Question Flaoting Trem On A Morse?

[Dr. Lemonator]

What's up with this picture? Did they make a production Morse with a floating trem?

Yup. Floyd is an option on the standard Morse and Y2D.

I think it also comes with the recess rout as well now as opposed to the earlier models, or am I confused?

Morse floyd models are now routed but I don't know since when

 

[Dr. Lemonator]

It stills says on the MM site that they only lower pitch, kind of like the Axis. That's why I am confused...

Floyd Morse

I have a Morse with a Floyd that was made on 2/22/05 and it does NOT float(thank goodness).
The guitars sound MUCH better when the trem touches the body.
I did not know that they had started to float the bridges.
Cheers

They started offering them routed/floating around NAMM in January.

So is it an option now to get it routed or not?

All the floyd-equipped Morse models are now floating. This started around 1 year ago, because EB was starting to ship floating Morse models around the time of our Morse/LaRue clinic last year, although we did not have any Floyd models come through at that time. (our Ice Blue was an exception)

Does that include the Y2D?

Just as Pete said, all Floyd-equipped Morse guitars float now.

Wow, that's interesting. I've been interested in a Morse Floyd for a while, but was wishing the bridge was recessed!

Also, great eye spotting that on the black Morse, I never would have looked closely enough to see it.
