Beautifully done catalog. Much of the text is recycled from old interviews, but there's a lot of new text and photos as well. I really like that John Suhr was given due credit.

This book is a real Must Have! Absolute phantastic. So much to read, so many great pictures. Does anyone already received a physical copy?

LE

I believe the physical copies are due to be dispatched in January.

Oh I wasn't aware of that, thank you!

I guess that makes sense that the physical copies will be available in January and cannot wait to recieve my copy. I should expect them to be available well before the viewing dates.
I am incidentally going to the viewing on the 20th January at Christies to view these unique instruments for the last time...

Yeah, Christies will make a good deal out of this so their efforts are worthwhile for them.

My copy arrived (I live in Italy) some minutes ago!!!

Mine is stuck in Valencia's custom office. They are demanding me proof of what I bought and the payment.

Since Brexit, the custom office is hunger for taxes.

Didn't notice this part of text by MK in the Christie's pdf:

( ) Here I must introduce a lifelong friend and fellow guitar maniac, Rudy Pensa, whom I first met
in his (then) tiny music store, Rudy’s Music Stop on 48th Street over forty years ago. Rudy was
a recent arrival in New York from Argentina. We became great friends and drew the first MK
Pensa Suhr guitar together on a napkin in Fritzel’s Coffee Shoppe on 48th. Now Rudy’s Music in
Soho is the most beautiful guitar store I’ve ever seen and Rudy has sourced me many fabulous
instruments over the years. I’m so glad he will be with me in London to be a part of this sale -
Rudy's enthusiasm and love for all guitars is totally infectious: if you see him or his daughter
Stephanie (also extremely knowledgeable) do try to say hello. ( )

I understand he will be during the sale and Rudy and his daughter the previous days, as he says if we see them, say Hi...

Presumably Fritzel's coffee shop was hand made.

[Knopflerfan]

It arrived today and first impressions are it's blooming heavy and outstanding!

Looks fantastic.
