Looks sweet.
I don't understand of that clear pickguard..
He should use pickup rings or something so it will look better IMO.

I like it, but there should be an ebony fingerboard and some cool inlays, alos matching headstock would be bitchin.

Re: Updated Steve Morse model at NAMM

Wow, that's really nice lookin. Can ya recommend some of his pieces? I've heard nothing but great stuff about him and his classical stuff in Guitar World columns are awsome (I think it was GW, can't recall)

Re: Updated Steve Morse model at NAMM

I think it looks great! If you're a fan of Deep Purple, pick up Purpendicular. Steve shows his vast array of tasteful licks and why he's a perfect fit for the band.

Re: Updated Steve Morse model at NAMM

try one called "tumeni notes" it's bound to leave you staring at your speakers in disbelief...even worse when you see just how he plays it...d.m.

This is the most difficult track ever IMO. Those insane alternate picked arpeggios, this is sick [img]/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

Re: Updated Steve Morse model at NAMM

Now that's more like it! I tried the now old model and it was great but confusing where it came to switching (hey, I'm the guy who has a 1 pickup guitar). I'll check it out.

Here are some Morse pics for who asked:

-Cut To The Chase
-Simple Simon
-Cruise Missle
-Flat Baroque
-The Introduction

w/Deep Purple
-Cascades: I'm not your lover - This song has the sickest alternate picked arpeggio section. One thing you'll understand from Morse is that he's the sickest alt picker on the planet.
-Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming

Re: Updated Steve Morse model at NAMM

There's more going on with this guitar than just the pickguard and figured top - Looks like Steve has dropped a pickup or two.

I've had my Morse since 1992 and it is the finest guitar I have ever owned. I compare everything I touch to that Morse.

Tumeni notes is one of the most frightening pieces ever recorded. Morse is a genius.

Re: Updated Steve Morse model at NAMM

Yea, Steve has been using a Musicman with that pickup configuration since the last Deep Purple Tour.

Re: Updated Steve Morse model at NAMM

Apparently the production model will have more options. I'm glad the pickup/switch setup has been scaled back. Can't wait to try one.

Re: Updated Steve Morse model at NAMM

Thanks fellas. Gonna try to buy a few CD's this weekend

Re: Updated Steve Morse model at NAMM

I also recommend Steve's "Coast to Coast" album--just an amazing display of instrumental songwriting and musicianship. The guy can basically do no wrong, in my book. Oddly, though, I've never cared for his signature guitar.

Re: Updated Steve Morse model at NAMM

IrfannSE801, I highly recommend High Tension Wires album, great melodic pieces and "Tumeni Notes" [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Also The Introduction, Coast To Coast and Major Impacts are really good.

Re: Updated Steve Morse model at NAMM
