Looking good Henry, that's a lot of knee lever's. Best of luck on your sale, J.R.

Thinking about replacing my backup steel with a guitar with more knee levers, since my main steel is 9x9.
I donâ€™t know how much difference Carterâ€™s BCT made in tone, or what years didnâ€™t have that. Does this â€˜95 have the body contact technology? Did BCT affect the tone much?
Also, did Carter make the teardrop knee levers that I see in the picture for the back neck?

Jack, I wish I could answer your questions but I canâ€™t. I donâ€™t think this guitar has BCT and really donâ€™t know how to tell. The tear drop levers and brackets look to be factory because parts match rest of guitar except for the levers themselves but donâ€™t know for sure. Itâ€™s a one owner guitar and canâ€™t imagine the guy that owned it doing anything to it other than factory. Maybe some of the Carter experts can answer these questions. Guitar sounds great with E66 on E 9th and looks to be a 10-1 on C6th. Thanks

Yeah, I never did see what Carter did to upgrade their older steels to BCT. I wouldnâ€™t even know what to look for.

i believe the bct began in 1998, it consist of the changer making body contact (body contact technology) similiar to the emmons pp....jack

I owned four Carter guitars over the years. I'm pretty certain BCT started in 1998. It did make a difference in tonal quality to me. Without it the guitars tended to be a little darker tonally With BCT they were noticeably brighter (especially in the bass strings)along with a little more sustain.

I tried a Trutone, E66 and ultimately stayed with the XR16. They are great guitars in my opinion.

This is a great looking guitar and I am sure Henry has it set up and singing like it should. 8 & 8 is a plus anyway you look at it. J.R. Rose

This is a very nice guitar. I ordered a Red 91/92 from John and Bud and picked it up in their shop. I kept and play for several years and never had any problems. Played and sounded like it should. Henry, This will make somebody a nice Christmas Gift. It is just around the corner you know so just hang in their. Looks really good. J.R.

I had several Carters over the years, some with BCT , and some without, could never hear any difference, they all had a great tone to me...

Hey, I see you traded this one off. Is there a good place to trade? I have a U12 Fessenden with 8 pedals and 5 levers. I am trying to trade it for a double neck like your Carter.

Henry Matthews · Post by **Henry Matthews** » 6 Dec 2018 10:24 pm

I traded with a friend but yo may post on forum you want to trade. Someone may want a 12 sting for a d10. Fesses are great guitars.
