Yeah, that's the main reason I added the part about them working well depending on what you're going for. Gorgeous tones there. I'm kind of on the fence about Q-Tuners. I'm not sure whether or not they'd suit me.

i think they´re the ultimate neck pickup, and depending on what you´re after, the ultimate pickup all-over. you can tune their frequency response and stuff by adjusting the pole pieces, and that way seriously change the voicing. and since there are so many pole pieces, you can make the voicing change gradually as you get up to the higher strings.
here´s a decent clip of it in the bridge position:
i don´t think this guy has "tuned" them though, he mentioned in the comments that he switched back to the EMG´s because they had more mids. i told him he should´ve dialed in more mids with the pole pieces though, waiting to see if he responds
i´d love to try Q-tuners in both positions on a guitar though, i must say. since they are so unforgivingly accurate and clean though, i´d use them for something other than metal.

Eh, I've heard them sound better than that in the bridge position. I like that he played a Devin Townsend riff, though. 
Where's that Q-Tuner thread, anyway?

yeah, i know it´s not the best clip, but it doesn´t sound like "flat single coils" like some people are afraid they would

Glückwunsch!
I still haven't ordered .... (worried about not having the warranty or return/refund option for Europe, but I still have one week to pay a deposit and order)

All right, an idea just hit me a little while ago. I'm not sure if it's a great idea or a horrible one. I already have some BKPs on the way over for my Intrepid, but the thought occurred of routing out a middle pickup cavity for a Q-Tuner. Good idea? Bad idea? Would the magnetic pull on the strings be too much?

I thought the q tuners have very little magnetism? Thought I read that somewhere.

I thought I just heard they weren't much more than a normal ceramic, but there will be three pickups in the guitar if I do that.

they aren´t unusually strong, no. neodymium is moch stronger than ceramics, but they have much smaller magnets to make up for it.
i´d go for it! i´ve thought about it myself, but i´d rather have one in the neck position myself.
as long as you´re able and willing to route for a middle pickup cavity, i´d go for it. (don´t forget to let us know in the Q-tuner thread, so that we can keep tracks!)

I'd love to get in on the Q-tuner action, but unfortunately my money is diverted elsewhere for a very long time. Hopefully something will cause the Q-tuner people to make them a permanent plan. If not, I'll just get a BL-5 routed into my Agile later...

well, as i said, it will become a permanent product as long as we get 12 orders in to start it off

Did you get the reversed stock? If you did I think me and you have the exact same guitar coming!

I still haven't decided whether or not to order the Intrepid now....I have to decide until the 31, and I'm running out of time.
What should I do?!?!?!?!

In the large scheme of things, even if it did show up damaged, the cost to repair it is not likely to be much. And the odds of it arriving damaged are pretty low. I say go for it, otherwise you'll be that little head-baning-against-a-wall emoticon every day until the next order period occurs. And you will eventually get one. Just make it now.
