Mark Knopfler's sum total of acoustic guitar preferences are realized in the Martin HD-40MK Mark Knopfler Signature Edition. This dreadnought beauty starts with a solid East Indian rosewood back with sides made of bookmatched Italian alpine spruce and X-braces positioned pre-war style--only one inch from the soundhole. The jumbo frets provide a higher action on an ebony fingerboard and ebony is used again in the belly bridge. Other Knopfler touches include: white inlaid black bridge pins; beveled and polished tortoise-colored pickguard; and a bone nut and saddle. You also will see Mark's signature between the 17th and 20th fret and his picture on the neck block.

Complete with a Geib™ hardshell case, each HD-40MK Mark Knopfler Signature Edition has an interior label signed by Mark and C.F. Martin IV with sequential numbering showing total produced.
