This might be a Bobbe question. When was the first MCI made and when was the last one made? -- approximately.

I thought they only lasted 5 years from 1983 - 1988. Maybe someone can confirm!

This might sound like a one man show. If MCI produced guitars for five years and produced 20 per month, their total production would be about 1000 units. I wonder how many are still around?

Don't know if this is any help, my EMCI is L 2160 I think made in 1988
You might give Bud Carter a call at Carter Steel Guitars

Actually, It has been pointed out to me that MCI started business in 1983, and Gretch closed it up in 1989/90. If that is the case then who knows how many MCI and EMCI's were made!!
