This guitar was presented to Mark Knopfler by Ken Haas from Reverend Guitars after the show in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on 27th April 2010, during Knopfler's Get Lucky tour. Richard Bennett and Guy Fletcher got one too. Often presented with guitars on tour, Knopfler told : 'I always try to see them, always try to play ‘em, and always gave them a fair shake because, you know, you realise what a thing you’ve taken on if you want to build something, and build something well.' The guitar was tried for slide during the recording process at British Grove Studios, although ultimately did not make it onto a record. This guitar was auctioned at Christie's in London on 31st January 2024. It was sold for 27.720 Pounds. |

On the Tracker tour, Mark again met Ken
Haas of Reverend guitars in Ann Arbor, 4th October 2015. Guy Fletcher
said in his diary: Ken dropped by to show us a few goodies in the
ultra-cramped backstage areas. Mark was seen running his fingers over a
Descent H90 Baritone. Unsure to me if they also handed Mark this guitar, but it looks like it. On the picture Ken Haas with Mark Knopfler. Click here for another picture. |
