Steve Morse Y2D question

[freeman]

Hi guys,
I'm looking for versatile guitar. I play blues, hair metal, and Petrucci, DT music. A month ago I checked Luke for a couple of days. It's so great, almost perfect except the neck profile, not fit my hand perfectly. I own a JP6, I'm really into its shape.
I wonder how the Y2D's clean and bluesy tone sound? Do you guys think it would do the styles I mentioned above? How about the neck shape?
Thanks so~~~~~~much!

The Y2D can handle the musical styles mentioned.

The neck is unlike the Luke and the Petrucci, so maybe you ought to give it a whirl.

For me, the Y2D neck is perfect. Hands-down it's my favourite profile. But eveybody's different so yeah, you should give it a play first.

The big thing you miss on it from the Luke are the strat sounds. The single-coil neck and quacky neck/middle sound. That said, the pickups on the Y2D are phenomenal. The bridge/middle sound is really really great.

SteveB is a wise man ... I also think it can cover your syles just fine.

Thanks guys.
I've been Vancouver 5 years, never saw a Steve Morse model in the store.

the Y2D can do the work just perfect, I´ve never played a more complete guitar, it can give you blues, metal or whate ever you whant, but with a tone so great it blows my mind.

I just got my SM-Y2D last week and so far I'm very happy. An awesome "super strat." I have the Floyd version. The pickups are excellent along with the feel of the instrument (and it looks cool). Everyone I've shown it to their jaws drop, and I have the standard top in Purple Sunset.

I have the same question about the neckshape of the Steve Morse MM. How is the neck in comparisson to the Silhouette (or others)?

I'm thinking of buying one of these. I already tested the Silhouette Special and the neck feels great, but it's hard to find a shop where I can test the Steve Morse.

if you like the silo neck, you won´t have problems with the morse neck.
maybe the morse is a bid thicker but the nutwidth is the same.

They're similar in a lot of ways. But the new Morse profile is thinner to me than the Silhouette neck.

 

[Colin]

you can't go wrong with the Y2D

Or the Silohouette Special.

The thing I love most about it is the tones for Blues songs. I am sure the Morse can cover it too (I have never tried one either), but the SS has those bases covered!

My Y2D is one versatile guitar. From what I hear, the standard Morse model may give you more strat options, but I don't need em. Bought it from the great folks at Act 1 in Langley. They should be able to fix you up.

sorry for the hijack......is the BFR SM replacing the Y2D?

What is this BFR Steve Morse you speak of?

I haven't heard about a BFR Y2D

 

[Ripper]

IMO, the SM Y2D is a BFR, sans logo and moniker.

Then I'm nuts and making up guitars again. That's what I get for straying out of the JP world LOL.

There has been a BFR Y2D proto - Steve got it ages back. At the Desert party I overheard him, BP and Dudley talking about it (he's always on the quest for the perfect tone). Anyhow, didn't seem like there was an update to speak of. Would be neat if it made it out one day though. (I'd sure as hell be in line!)

that was interesting watching Dudley, Sterling and Steve test it. Not to mention the guitar tech changing guitars mid song

Hard not to be glued to the stage when Steve's warming up like that
