I had an M-72, an M-77T and a Jetstar, all very nice guitars for the money. Mine were all made in Korea, I believe by Cort. The Goldtone pickups sound really great.
Just to ad - the first record I absolutely had to own was Santo & Johnny's 'Sleepwalk'. I loved this record so much (still do) I bought it before I even owned a record player. Back then, once a record fell off the charts, it was almost impossible to find a copy of it.
I'm 75, so I can remember when rock and roll first started breaking out. I remember Bill Hailey when I was around 10, it was ok, but just dance music to me.
But then my older cousin played a new record he just bought - 'Bo Diddley' - WOW it was like something from another planet! A few months...
Back to the original question - I had a MIK Jetstar for a few years, and I was very happy with the sound and the playability. Those goldtone pickups are great for vintage rock. I sold mine because I couldn't get into the weird 'gumby' shape. I payed $200 for it new. Just make sure it comes with...
Best car (most practical and reliable) - my current 2016 Subaru Crosstrek - goes anywhere, runs like a champ, 34 mpg
Best car (coolest) - my '66 Dodge Polara convertible - 383, black with red bucket seats
