I was talking to someone at a music store and told him about my trade. His exacts words were "why would you trade your les Paul for a guitar that is only a step up from a dean" I toldhim you can't knock one till you have tried one but whatever I guess everyone has their opinion. Maybe he's just jealous he doesn't have one .

as long as your happy with the trade, I wouldn't worry what other people think or say. Although I do hope it wasn't an original 1958 Les Paul :p

Did he exhibit any other obvious signs of head trauma?

The fact is that some people have absolutely NO idea what they are talking about, and making those kind of statements in the first place is very ignorant. As long as you are happy, and found something other than what everyone thinks is supposed to be the best guitar/s, that's all that matters.

in rhode island the guitarists are very opinionated and not too friendly towards each other. Most, not all like to just trash talk each other and their choice of equipment. you always here how can you use (insert equip here) its a piece of junk use this instead. i remember getting hell from a guitar teacher i once had cause of my pick choices.

Yea, I find that kind of ridiculous. I'd rather chat about why someone is using specific kind of equipment and what works for them. Its supposed to be a shared interest/hobby, but people tend to have a huge ego instead of being humble and sharing their opinion and music with their colleagues so to speak. But I am gonna go on a limb and say that sometimes you cant deny the fact that there is a good amount of crappy tone out there produced by someone :eek:I wish everyone was like Steve Morse, including me...he's so down to Earth. The world would be a better place.

oh yes there is a good amount of crappy tone. The guy that took over for me in my old band showed up with a marshall mg and a floor processor and it just sounded so fake. i know some people can make anything sound good but having good equipment helps too. i see a lot of line 6 spyders on stage around here. and always wonder why not spend a little extra for something thats more reliable and sounds better

He compared a Les Paul classic to an EBMM? Whahahahaha!!!! He really hasn't got a clue does he? Oh well. We can't all be geniuses, can we?

Which morse did you get?

Ah... I see it now. A y2d. Great choice! I want one myself!

If you traded an R7/8/9 for a morse, I'd say it was a matter of preference. Sine it was a classic, then I'd say you traded up for sure.
