Where can I try a Michael Messer "dobro" in Paris ?

[thebald]

Hello
I live in Paris. I'd love to try your guitars. But I can't find a dealer in Paris. Are there any ?
Thanks for your help

Hello thebald,

Welcome to our forum.

Thank you for your enquiry about MM guitars.

There are no dealers for MM guitars anywhere in the world apart from me. I did have my guitars in some shops in Europe, but I prefer to deal directly with my customers via mail order. This is not just because of profit, it is also because I like to know exactly what has gone to the customer.

Fine Resophonic Guitars in Paris sometimes have MM guitars in for setups and repairs, so my advice would be to call Mike Lewis at Fine Resophonic Guitars and ask if next time he has one in the workshop that you could see it.

My next shipment of MM guitars is due in at the end of April/early May. I am currently taking orders for that shipment. I do not require a deposit, just an email to > info @ michaelmesser . co . uk with details of the guitar you wish to order.

Once again >Thank you for your interest in MM guitars

Hello Michael
Thank you for your answer. I will call Mike Lewis.
I'm not a very good slide player (yet!). But I'm learning and want to get a resonnator. I heard your instruments on the net and was astonished by the sound.
What would be the price for a "Blues" Resonnator ?

Hi David,

Thank you for your kind words. I am very proud of MM Resonator Guitars!

The MM BLUES price is (in GBP) - £569.00 plus package & posting - £35.00 = £604 / Euros at today's exchange rate = €761

Best wishes,

Shine On
Michael

Hi David, If you'r living in Paris you can also check for my good buddy René Miller (an MM blues hard-user), an American busker often playing at "la liberté" (Faidherbe Xi) or "le fontaine" (Bastille XI) Sometime he also plays at le marché d'Alligre, when weather allows...
Ask him for his guitar and say you're coming from Pascal the hawaiian player. www.facebook.com/rene.miller.50364?fref=ts  Aloha.

Hi Michael,

"My next shipment of MM guitars is due in at the end of April/early May."

This is interesting reading, I really would like a 14 fret blues if they're not all taken. I've sent an email.

Regards Mike

thebald, if you read through the posts on the forum you will find many threads about MM guitars, most if not all say how good the guitars are. I have a MM Blues '28 and it is wonderful. I would suggest that you take the plunge before the shipment get's sold. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Regards Mike

Hi there

Thank you for all your answers and tips. I didn't come back on the forum since Michael's first answer. I'm discovering them now.

Michael,
My friend will be in London on April the 21st (all day), 22nd (all day), and 23rd (in the morning).
Is there a place there where you sell your dobros ? I'd like a MM Blues 12 fret, if it's available. She could pick one for me.
Is this possible ?
Thanks
David
