PENSA MK1 REDWOOD
WITH OLD FENDER TWEED HARD CASE
I HAVE PUT THIS DOWN AS A REDWOOD BUT I DONT KNOW FOR CERTAIN THATS WHAT IT IS
WE DONT HAVE THE SPEC OF THIS BUILD
REDWOOD IS A PARTICULAR FAVOURITE OF MK
WHEN HE HAD THE BIG AUCTION OF HIS EQUIPMENT A REDWOOD TOPPED PENSA WAS LISTED FOR SALE BUT WAS WITHDRAWN BY MARK ALONG WITH AN MK2
WHAT WE DO KNOW, IT WAS BUILT BY THE LEGEND MAS HINO (SEE THE LAST TWO PICS) AND IS SIGNED AND DATED DEC ‘94
MAS IS CONSIDERED UP THERE WITH THE BEST BUILDERS IN THE PENSA HISTORY BOOKS AND RIGHTLY SO HIS GUITAR BUILDS CARRY A PREMIUM
IT ALSO HAS A BOUND FINGERBOARD AND HEADSTOCK JUST LIKE MR KNOPFLERS
THIS IS NO LONGER OFFERED AS AN OPTION TODAY
THIS PARTICULAR PENSA, ALONG WITH THE OTHER WE HAVE FOR SALE, WAS ORIGINALLY OWNED BY FRIEND OF MARK KNOPFLER, ANDRE DE MOLLER, HENCE THE AM SERIAL NUMBER
INTERESTINGLY THE HUMBUCKERS HAVE PATENT APPLIED FOR STICKERS ON THEM
IM CLASSING THEM AS REPROS AND NOT ADDING A PREMIUM TO THE ASKING PRICE
NOT SURE WHAT THE SINGLE COIL PICKUP IN THE MIDDLE IS
THIS IS, AS YOU WOULD EXPECT, A VERY SPECIAL INSTRUMENT
IT PLAYS BRILLIANTLY AND SOUNDS SUPERB
THE LOOKS ARE TO DIE FOR, ITS DEFINITELY A LOOKER
ITS IN GREAT CONDITION
YES THERES A FEW DINGS HERE AND THERE, ITS BEEN GIGGED
THE FINISH IS SINKING INTO THE WOOD
BUT MY DOES IT HAVE CHARACTER
