That Steinberger is worth easily twice that on the street, 4x since it's Knopfler's.

Oh man.

A good time to be Jim Irsay…. Because I’m not getting any of those being me!

Nah, they’re all used.

 

[Dixiethedog]

I might see if I can afford a plectrum. Or maybe some dust from one of the guitar cases. The auction catalogue is £40.

Oh ya, the boy can play. Was able to see Dire Straits once in 80’s. Fantastic show. Can’t afford the guitars though.

Would love to try that Steinberger model....

 

[Tonedeaf]

Hate to suggest such a downer, but could this mean he's not well?

 

[Fro68]

My opinion. I think it means he’s getting old and feels the need to downsize so his family doesn’t have to deal with it.
Happens to all of us.

 

[Dave Merrill]

Or maybe, he doesn't feel he needs all that.

I hope that he is OK, but I thought his right hand looked a bit shaky in one part of the video. He was shaking his hand like an old man.

Yes, saw a vid this week on youtube with Bonnie Raitt live....to me it looked like he`s having trouble with the coordination of his right hand and he recognized it while playing. Really hope that this is not that serious....

Mark's an amazing, legendary guitar player, hope he's OK. Time catches up with us all eventually.
