Wow, very cool. Nice to hear these guitars played in a style and with a tone that are not associated with Mark.

This seems like a bargain compared to some of the Christies stuff.

What a beautiful instrument!
I can't remember ever seeing it before. Did he ever play it in public? Those red dots are something you would normally remember.
It really hurts a bit to see it going, because it's not a working tool but a personal gift from Chet.

Edit: At first I thought he was selling his OBE!

If anyone's still interested in a MK-used six-string ;-) :

I will not buy this guitar. It is scratched. 

Nice instrument, though. There's another one on that site, a 58 MK custom LP for 27,000 euros.

Never heard about a 79 Les Paul related to MK.

Yeah I’d be looking for some providence on this one.

Isn’t it the one from the Love Over Gold sessions?
