Nice! Looks to be in great shape. Also has the black block- seems that only the first bunch have that. (My #23 doesn't.)

Somebody snag that bad boy

Thanks for sharing!
I´m not so sure about the good shape. There seem to be some major dings around the insert jack. The Back of the neck seems to be very worn too.
The Black Block means the Tailpiece that holds the string on the body. On some early models, including Steve Morse´s #1 this block is black.

Jesus ... I must be on crack today. I just looked at the first picture and glossed over the rest.

Yep, quite a bit of wear there.

why is it that people seem to get a Morse and beat the hell out of it. It seems like most of the Balls that I've seen that have some wear n tear are Morses. Just thinkin out loud.

That's not so much "wear" on the back of the neck as it is "dirt and body oils". Ditto for the dark spot on the back of the body. The damage near the jackplate appears to be minimal and invloving mostly the finish. The neck could be cleaned up. Don't know about the body.

Looks like a "crudball" owned it... LOL someone averse to showering and washing hands and body frequently. And keeping things clean.

if this guitar was owned by Steve Morse we'd all be saying how cool the guitar was with the wear and tear. :p I love it :)

Yeah you´re right :D
I´d say, if the price will be fine, it would be interesting, but the seller seems to ship only US
