MICHAEL MESSER BLUES

Guide Price £545

Michael Messer has designed this iconic steel-bodied single cone to capture the tone, feel and vibe of the 1930s.  Each feature has been thought through carefully to re-create the Blues tradition in a guitar that is sure to become a classic.

The history of the MM Blues and MM Lightning projects can be found on Michael's website - If you visit his forum you can ask questions about the MM guitars, slide playing and resophonic guitars in general.

The MM Blues standard version is in 1930s style greyburst matt - a small number of other finishes are sometimes available.

Here is the 14 fret MM Blues in greyburst matt:
