I'm digging for some info on this custom guitar. It appeared in a full-page Mighy Mite ad for their 1300 Distortion Humbucking pickups in the July, 1979 Guitar Player magazine. Backplate names the guitar, "The Sheik", and shows the luthiers as Mike Kelley and John Losch. Not for sale, just researching. Thanks for any help!

I saw an ad for C-4 pickups in the September 2010 issue of Guitar Player Magazine and I was hoping to find more information about them here on mightymite.com.  I can't seem to find any mention of them here, but I'm comparing them to some of the competing active pickups out there and I wonder how they hold up, from installing to playing.  The only thing I can really find about them on line is the demonstration video from their introduction at Summer NAMM 2009, in the video with Jeff and Tommy Bolin.  Are they solderless connections?  What are the specs?  Where can I find them?

I notice that here most questions go unanswered.  Is there nobody lurking here that represents the company?  Most of these questions  should be easy to answer but it is not happening.  Not a good sign.

output jack is drilled, but may need enlarging for big stereo jacks

none of the small holes are drillied for mounting the pickguard or hardware
.... or the tremolo! <----

is it recommended to have a string tree on these necks
