SOLD: Michael Messer Blues '36 wood bodied resonator guitar with Sixtus pickup

Kristo · September 2019

Up for sale is my as new Michael Messer Blues '36 wood bodied resonator guitar with Sixtus 'Slim' pickup. I bought this new last month with the intention of using it as a jazz guitar for acoustic gigs but unfortunately issues with my left arm mean I can't use it as intended.

The 14 fret wood bodied Blues '36 is a limited edition model and I believe there will only be 15 of these. This is serial number 1.

I had the Sixtus Michael Messer Slim pickup fitted as these are amazing pickups and I wanted the option to plug in if I ever needed it. I also had the biscuit replaced by a National Resophonic one (original included) and a strap peg fitted on the treble side of the neck. The action is roughly 2.75mm at the 12th fret and it's set up with 13-56 strings. All the work was done by Dave King who is one of the UK's top resonator specialists. It's an amazing sounding guitar and I am sad it's not quite right for me.

Also included is a hard foam case.

£500. Cash on collection from Beccles, Suffolk much preferred. I do have the box Michael sent it in so postage could be possible, but please contact me first to discuss this.
