Shown here is a Pensa Custom MK-1 built during 1995 in New York City by Rudy Pensa. The MK designation stands for Mark Knopfler. The original MK model was designed by Pensa and Knopfler to create a guitar capable of sounding like the 1961 Strat and 1958 Les Paul Knopfler was using on stage, allowing him to use only one guitar.
Instruments
The Martin 0-17 has at least two major distinctions, as one of Martin’s oldest defined styles, and their first production steel string model. Martin’s Style 17 first appeared in 1874 as a fairly plain model, and was discontinued from 1898 to 1906.
The Fender Mustang was added to the Fender program in 1964 and was aimed at starter and intermediate guitar players. The model evolved from the Musicmaster and Duo-Sonic student models and had a similar body shape, short 22.5″ or 24 inch scale length neck and pickup(s).

MORE →The Gibson ES-339 was built from 2007 until the Gibson Memphis plant closed in 2019, and the 339 is now built in Nashville with some small changes. In 1996, Gibson launched the short-lived ES-336, a scaled-down version of the classic ES-335. This model retained the key playability elements of the 335 in terms of scale length, fingerboard width and hardware selection.
