MCi intertek S/S 3000 U.S.A.

I've had this black intertek S/S3000 for several years now(my favorite mutt) and can't find any info on the guitar or company. It's a strat body HSS w/locking nut & bridge.It's a well made guitar and has the best sound of any guitar I've owned in 30+ years. None of my old guitar buddies have ever heard of one either. Any info would be great. Thanks, Eric

Hi, Eric--

Good News--I have info for you. Here is the General Info from the Blue Book:

SS 1000
- double cutaway Stratocaster-style body, maple neck, 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, pointed headstock with six-on-one-side tuners, locking nut and locking bridge with tremolo, baby blue pickguard, three single coil pickups, three knobs (v, two tone), five-way switch, gold hardware, available in White finish, mfg. 1983-85.

***This model was also available with a humbucker pickup in the bridge position (Model SS 3000), two humbuckers (Model SX 2000, pearl finish), and three humbuckers (Model SX 3000, black finish).

The pricing info:

Mint $150
Exc.+ $120
Exc. $95
Avg.+ $75
Avg. $60

**Add $25 for two humbucker or three humbucker configurations.

The pricing seems very low but Blue Book pricing is based on demand by collectors.
