I understand BMI frames are all metal(alum), endplates, aprons one piece of aluminum correct? Are they welded? Screwed? Whats the difference between the welded frame MCI and BMI frame?

listening to Bill coopers' "Healing Hands Of Time" on his home page website. I 'knew' he had to be playing a P/P. one of the best ive heard. then learned it was an MCI. I assume a welded frame?
still curious about those BMI's metal frames too...

Steven,
The BMI guitars do have aluminum frames as you have noted. They are bolted together. I've never seen one welded.
Cheers!
Benton
