This N.S. Phillips is a masterfully crafted guitar, built by Steve Phillips. Mark Knopfler is a well known player of N.S. Phillips' pieces and this example was actually purchased by the legendary Tony Joe White from Knopfler. White can be seen playing this guitar in the documentary Tina. It remains in excellent shape with our in-house repair team recently glueing up four cracks on either side of the pickguard and fingerboard extension. There's light player wear and a few finish dings to note otherwise. Includes hard shell case (broken handle).
