Just a note to emphasise if you have any doubts about buying the catalogue then please don't. Yes  it is expensive, but it's the best publication I've read on Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler, through the lens of guitars.  So much detail in here. My friend had to nudge me into it but so glad I picked up a copy when visiting the acutionhouse.

I agree. I received it last Friday and it’s phenomenal.

Welp, there goes that workday 

I was thinking the same, with all the info about the new record and the virtual tour, plus preparing the travel to London, I don't know how could I be able to concentrate at work the remaining of the week!

With mistakes... They have swapped at least 3 Gibsons...

[Dutchessy]

The 300-500K Gibson 59 was standing on the platform in the center.. In the Virtual tour it's hanging on the MFN spot. And the MFN guitar is swapped with another Gibson (1985)

Paul Sexton interviews John Illsley tonight at 7pm at Christies.  Rudy Pensa at 8:15.  Portobello Gin tasting too!

Visited Christie's today. I really enjoyed some time with all these guitars. Even those guitars, which have toured a lot are in a very good shape.

Today the 1985 LP reissue was alone in the Money for nothing chamber. 

Two Soldano amp heads still had the latest presets on.

The staff there is very nice, I guess they are used to people with money. However, the free coffee was the most suitable thing for me...
