I'm looking for an MCI S-U12, 7+5...with the welded frame, not the bolted frame. May be interested in a trade for my Fessenden S-U12, 7+5. Gotta be in very good, playable condition to do the trade thing. Otherwise, if it's in rebuildable condition, I'm interested.

Mike;
If you do a search on the forum you will find a lot of info on MCI-EMCI. I have owned three and they were all great guitars.
I presently have the D-10 that Buddy played for MCI at St Louis back in the eighties.A friend of mine bought the whole rig right at the show. Guitar , seat and amp. He never learned to play it so it sat in his music room for many years before he gave it to me.It is in mint condition and plays like a dream.

I don't care where these guitars were made or weilded frame or not. These were and still are the best sounding and playing all-pull guitars made till ZUM and MULLEN came along. They still sound almost as good as a Push Pull.

Well, as fate would have it, I am no longer looking for the MCI.
Thanks to Buster Warren, who sold me a 12 string TrueTone pickup at a great price, I now have the tone I have been looking for. It was right there in my Fessy all along, but the BL712 pickup was hiding it. Switching to the TT sound was like stepping out of a dark, stuffy house into a bright, sunny, warm day with a gentle, cool breeze.
I'm very happy.
Here's a scary thought...an MCI with a TT in it....that would have to be a tone monster for sure!!
