Where all EMCI guitars built with wielded frames.

Daniel, as I understand it the late MCI's called Range Expander were welded frames. The earlier models were not. I have an EMCI that is welded and I think all EMCI guitars were welded frames.

Harold is correct. MCI's only welded frame guitars were the RangeXpander (sp?). The EMCI's were all welded frames.

Yes Mike is correct, I had a MCI Rangexpander D10 which had the welded frame and so did all the EMCI's that followed it. Played mine for 20 years Very Happy

I had the new Range Expander with welded frame and it was sturdy as could be. Great steel. Jack
