Any advice - Re my guitars....

[Brand X]

Hi folks - Hope you are well...my first post hear and I hope you can help. A while ago I owned the Steve Morse model that you can see Steve play on the YouTube interview with Ball / Morse at the factory (pt3 I think)......it was a silver/grey sparkle one and like a dick I got rid of it (for an Ibanez Jem - damn what was I doing?).

Anyway - since then I've always wanted a couple of Floyd equipped Morses again so I initially swapped my Petrucci for one, and then a blue one came along real quick - so I was happy as hell.....

Anyway - a couple of weeks after I swapped (about 5 months ago) - my right shoulder started aching and I just assumed it would go away.....It hasn't.

I have put it down to the fact that as I am used to Petrucci's, Silhouettes etc that are heavily cut-away and the Morse is very thick with no cutaways and quite a big body, the whole angle of my arm has had to change particularly when sitting to practice.......

I'm pretty much at the point where two immaculate Morses are going to have to go as it's just getting too much.......

Anyone else suffered like this?

Cheers guys

Ha - I saw the name of the link and thought 'Cheeky Ba$t4rd!' ;o)

Seriously though - I'll take a look over the weekend...gotta go to play now....

I hope this does help - it's just weird that I've never had it before, although I do tense up sometimes.......

Thanks for the info mate.
