 Due to everything costing me more to produce MM Guitars, I have had to put a price increase into place. I had hoped to avoid doing this, but I have no choice. If I don't increase the prices I cannot continue with the MM Guitars business. I have kept it as low as I can, but I had to do this. All guitars have gone up by £20.00 (GBP) Prices are now... MM Lightning - £639.00 (GBP) MM Blues 12 fret - £629.00 (GBP) MM Blues 14 fret - £625.00 (GBP) MM Blues '28 - £585.00 (GBP) MM Blues '36 - £519.00 (GBP) UK packing & postage has gone up by £5.00 to £25.00 (GBP). This is to cover price rises in the boxes I have made to ship MM Guitars to my customers. Shine On Michael |

Michael, as a very happy owner of an MM Lightning I think even with the modest the price increase that your guitars are excellent value.

Considering the standards you have set in your Guitars , your after care service is simply outstanding, the bottom line is your increases are very modest and completely reasonable considering these times we live in .
best to you and MM guitars

Thank you to everyone for such kind words.
The whole ethos of my MM Guitars business is to do it as well as possible and as reasonably priced as possible, so it really troubles me to have to raise the prices in these financially trying times. However, the bottom line is that if I don't do it, I cannot continue.
My accountant tells me that I am not a charity!
Shine On

Is the MM blues '36 a production model now, or still a limited run?

Is the MM blues '36 a production model now, or still a limited run? TT TT, The MMB36 has been so much in demand that I have ordered another small run to be manufactured. These will have a slightly different look to the first batch, so those will stay as a limited run. Shine On Michael |

When I sit in my back garden watching the container ships going in to Felixstowe I always wonder if I'm seeing another batch MM guitars arriving.  |

Hi TT,
I don't have any photos yet, but there will be less than 20 of the new version. It may also interest you to know that when I was at Dave King's a few days ago I found that we still have two of the original ones. I thought they were all sold, but hidden away under a pile of guitar cases we turned up two more MMB36s!
Shine On
Michael

I recently adopted a Blues 36 that belonged to a French guy named Philippe before me, a really nice guitar, both for slide and picking.
Now I'm curious about this next generation too!
Still, to stay on track, those prices are very reasonable for MM guitars.
