Thanks mate. It's a great tune by Adam Franklin.
Top drawer!
This is my song.
And a jolly good one too Adam :-)
Very nice, I too prefer 12 fretters, I have the blues 28 which is a lovely guitar but I would also like a metal body one but can’t choose between the blues, lightning or fiddle edge, did you choose your blues over any of the others for any reason? Thanks for the video.
Thanks for your nice comment. To be honest I bought it before really knowing the difference and just liked the colour! However, having owned a Lightning and a Blues 28 I just found the Blues to be a bit more ballsy and simple, which I like. The Lightning is a bit sweeter and perhaps has a bit more sustain. The '28 is probably a better all-rounder but lacks the volume. I haven't played one of Michael's Fiddle Edges so I can't really comment on that one. Any of the three (Blues, Blues 28 and Lightning) are the best option unless you can stretch to a good NRP, a Fine Resophonic or a National, and certainly better than the other Far Eastern competition. I'm not entirely sure that's very helpful!
Oh I should mention that traditionally the Fiddle Edge will have a spider cone so quite different sounding to both the Blues and the Lightning with their biscuit bridge cones. More nasal, very sweet and loads of sustain but maybe less attack. Cheers again. Lew
@@lewisford1541 thanks, yes I knew about the spider cone but I think you can order it with a biscuit, not sure what it would sound like then, anyway thanks for doing the videos.
@@jamesnorman7552 if you search Snakehips and MM Fiddle Edge I think he did a video of his Fiddle Edge with a single cone in. In terms of comparing some Messer guitars, you may have already seen this but if not - ruclips.net/video/X8RY8bgItYM/видео.htmlsi=GDEJdBo7vVQ9AYpm
Thanks again for your kind comments and let me know what you end up going for 🙂
fabulous playing! why did you chose the NM blue 12 and not the 14? which would you recommend? i play an OM 14 fret acoustic mainly fingerstyle blues and want to add a resphonic guitar to the mix…what difference in tone between the 12 and 14?
Hey, thanks for the nice comment. It's a great tune by Adam Franklin which helps the playing look good! Tbh when I bought this guitar I didn't know much about the difference between the two models and just went for the 12 fret as I think it was the older of the two designs of National style guitar. 12 fret guitars tend to have more bass due to the position of the bridge in relation to the scale length and body shape, but I've played the 14 fret version and that sounded plenty nice and bassy too! I generally prefer 12 fretters but that may be just as much down to their appearance than anything else. All the MM guitar models are fantastic and in my experience they're easily the best option if you don't have upwards of £2K to spend. If you have a 14 fret OM then I'm inclined to suggest trying a 12 fret MM Blues, Lightning or Blues '28 ~ all 12 fret guitars. A bit more "hair on the bone" so to speak! I hope that helps. Perhaps you can find someone locally who would be willing to let you try theirs? It's worth asking on the MM forum...friendly and hospitable crowd 😊
@@lewisford1541 i really appreciate your prompt reply! It is all about the tunes and being inspired by great musician composers. It is so easy to get carried away with GAS! I am not and will never be in a position to be a collector and acquire the best and most famous brands. Many are certainly superb instruments worth every penny but I am more comfortable with a great sounding musical « tool » in my hands and without any holes in my pockets!
@@MrPhotomiked sounds like you're in the same boat as me 👍
I'm lucky that I get to play a few friends' posh guitars from time to time 🤣 Seriously though, you can't go wrong with the MM steel body!
