I was given a MC acoustic for my 11th birthday in 1962. I remember it cost £5 and 10 shillings, it was brand new. I still have it today it has survived 3 children & 4 grand children. It's a bit bashed up now but still does it's job. I have had other guitars which have come and gone, all better and easier to play but this has stayed. thank you Martin Colletti.   john the gas.
