Hi Michael
Forgive me if it’s already been mentioned, but do you have any plans to have any Michael Messer resonator guitar t-shirts or similar merch produced?
Best wishes
Andy
BTW, I’m loving my Fiddle Edge Dobro! Wonderful!

Hi Michael Forgive me if it’s already been mentioned, but do you have any plans to have any Michael Messer resonator guitar t-shirts or similar merch produced? Best wishes Andy BTW, I’m loving my Fiddle Edge Dobro! Wonderful! Hello Andy, Thank you for your kind words about your MM Fiddle Edge guitar and for such a brilliant question. MM merch is not something I do with MM Guitars or with my music. I may be wrong, but I never think anyone would want an MM Guitars or Michael Messer t-shirt, mug, tote bag, or beany. This is interesting because I don't sell merch at my shows either and everyone is telling me that I should. I sell CDs, but not 'Michael Messer & Chaz Jankel Mostly We Drive' or Michael Messer's Mitra Call Of The Blues' merch. Hmmmm.... this is interesting. So you would like an MM Guitars t-shirt? I would be interested to hear other people's viewpoint on this subject, both for MM Guitars and for my real job as 'Michael Messer & Chaz Jankel Mostly We Drive' or Michael Messer's Mitra Call Of The Blues'....or whatever. Do you guys and girls buy merch of guitar companies and musical artists? Great question Andy! Oh....what is your Fiddle Edge's serial number? Shine On Michael

Hi Michael
Yes, I sure would wear a T-shirt bearing your guitars’ logo. I am an absolute T-shirt nut and often buy merch at gigs, mostly rock bands but also have Gibson and Martin guitar shirts.
My Fiddle Edge is no. 078. What a sound! I’m a hobby guitar player but I used it on a gig back in March, miked up, for a couple of songs and some of the players in the audience were very interested to have a play on it afterwards. One of my mates has an MM Blues and loves it.
Best wishes
Andy

Yes please! An MM t-shirt would be relatively unique and displaying a resonator of wine sort would be a conversation starter for those in the know?

The MM logo like the one engraved into the pickup covers is sth I'd like to wear on a T-shirt. Lines across the breast, simple, b/w, no additional text.

I'd buy one - especially if it had an image of a fiddle edge on it. If it had long sleeves I would wear it outside too.

Tim Dowling ( writer for the Guardian) is also in a band. His band has the usual CDs for sale but their biggest seller is tea towels! ( or was a year or so ago) .

no problems with those who feel like promoting what they admire.
[through selective wearing i managed to make an original "dark side of the moon" T-shirt last nearly 30 years]
still, tend to agree with MM here that a superior product will be the best advertisement. if true, my MM blues '36 is a 40 foot tall billboard.

Hi,
I recently researched some online print on demand vendors for myself where you put up designs and then the person who wants a tshirt has a selection of tshirt types and colors to choose from - I believe the designer can limit the scope and colors on that when putting up the design. You don't make much but the on demand printer will print, ship and handle the finances. Those places may have other swag as well
I like the idea of the logo for the guitar end and a quote or quotes from the "Mostly We Drive" project or any other project actually.
I don't know how UK vendors print but in the US I found they are using a sort of rubberized applique as a printing technique, so I think a typographic solution would be better than say, an album cover as the applique is very finely detailed but it doesn't move with the fabric the way silkscreening does.

I’d not seen that clip, thanks for posting! As has previously been mentioned, a nice t-shirt - perhaps featuring a slotted headstock - with Michael’s logo in the middle would be pretty cool. We’d all probably draw the line at owning a MM flamethrower though! Best Andy
