have a feeling that he has made improvements over the years in terms of quality and playability
