>"IIRC, he plays 10's,..."

I read on a Knopfler fan page that he used 9s for most of his work, and only in recent years (maybe since Golden Heart) switched to 10s. But he still keeps one or two Strats with 9s. I'm not sure though where this information came from.
There's plenty deutschmarks here to earn, and german tarts are wunderschn.
