John Burkhead started MCI Intertek and produced various models of electric guitars. A designer/consultant to the company was possibly Gene Fields of Fender fame. In 1985, Fred Gretsch Guitars purchased the company. Saxon brand pickups were used in these guitars. Information courtesy: Walter Murray, Frankenstein Fretworks.
