headstock, the neck plate stamped DG and engraved Electra Jet /
#3202, the body of a metallic grey finish. Don Grosh gifted this Electrajet to Mark Knopfler in May 2014. Just a few months prior, Knopfler had remarked to Vintage Guitar magazine that the Grosh guitar had caught his favour: 'I really like the Grosh Electrajet – it’s a great guitar.' As mentioned by Knopfler’s guitar tech Glenn Saggers in Guitarist magazine (issue 392, April 2015), Mark owned two Electrajets – a white model and the present metallic grey example. Guitarist Richard Bennett used this Electrajet to record Nobody does that for Knopfler’s solo studio album Down the road wherever, proceeding to play the guitar for live performances of the song on the subsequent Down the road wherever tour in 2019.
This guitar was auctioned at Christie's in London on 31st January 2024. It was sold for 47.880 Pounds. |
