Hi all!
I'm reluctantly selling this beautiful guitar: it's one of Michael's prototypes of his Blues '28.
It is in very good condition and looks, plays and sounds great with a compact, classy, pleasant woody tone. A very defined tone.
The Hula girl stencil is from Mark Makin.
The flowers decal is an add by a previous owner.
My only modification has been a great improvement: a biscuit/saddle made by Gottfried Gfrerer. Gottfried is a great musician. He also builds National style guitars and he's totally true to the original specs; his maple for the biscuit and boxwood for the saddle are very old and the diameter and thickness of this biscuit is the same as used in 1928 and 1929 National wood Triolians.
This prototype sounds now closer than before to an old wood Triolian... I've had 8 of them and I know what I'm talking about
Tuners are Golden Age Stewmac correct style, I think an improvement by a previous owner.
There is a hairline crack on the fingerboard near the nut: it was there from the beginning and was repaired by Michael Messer and it is totally solid.
Lightweight but very protective case, I think it's the same case which MM guitars come in.
Asking 480 GBP, INCLUDING DHL shipping from Italy to EU/GB. Paypal f&f.
For overseas shipping cost please ask.
