Martin Mark Knopfler model

[TBoneDeluxe]

Has anyone seen and/or played one of these? Any insight appreciated.

I have #3/251, the only one in the Martin Dark 30s Burst. It's a Cannon of a guitar, loud and commanding; a flatpickers dream.
The neck is reminiscent of a 30s National, large rounded V shape, special bracing and one of the only Martin's with Italian Alpine Spruce Top. Mark specified extra large frets almost like a Fender bass. The appointments especially the 1850s design rosette is striking. The headstock has the older traditional Martin script inlay in MOP, looks very classy.

The artwork on Mark's latest release "Ragpicker's Dream"
is that of the HD40MK rosette and guitar face.
If you're used to playing a 000 or 0M, this will take some getting use to, but once you have the hang you wouldn't put it away.

I guess you can't post pics here like on the LPF. Here's a link to the Martin HD40MK.

Here's a couple of other Martins I have.

Martin J42
D40 (confused badly on this one, could it be a Huss & Dalton?)

The correct answers are:

00042ECB
0M42 SB
