I'm hoping to receive my MM Fiddle Edge soon. Maybe I'm getting a bit ahead of myself here, but...I'm curious to know what pickups have been tried on the MM and/or original FEs. Any thoughts on what's the best PU to use?

Hi there !
Well, maybe once MM & Sixtus get to "the end" of their trial period on their Tricone pickup design, there was a hint they might look at developing a single-cone pickup too - and I'd imagine a Fiddle-Edge Dobro pickup would work the same way, no doubt ?
Hold on for a bit !
My recently turned 16yr old son has already taken a big shine to my MM Fiddle-Edge guitar - and he was just asking me last night if he could play it at a school concert of school bands - but I had to inform him that it doesn't have any pickups on it yet (he was most disappointed !)

Richard, If your son would like to use the Fiddle Edge I am happy to lend you a single coil MM Sixtus pickup that you could fix with double sided tape. Just post it back when he's done the show.

Any thoughts on what's the best PU to use? Eddy, at present we are fitting MM Sixtus single coil or humbucker pickups on the Fiddle Edge guitars and they would well. We are planning to work out something like the T-bug for Dobro style instruments, Spider-Bug, but that is a way off at the moment. Shine On Michael |

Hi Richard. Thanks for your thoughts... Hi Michael. Based on your comments, sounds like the Sixtus normally for a biscuit-type resonator would be a candidate for the Fiddle Edge. Correct? OOPS -- Got ahead of myself. I see you responded to this question before I could post (or pull back the post). Thanks Michael! Of course, if anyone has any opinions on the MM Sixtus single coil vs humbucker on the FE, those opinions would be appreciated! |

Hey Snakey How did your son’s show go? Hope it was a big success and he’s inspired some of the other kids to check out resonator guitars. Cheers Andy |
