Few musicians have shaped rock history like Mark Knopfler—hailed by Rolling Stone as one of the 50 greatest guitarists of all time. As the driving force behind Dire Straits, his legendary guitar work and songwriting have captivated audiences worldwide.

Mark was first introduced to Butch Boswell's guitars late in 2020 by his friend Rudy Pensa, after Butch had built a run of 11 all-mahogany "0" size guitars. The moment Mark Knopfler picked up the gifted Boswell guitar, he knew it was something special. The rich, warm tone resonated with him so deeply that he used it to record Tunnel 13, a standout track on One Deep River—and soon, he had to have another.

The idea to build a model that incorporated all the things Mark loved from his two Boswell guitars soon followed—combining the little "0" size mahogany guitar with the Tunnel redwood for the top, and a Tyne Bridge fret inlay, thus creating the 0-14MK/TR-LTD.

This is the final guitar in an ultra-limited run—#24 of just 24 ever made. Personally signed by Mark Knopfler and authenticated by legendary luthier Butch Boswell and collector Rudy Pensa, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a true piece of music history. Also included: a One Deep River album box set, signed by Mark himself.
