Sorry to ask a boring question but I'm new to the forum. I've just bought a Michael Messer Lightning. The serial number on the headstock is MML 0013 (I'm not superstitious). Can anyone tell me anything about the guitar from this number?

Hi Lucas,
Welcome to or forum.
Are you sure it is just MML 0013 - does it have 08 stamped as well? Show me a photo of the guitar and of the serial number and I will tell you what it is.
MML 0013 should read...MML 0013 08
If it's on eBay or in a store, send me the link. Don't worry I am not going to buy it, I have enough thanks!
(I have moved this thread into the Main Street section of the forum so that all MM commercial stuff stays in one place and doesn't take over the forum)
Shine On

Hi, thanks for the reply. I attach 3 photos including one of the serial number. It does just say MML 0013 and I can't see an 08 anywhere. Hope this is helpful. Thanks, Lucas    |

Hi Lucas,
Okay, now I have seen it I can answer your question.
Two years ago the factory in Shanghai started doing our serial numbers for us. Up until then we number the guitars in our UK workshop. We numbered the guitars as I showed you in my previous post, but when they started doing them at the factory they started again from 00 but without the year. Your guitar is from late 2013.
