I stand corrected, well sort of corrected because the first prototype/test MM Guitar to arrive on these shores was an MM Blues-ish sort of guitar with rolled F holes. It was stamped as an MM Blues and serial numbered as MMB001 08. So there was/is one rolled F hole MM Machine!
Thanks to Stevie for reminding me about that one.

Hi Michael, don't forget my beautiful and unique MM seven string style O! (Never miss a chance to show it off)! Best wishes to you all, John

Now everyone's got MM Guitars with rolled F holes!
On a more serious note - I am pretty sure those are the only ones and both in their own ways are not production run instruments.

Understood Michael. It being unique adds to its charm. MM7 FROOTS IAN 2009 has quite a story attached to it. As well as its little excursion a couple of years ago, it has been played by numerous well known musicians. It's a beautiful thing! Shine On Michael

A 12 string version would be good, too.

Difficult to smuggle past "Customs and Excise". I got away with it with my Guild F512, but SWMBO might have other ideas next time! We can but dream though.

The only remaining teensy snagette is that those with long memories will recall MM stating that a twelve string at the required exacting quality standard(s) is not presently viable, and by implication other suppliers are welcome to fight it out amongst themselves.
