Mark Knopfler purchased this acoustic guitar from Rudolph Prankl of Guitar Relics of N.Y. Inc. in Bethpage, New York, in October 2005. Snapped for his online studio diaries, Knopfler's 1960s acoustic was photographed by keyboardist and album co-producer Guy Fletcher as one of a group of guitars used during album recording sessions at British Grove Studios in 2008-9. The Hummingbird was used by guitarist Richard Bennett to record the bonus track 'The Living End', expected for release on a deluxe edition of Knopfler’s tenth solo studio album in 2024. From time to time, Knopfler kept this guitar in his study for home use.
