BMT Elite Specs

[Rainer Bastian]

2 Questions about the older BMT Elite models (93-95):

1) Do they normally have a catalyzed lacquer high gloss finish or the varnish/oil finish like older BT models ?

2) Are the 7 pc BMT necks different in any way from the newer wood combinations ? I assume that the older BMT necks have Wenge and Bubinga stripes whereas the newer BSR 7pc necks have only Bubinga stripes ...?

3) Is it possible to upgrade the older BMT electronics to the newer 18V circuit ?

4) The newer necks are a little bit more "beefy" than for instance the 90th BT necks. Where do the BMT neck dimensions tend to: more in the newer BSR style or more in the older BT style ?

May be only Ken himself can answer this questions, but perhaps they are of some interests for other players here...

Thanks
Rainer
