This is probably weight out of case yes? Also, how interchangeable is the pickup if someone wanted to go w more of a single coil sound?
Thanks!

I have an almost identical guitar. I had a Wallace Truetone single coil. I found it noisy in the wrong situation. I swapped the Wallace out for a BL XR16. To me it's about as close as you can get to single coil without the hum.

BL XR16's are one of the suggested pickups John Fabian recommended.

Otherwise swapping the pickup is not that hard if you take your time and have some rudimentary soldering skills.

YMMV

I agree, the BL XR16 pick gives this U12 Carter a whole new sound. this is my fourth Carter guitar. Great guitars.

I am going to give this a serious thought. I have always wanted a U-12. I just that I have to many steel now. Anyone been there? What method of payment do you take, and how?

Give me the shipping on this to Franklin, Pa 16323. I think I may just have to buy it. Darn.

Ken, the setup on this is very much different then Jeff had. Not that it makes any difference. We are all matter of change. It would really make a nice guitar. I wish I could make it mine. The weight is just a little more then I can handle. I still have it on my mind. Could get it yet.
