Titolo: Pensa Suhr MK1 (Lunghetto ma interessante)

Ciao a tutti.
Ho fatto una ricerca nel web per capire quanto potrebbe
costare farsi costruire la migliore chitarra usata
 da Mark Knopfler (sono parole sue): la Pensa Suhr MK1
ebbene, dal momento che le teorie in materia erano parecchio discordi
(si parlava anche di 15/20 milioni su alcuni thread),
mi sono dato da fare e ho contattato John Suhr in persona;
Eccovi il testo delle mail, a voi trarre le conclusioni:

Dear Mr. Suhr,
I'm Arturo Dinatale and I'm writing from Italy;
I'm strongly attracted by the incredible beauty of Your guitars,
since I've seen them embraced by Mark Knopfler in a 1993 show, here in
Italy.
I am a guitarist and I amuse myself with luthery, so I would like to build
by myself,
 just for personal pleasure, a "replica" (it's like an impossible mission
for me)
 of the MK's Pensa Suhr: I'm referring to the one with EMG pickup set (2 SC
and 1 HB),
 the "golden" Floyd-Rose bridge (it's the one MK played during the "On Every
Street Tour").
I would like to ask You the courtesy of give me some suggestions and advice
about dimension,
 kind of woods, finish, paint and so on (for me this info are so precious).
Expressing my compliments for your wonderful guitars and sure of Your
answer,
I give my best regards to you.

Thank you for your interest
I can not supply you with drawings or dimensions since that is my personal
information.
This is not an easy guitar to make because of the carve top, binding etc
I would be happy to make one for you though.
Thanks
Suhr

Dear Mr. Suhr,
thanks for the time you're spending for me.
I knew that you couldn't want to give away such information
but I wanted to try nevertheless :)
I would be proud to have a MK 1 Suhr guitar, but I was wondering how much
does it cost...
I'm a young student so I can't afford big expenses  :)
Thanks
Arturo

Probably around $4,000 in the US if you want Binding and the full works
Without the binding probably closer to $3,000
Thanks
Suhr
Insomma, con 9.000.000 £ si porta a casa il gioiellone!

 Insomma, con 9.000.000 £ si porta a casa il gioiellone!
Ma scuss, il tallero non è a 3000lire, dovrebbe essere a 6.500.000 senza
binding, e sui 8.600.000 con illo (circa, ovviamente).
Chettefrega del binding? ;-)

Beh....... l'hai vista la chitarra di cui parlo?
io l'ho vista con e senza binding, madreperla etc,
e perde tanto del suo fascino!
E poi 8.600.000, ok ...... ma devi farla arrivare a casetta tua no????
Non te la manda mica aggratisse! :)
Ciao, ZioArturone

Mi sa che se dovesse arrivare dagli usa, ti si raddoppierebbe quasi il 
prezzo, fra spese di spedizione e tasse di dogana. Mi sembra che Peps 
abbia comprato qualcosa la', e che gli si sia quasi raddoppiato.
