Musicraft Messenger: Going Deep on a Hippie-Era 6-String - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

The 1967 Musicraft Messenger is a delightful oddity from the Summer of Love era, marrying futuristic design with quirky features like a magnesium-aluminum neck and DeArmond single-coil pickups. While the neck's construction and resonant frequency claim to offer durability and playability, the pickup choice is often criticized as its "Achilles' heel." The guitar's susceptibility to feedback and its short production run add to its mystique, making it a coveted item for collectors. Though prices have surged, modern reissues and vintage clones offer more accessible entry points. Overall, it's a unique piece with both charm and challenges.
