- Brand New model from Michael Messer
Demo of the guitar I just got this week.
Fiddle-Edge Dobro faithful reproduction.
Unlike all metal-bodied Nationals, Dobros and modern reproductions, where the front & back of the guitar bodies are silver-soldered to the sides of the guitar, THIS guitar copies the unusual and never-before copied "Fiddle-Edge" method of connecting the front & back of the guitar bodies to the sides by mechanically rolling the edges of the top & bottom over the edges of the sides, to hold everything together. Turns out, it was quite difficult to do without squashing out of shape the front, back or sides while rolling the edges together - and making a right mess of everything.
And yet, Michael Messer managed it, pushing his chosen workshop to experiment on & on, until they got it right. The original National/Dobro factory managed it - somehow, so it HAD to be possible to do it again !
Inside, there is a Dobro style resonator cone with off-set spider, just like the originals.

Beautiful. I wish you long life and good health to enjoy it.
every time I hear the blues played on something like this, by someone like you, I can't help but have a big ol' grin on my face. Thanks for sharing.
I loved every moment I felt like I was watching a live show in the backwoods in Texas
Damn I saw one of your video years ago and could never remember the name but the algorithm has brought me back! And I’m happy to stay
Ah this was the shiny thing in question, very nice!
Great playing. Thanks for the tune.
VERY pretty! Sounds great too, enjoy every minute of it.
AMAZING playing
Awesome sound
Well done
Damn that thing sounds like its plugged in!
Reso guitars are magic.
Thats a gorgeous Dobro. Ive got a gold one from 36. I sure like your playing a lot.
Unique geetar------lucky guy
Nice nice nice axe!
Your guitar is beautiful but the vibe you're producing says I'm wandering in a desert with no water but I ain't mad about it
Quite a nice sound. How much for your skills? ;)
How much does the MM Fiddle Edge Dobro weigh?
Wish the low e would be allowed resonate longer when plucked instead of being cut off short. Just me. I personally like a long low complement to the rest of the melody. Lots of players cut off many notes. What do I know? I like to hang on if it fits. Blue on, son, you’re blessed.
Son ??? I was 52yrs old in that video (and still am, for a little longer !)
Really bad ass. My friends Dad had one he ordered from Sears on the 50s. How much do they cost in US dollars. Cary in Tucson
Check out the website page for more info on the guitar. The price quoted is the original price. Michael Messer has stated that the prices are going up as his costs are sky-rocketing recently. Check this out :

@@snakehips81 Thanks you
Hello SH....did you ever get to try it with the biscuit by any chance?
Yes !

@@snakehips81 Hey thanks very very much for that. Just watched the link. It dampens down that dobro sweetness. Biscuit is deffo the way to go for me and great that Mike M had the foresight to provide the 2 options. A well thought out project but 'twas a labour of love not to be repeated by the sounds of it! By chance I will be seeing Mr Lewis in Paris next month to pick up a Fine and I think I am going ask him to put a 9.5 in the fiddle edge when he gets a mo. Again, much appreciated.
So long, space cowboy.
What's the song your playing??
The first one sounds to me like "Dark was the night" by Blind Willie Johnson. Not sure what the second could be, that sounds a bit more standard and could be anything really.
Frankly, it's not the guitar, it's the player. I heard some Fahey in that tune.
How much?
Money in fair words.
