Steve Morse #50/50

[Fontanz]

Finally got this really rare piece, the last one of the 1st fifty Steve Morse guitars that were ever made, handsigned by the man himself.

It's a pure joy to play it. Big Thanks go out to Bill Bentley and Tommy Alderson for their invaluable help.

Fantastic, I always love seeing the early ones turn up! I had #4 for a few years.

On that specific photo I'm not sure - Over the years I have done several clinics with Steve Morse (I believe 4 or 5, including one duo with Dave LaRue), a big part of why we used to carry Engl. For the SM clinic that I hosted in 2011 we were fortunate to have a handful of the first 50 guitars onstage. @beej and Tommy A (Steve's tech) were kind enough to bring their own guitars from the first 50, and Steve posed for a photo with us and the guitars to memorialize the event. Steve played every single one of them for his soundcheck, including #4, and remarked at how close and familiar they sounded compared to his #1.

No, it's my 2nd from 87, but the only one from the 1st 50s, and I'm sure there won't be another one of this rare pieces for me. Still can't barely believe I got this one...

We have the #9 from 1987, but have no idea what it’s worth. Anyone have any idea of its value?

I'm proud of the fact that my DeLorean is #50 of 50 exported to the middle East ... no US smog emission garbage on there lol
So welcome to the #50 of 50 Club lol
