Picked this up on a whim a couple months ago just because it was priced decently and I always wanted to try one of the solid top MFC instruments. It plays and sounds great (the solid top makes a very noticable difference), but I didn't need another koa tenor so I've decided not to hang onto it.
This is in very good condition, especially for it'a age. Has a couple very very minor dents/scuffs and a bit of what I would consider normal bellying in front of the bridge, but seems to have been VERY well cared for. Also comes with case designed for the Fluke that you can't get anymore. Case has a few scuffs and some marks from where it looks like stickers used to be but is in overall good conidtion and totally solid.
I emailed Dale at MFC after I got it and he confirmed the following:
I recently strung it up with Martin M620s. As is the case with all MFC instruments it is setup beautifully. Action is a nice low 2mm to 2.25mm at the 12th.

- Made on 2009 or 2010 in New Hartford
- Rosewood fretboard
- Peghed tuners
- Solid koa top
- Walnut neck (it's fairly light colored piece of walnut, but it is walnut)
- Dots are either pearloid or MOP. They changed from MOP to pearloid about that time so Dale wasn't sure
