Hello,

I was wondering if the SM-Y2D ships like the original Steve Morse guitar setup with:

10-13-16(all RPS)-26-32-42

I just ordered a standard Purple Sunset w/Floyd. If so, I'll have it setup for a standard 10 set and add a D-Tuna.

Just curious, what does the Y2D stand for? Year 2000?

Thanks in advance and looking forward to my new addition.
 
The Y2D ships with the same strings. I bleeb the Y2D is because it was the 20th year of Steves being with the company (on a hand shake, and not a contract) so the Y = year, the 2D means 2 decades...BP, do I have it right?
 
Thanks, it also appears that the pickup combinations offered by the 5-way always provide the full pickup without coil taping. Is that correct? I like the coil tap on the JP for cleans.
