A red Baldwin Burns Double Six solid electric 12-string guitar that was lent to Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler in the mid-’70s – and not returned for over five decades – is set to fetch more than $40,000 at auction.
The guitar was lent to the Dire Straits guitarist by his old friend, Jeff Sadler, who also played guitar for a couple of bands in the Northeast of England, including the folk-rock band Lindisfarne.
