After a ten year break from serious playing and owning a guitar, due to military service and life in general, I ordered my Steve Morse (original model) from Amazon the other night. I cannot WAIT to be able to play again, especially a guitar this beautiful and versatile. Looking forward to getting involved in this forum too!:D:D

wow Amazon sells internationally now? they're a great guitar you'll love it

Hey Colin, thanks! I was able to ship through a mate working for the US Govt, which got around the shipping issue. Managed to get the guitar for 1046USD, I could not believe my luck. Can't wait to get it!:D

Bet these are the kinds of stories that Morse just loves...after all he gave up music for a couple years, flew commercially as a pilot and was then drawn back to the music biz.
Hope it inspires you as i know it will. Wishing many years of playing

Wow.....I've been watching the Morse on Amazon for several months and have never seen it drop to almost $1k.

Hey Jack, I had it in my basket for weeks and weeks. It moved around a little, then dropped 300. I bagged it, then next day it shot back up! I think their cookie system might track to see just long you dither on something....cunning!!!

Yeah, but the plane was on auto pilot - While He Practised!! He didn't mention that - did he?? It brings new meaning to "hitting some turbulence"!!

It's here!!! Beautiful straight out the case....perfectly in tune too. My only possible adjustment is to bring down the action at the upper end of the neck. Any one done this? Should I just use the bridge screws to adjust the height?
