MICHAEL MESSER RESONATOR GUITARS
Michael Messer making 1930s style available to all
Not many guitarists would be brave enough
to step into guitar design
on their own, but that's exactly what British slide expert Michael Messer
is doing with the launch of these two new resonator models
Guitarist Magazine UK - April 2008
With over thirty years experience of playing, collecting & reviewing resonator guitars,
I have been working with a small guitar workshop and UK importer to create what I believe are
the most
authentic &
playable 1930s style resonator guitars at an affordable and realistic price.
The body dimensions,
neck profile, headstock, spun aluminium cone & set-up will give the player the
classic tone,
volume
& feel of a 1930s metal-bodied resonator guitar. I believe these are the only budget priced resonator
guitars available that can boast these features.

FROM THE WORKSHOP TO THE CUSTOMER
Here are some photos of Michael Messer BLUES and LIGHTNING resonator guitars
being handmade in the small workshop in China. No CNC machines churning out
everything exactly the same. These people are really doing a great job. Being
totally
hand-built,
each guitar has its own character. Which is exactly how it should be.
