Hi Mick
Like you, back in '82 (an outbreak of poetry lol) I purchased an MVII (sunburst).
I've still got it and won't part with it for the world now!
Even though I mainly play nylon guitars now (acoustic flamenco, Line 6 nylon and Yamaha Silent Guitar (my wife's favourite - that one's saved my marriages (laughs)), I still like to break out the Vic every now and again - it's even after all this time a real joy to play...
And it is still - in my opinion - one of the most gorgeous guitars ever produced.
