Mark Knopfler is confirmed to use the Gibson J-50 1947-1954, as he purchased this guitar through Pete Townshend’s late guitar technician Alan Rogan in the late 1980s. He utilized the J-50 during the recording sessions for Dire Straits' "On Every Street" in November 1990 at London’s AIR Studios, specifically on the tracks "The Bug" and "Iron Hand," the latter being a live take. Additionally, in December 1993, Knopfler recorded the acoustic part for "Nobody’s Got the Gun" from his 1996 album "Golden Heart" with the J-50 at AIR Lyndhurst Hall. He continued to employ the J-50 for the title track of "Metroland" and several unreleased recordings, including outtakes from the albums "Get Lucky" and "Privateering."
