Additional info |
This is the original Silvertone 1452
model, introduced in 1966 and retired in 1968. 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. |

Manufactured by Subway Guitars, USA.
This guitar is made up in California from 1960's Danelectro parts
and are a real bargain at just $400. Mark Knopfler has one too. I
don't have a photo of Mark playing this guitar and the pictures
shown on the left is also not Mark's actual guitar, but a similar
model.
