On stage, Mark used it to play Donegan's gone, Right now, Corned beef city and Miss you blues.

Vintage Guitar magazine (February 2014) published a nice photo of this guitar.

The logo Danelectro applied at the headstock, the finish of a black colour.


Mark Knopfler purchased this guitar in August 2004 via bassist Glenn Worf. Knopfler’s guitar tech Glenn Saggers told that, once purchased, every guitar would spend time in Mark’s hands so he could get an idea of the sound and where a particular guitar might fit in a particular song.

This guitar was tried during the recording process, yet never made it on to a record. From time to time, Knopfler kept this guitar in his study for home use.

Acquired in 2003, Mark Knopfler used this guitar extensively during recording of his fourth solo studio album Shangri-La.

This is the Silvertone 1452 model. In an interview, Mark said: "I got into these guitars in a big way through knowing Mike Henderson. The last time I played with him in a Nashville club, women danced on the tables.”

Mark used this in the studio for Boom, like that (Shangri-La 2004), Stand up guy (Shangri-La 2004), Don't crash the ambulance (Shangri-La 2004). On the Shangri-La tour in 2005, he used it on stage to play Boom, like that.
