I have heard about the BCT on the newer Carters. I have a Carter that is not that old, however does not have BCT. Question for you Carter owners: How many of you have the Carters with BCT and if you do, what is the playing difference? Is the tone better? Can BCT be retrofitted on other Carters? How about pickups? I currently have George L's on both necks, however, I cannot find the right "mellow" tone on the E9. What pickups do you use? Lots of questions guys, I know, but I am on the ever-elusive search for the right sound.

Kirk,
I'm not a Carter owner, but the two things I know about BCT are this: 1. It can be put on earlier models that didn't come from the factory with it. 2. As far as the difference in sound, the reports I've heard say it gives the guitar a "tone" closer to that of an Emmons push-pull.
Hope this helps in your search for info.

Kirk,
I like my BCT Carter, never had a non-BCT.
