IMO, coil split on a q-tuner would be absolutely pointless. you can get tones close to an acoustic pickup, good enough to render a piezo obsolete, so i don't think you'd need it brighter. and remember that you can fine tune it to tweak the frequency response.

Yeah, would have still been nice to have the extra tonal option, but oh well 
I'll still have a coil splitter for the bridge pickup though.

Wow love it! Especially the Holdsworth headstock! Do you prefer the Ibanez 8 string or wish you still had the Carvin?
One other reason I sold it is if you look at my post on my RG2228 you will see that I also have a Custom Jem.
Done by Max Cottam...you may even know of him as also from Manchester?

I found that every time I felt like picking up a guitar with a Trem I always went for that one & I love it! So the DC400 never got used much.
Definitely loving the RG2228 especially with the BKP Painkillers.
Have found it a lot easier to play than I expected.

Love the cocobolo! Body is an excellent design 
I almost bought a walnut Telecaster once, I loved the tonal balance of the wood. Keep it going!

That's gonna be awesome!!!
I used to have this Carvin DC400CW but sold it to help finance my 8 string.
Those inlays, they look familiar...
ALAS!

Guitars, and walnut specimens in particular, make me wonder why some people ever paint over the wood....
