Mark Knopfler’s Gibson SG Standard

Mark played this guitar occasionally during the Love Over Gold tour in 1982/83, and for the song “Two Young Lovers”.

Not much is known about the guitar, unfortunately. It appears to be highly modified since it’s a SG Standard model with 3-pickups, which is not something you’ll find on factory models. You can find them nowadays, but this is most likely, based on the body shape, a vintage 60s model.
