Christie’s is set to auction off over 120 guitars and amps from the collection of music legend Mark Knopfler, with 25% of the proceeds going to charities including The British Red Cross, Tusk, and Brave Hearts of the North East. The collection spans Knopfler's 50-year career and features guitars used for Dire Straits, solo albums, and film soundtracks. Knopfler expressed his passion for guitars and the bittersweet decision to part with some of his treasured instruments, while a limited-edition catalogue will be published to accompany the auctions.
