New Guitar
« on: May 12, 2017, 12:21:22 PM »
On Twitter on 3rd May it was announced Mark had a new guitar.  It is a rather handsome Pensa Custom MK90, similar basic body to the KOG guitar.  Surely it will find it's way onto the new album.

I wonder where the sense is in this really... it's all endorsement and nothing else one might think.. Set list decisions made under endorsement aspects... Telegraph Road Pensa Song... as if he hasn't enough great electric guitars already... remember that blue one from 2011 which he used on Song For Sonny Liston?  Never seen again...

He also received two identical Pensa guitars for KOG.  Don't really see the point in that when he could go into the shop and order one.  I think he's a closet collector even though he doesn't admit it!  ;)

It is an honour for the brands to give him Signature guitars or exclusive ones of course... but at the same time his electric playing on his albums is reduced more and more... his enthusiasm for the new Gibson however give me hope to hear him play stuff like Playtime Deluxe again maybe..

Maybe his goal is to have a single guitar for every single song he writes...  ;D

Thanks for the pictures. Stupid question from me: Do those two guitars have the same colour and is it a "sunlight/photography" thing that they look different or ARE they actually differently coloured?
Greenish/blue-ish?  ::)
