Fender 'Mark Knopfler' Signature Series Stratocaster (0117800-815) - Owners list

[Knopflerfan]

Sold for £1,900.00p!

Of course, because even Mark himself wouldn't buy it for other than 2000 pounds or dollars whatever. Selling it over 2K is theft.

MKs Fender Signature Strats on some occasions have sold for in excess of £2000.00p, I guess it's whoever is wanting one at the time and also what price they are willing to pay for one - each to their own in my eyes..
Since the cease of production there has been a steady rise in the price of these lovely collectible guitars.

I just for fun spec'd an "MK strat" on the Warmoth guitar parts website - swamp ash body, maple/rosewood neck, nitro paint, Gotoh vintage bridge, vintage styling, Seymour Duncan pickups (Alnico II), etc.

1093 USD for the guitar, plus 135 USD for UPS shipping to the UK, i.e. 1227 USD or 938 GBP. I suppose EU customs duties would come on top of that though.

[Knopflerfan]

Yes indeed there would be nice Customs charge on top and you would be paying for the knowledge it wasn't a genuine MK Strat.....When a few hundred pounds more would secure you one....

[Knopflerfan]

Some more 'realisation' prices for a couple of MK Strats that were sold recently on Fleabay....

SE05401 - Sold on the 9th April 2019 for £1,450.00p
SE01015 - Sold on the 30th March 2019 for £1,300.00p (Originally up for £1,450.00p)

I think that we all should remind that fender is a mass guitar and industrial product and designed as it.

The real value of a Fender, unless you get a real vintage that has been cared after, is the brand.

They are what they are, basically good instrument, but let be serious unless Mark decides to let one of the specially built for him, a MK signature is not an exceptional piece of art.

OK for business better it is to have the Fender brand on your neck but you can get as good axes from other manufacturers, and if you can put some extra money get way better build than their "custom shop" by one of the many stringed instrument maker on the market.

This is what he is asking for.

I like the mention he put below : PRICE TOO HIGH?? EMAIL ME AN OFFER!

That is saying it all.

The Point I was trying to make was that for me owning a couple of 'MK' Signature Strats mean's a great deal to me and I'm sure to the others who own them on this forum.
Totally agree with you that a 'Custom Shop' Strat would be most probably far superior with regards build but it just wouldn't be an MK Inspired guitar to me......
