Mark Knopfler a Genius, Always was, Always will Be.
Hi thankyou for a great web site, all very interesting!!!
I recently purchased a full set of F400 schecter pickups. They have the white paper around them. Do you have any idea of the year they were made? Any info you can give me is much appreciated.
Kind regards
Steve
