| My 2yr old takes one of my bars and smack's the pick-up on my carter d-10, she did it so fast not even the quick hands of buddy e. could stop her. All I heard was crackling then nothing out of the amp, the c6th side works fine. This is a later model Carter, are all pick-ups interchangable on it with no modification, it has Gearge l's on it and I am tempted to try something else like bill lawrence. By the way this little girl does no wrong in my eyes!!!!! |

| Most any wide mount pickup should work. The Lawrence XR16 is a good choice. If you decide to try the Alumitone however, be certain to get the mounting adapter kit as well. |

I mounted an Alumitone in a Carter with out a mounting kit.
Drill and screw. w/ optional foam.
In the end I ended up mounting mine directly to the body to lower it further.
Repeat, you must drill rock maple to get screws in it.
I don't think the mounting kits are even available anymore are they?
XR-16s are a very good sound .. more compressed and nice for live playing.
Alumitone has more towards a single coil sound.

Very rarely with the dirt pedals, but yeah it works okay.
Playing through a Fox 5D6b at 30 watts it is surprisingly clean but if I give it the gas it grows a little hair..
I have been thinking of trying a Earth Drive and working on a Rusty Young / Allman Bros thing.
I like playing the One way out lick at the end of working man blues... and have tried the tipping the steel out toward the audience.. Its a real attention getter..

| I'll give a vote for the BL pickups.. I really like mine.. I just don't like those George L pickups.. too dark for me... not enough "growl" in my opinion for my taste. |
