hard one ^^ IMO the Signature without the maple top has a different sound than the Y2D, it's a bit more "airy" and open (guitar word alert) and the Y2D has a bit more balls and is thicker in sound. Haven't played the 2HB model yet but would be interesting. maybe I would give the Y2D in Blue Burst Flame a try. Seems that there are not a lot of them around.

I guess it depends why you want a Morse. For the real Morse thing, the original pickup config does it best. But- it's an odd duck, so you have to be in to that sort of thing. (The new sparkly Morse finish is pretty sweet imo.)
One of the best things about the Morse is the neck- the profile is amazing. So if you want the Morse but simpler, get a Y2D.
I think the Tahitian has a bigger neck profile than the OG Morse or Y2D. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong on that one.

I confirm, the Tahitian blue has same profile than the Darklord model, which was derived from a custom EB Steve Morse model made for Joe Bonamassa with a 59 Les Paul neck profile. I have both and found them quite fantastic and playable( neck is thicker and larger ar the nut - so definitely not an Ibanez wizard neck ). By the way the Tahitian blue color is incredible and must be seen in person, so many shades of blue and green...

well, there you go. a tailor friend of mine made me some Steve Morse inspired pick holders for a couple of my guitars, according to Tommy's instructions. the picks hold better than you might think and are very useful live.
thank you guys for your help in the first place.

thank you! fanboy alert I know haha. I'm really happy with it (enjoy the small things) and have it on a couple guitars right now. It's super practical, when you're not singing in a band and therefore you don't have a mic stand to put on the picks. this way you always have your picks right beside your fingertips, even when your on the other side of the stage. cool thing Tommy and Steve in invented this years ago, and it's kinda strange that there is no market for that.

I can ask her of course and how much she would need for it (Material, Work, shipping).
I guess it would be cool to send a package of 3 pick holders, so the price comes down a bit.

Great job! Came out really well.
My best solution is having a strap with a pickholder on the side. I swap picks throughout the night.

Thank you!
Yes I had this too but never felt comfortable with. I had so selfmade prototypes in the past, but now with this leather toping it looks and feels great to me.
If there are any interests in those pick holders, feel free to contact me so I can arrange something. We're all Steve Morse Fanboys and I'm happy to help out.

Perhaps you can add France to your future commercial empire ????
But beware with USA, you will have to pay tariffs ...

Yes of course. You can send me a PN with how many pick holders you would be interested in, so I can check about the shipping prices etc.
I would not call it an empire haha. It's a small handy thing for guitar players.
