I also have never heard of an MCI keyless and never heard of a 25 inch scale MCI...Maybe some more info and pics will educate us...

I think Daniel has it right. Probably CMI for Charles McGough Instruments. I've seen a few of 'em come up here from time to time.

Played a couple CMI's in the early 90's when I played the steel shows in Hammond,La.Almost bought a grey D-10. Great sounding,well built guitars with almost no cabinet drop.
But who cared about cabinet drop back then. we were just happy to be playin anywhere.

I made a typo....It is a CMI!! Charles and I are friends and when he made his first D10, I immediately had him make me one. It was his second
production, and I have had it since. I had a Nashville 400 and the two instruments made a great sound, but I have had to downsize weightwise. I now am using a Rittenberry S10 and traded the 400 for a Nashville 112. I am going to miss C6 and the D10, but have no choice.

I understand the downsizing thing. If I could leave this guitar in a church or at a weekly sit down job I'd love to have it.

My e-mail is down, and I have not been able to fix
it. Please post any messaages or questions here or call me if you wish. 318-855-3693.

I now have my e-mail working fine, so if there are any questions or details about this guitar, please let me know here, by e-mail, or call me. This guitar has complete adjustment capabilities on copedent changes, pedal stroke and position, knee lever stroke and position. It is triple raise and lower.
I have some extra pull rods, and bell cranks to modify the copedants if desired. I rarely break the 011. I have been using Mangus strings and go so long on the 011, I change them because I get nervous about how long I have gone without a change. The 25" neck sustain is better than any standard bridge length I have ever played, plus the high positions
(above the 12th fret) are easier to play.
