mm blues 12

[bluesmeine]

Hello

mm blues 12 arrived last week
thanks everyone for the good preparation and shipping

i can't stop playing on it, what a beautiful sound
that natural reverb  and warm sound makes that when you play this guitar you become a part of it, and drags you into the music.
the action (for slide playing )was lower than i am used to ,especially on de lower frets at the first string
for the moment i don't dare to change anything on it.
maybe a 16" top string would help?
for now i try to soften my slide pressure end enjoy.
the neck is also very nice  ,plays smooth and easy(i am a classical guitar player)
i ve discovered the open d tuning fits me the best, and this guitar is made for it


many thanks
greetings from the netherlands

Hello Meine,

Excellent news! I am pleased to hear that your guitar (#MMB191226) arrived safely and that you are happy.

I fitted a set of .015 to .056 strings on your guitar and the string height is what most people like for slide and fingerstyle playing. You should not need any more height, even on the first few frets. You can always try a .016, but I think you should stay with the .015 for a while and see if you get used to it. I played your guitar when I prepared it for you and it felt good to me. A .016 will certainly make sliding easier, but will not be balanced with the other strings. The set I fitted is - .015 .017 .026 .036 .046 .056, oh yes and they are monel strings, which are becoming more and more popular.

Thank you Meine. Your business is very much appreciated and so are your very kind words.

Enjoy!

Greetings from England and all of us on the MM Forum
