What a weird fact that he did not play TOL with hislegendary  Schecter Sunburst and played it with The Pensa instead.

He played with the pensa and cut out 3 Schecters( red, brown/white and sunburst) , a les paul,  and a fender red.

He played the Pensa for the first time at Prince Trust before mandela 1988

Mark probably had some preference for the mk1 or Rudy Pensa and John Suhr offered him a deal to play it.

I think not that weird given the fact that the idea to design the Pensa Suhr MK1 was to replace as many different guitars as possible (incl. Fenders and Gibsons) with only one versatile guitar.

96 he played the LP on the "full" Going Home. Great thick sound.

Interestingly he used the red Schecter on the Night In London show.  Perhaps the small studio setting or arrangement with the Electra Strings had something to do with the decision.

or maybe beacuse it was not yet linked to Long Highway :think
