Just a short note to say thank you yet again to Michael for his stellar service in every way with the purchase of my most recent messer guitar the new Fiddle Edge Dobro . Absolutely beautiful guitar and is settling in nicely ,plays wonderfully and sounding great so far! Looking forward to reading the story of the development process that Michael went through to get these in production. Thanks again Rich     |

Okay Michael spent a bit of time cobbling this together for you earlier!
Not sure how the sounds come out anyway ended up longer than originally intended but a few short noodling pieces showing a few different sounds of the Fiddle edge .
Start in standard tuning and then onto open G .
Cheers Rich

Hey everyone, give this man a round of applause 👏 👏👏👏👏
Rich, there’s no doubt about it, you have already made that one your own and the two of you sound amazing together.
After so many years and so many hurdles while turning a dream into a reality and then seeing yours and Snakehips’ videos of you playing your Fiddle Edge guitars as if they have always been around, is quite an emotional thing for me. After more than six years of forcing this guitar into existence, you have no idea what that means to me.
Thank you for making this video! 🙏🏻
Shine On
Michael

Nice clips there Rich showing that a resonator is not just for blues, I have been at Dave Kings and seen these up close so I know they are quality guitars, nice to have you are a lucky chap.

Lee Thanks , yes really nice guitar I am very pleased with it and was surprised how responsive and acoustic it is if that makes sense very nice guitar will be getting a lot of use! Have a two studio sessions recording at the end of the month and it has been added to the arsenal for those sessions. Has to earn its keep now! |

I know that Paul recently posted on another thread about how happy he is with his new MM Fiddle Edge, but I wanted to post these two emails from him and he did give me permission to do so. So rather than add them to Paul's own thread I thought I would add them to this one. On the forum Paul is known as paulsblues12 and I can't thank him enough for such kind and positive comments. They not only brought a tear to his eyes, but one or two to mine too.
Good afternoon, Michael,
I am absolutely lost for words. My feeling are what a fantastic guitar.
So well made I was so impressed with the packaging really done with thought and care.
Such a well thought out case very impressed with the quality of case and carrying options.
Although I did not play the guitar today. Just to feel the quality of the neck and body was enough for now.
A special thank you for the Diamond glass slide.
Brought a tear to my eyes you are such a kind and generous person may you be blessed with everything good in your life.
Best wishes
Paul

Hi Michael,
Well, I did not think I would be emailing you so soon.
But finally, today I got to tuned up my fiddle edge to open D and play for 15 minutes of heaven.
What a warm and sweet bluesy tone this beautiful guitar has.
I knew it was going to be good but wow is it good.
The smile on my face was from ear to ear.
Thank you and everybody that was involved with creating this fiddle edge guitar.
I love everything about it your slide and a silica sound glass slide that I already had are perfect for the tone that I am looking for.
Lost for words now.
Take care
Best wishes
Paul
Shine On
Michael

The adjustments that were made from the original design have created more consistency than the originals. In other words, they are all coming up as great guitars. Your supportive and kind words are really very much appreciated. It was a long and hard haul to get this one over the line. Shine On Michael |
