"A Strat was a thing of wonder .. when I was 14 or 15, the Shadows were a big influence, and they had the first Strats that came to England. I like to play all kinds of guitars, but I wasn't getting the sound I really wanted until I got a Stratocaster" - Mark Knopfler - Guitar - Dire Straits
So why is he playing a Gibson and other guitars on stage these day?
Let's get the man a Rickenbacker.

Not sure if that counts, but i like that quote from an interview with the Searchers in 1966. Says John McNally: "I'm not really worried. I was happy at my job as a semi-skilled engineer, and although I'd like a business of my own some day, I don't care if I end up back at my old job, because I was happy in that."
BTW, i'd easily give my Ric as a present to Mark Knopfler, i'm sure he'd make better use of it than i, and that'd be a great honor for me, too.
