The new Morse has arrived....

[SteveLINY]

I love it to death....
It's a great counterpart to my main baby....The 6 bolt Morse...
I got it from Jason at DrumCity Guitarland....... Freakin great guy to deal with....

and of course...with her semi twin......
Amazing, the color difference.... But it plays like butter.....

 

[SteveLINY]

LOL....
The new guitar looks so much bigger in that last pic....LOL
But it's the same

6 Bolt?
How long have they had that?

Only the first 90 to 95 had 6 bolt. It's been 5 bolt since.
I think Jon could answer it more accurately.

Infact, many older EBMM's pre 90-91 had 6 bolts....I was watching a Morse Blue Beater Silo on ebay last week and it had the ol' 6 and it was either an 89 or 90...so it wasn't a specific # of your particular model per se....but more a defacto spec and design change...Glenn can attest to this.

I think he is saying that the old one is a 6 bolt...

Bingo....call me Professor Redundancy.

I could be wrong but the first picture shows that the hex polepieces of the bridgepickup are not aligning with the strings. Is it an F-spaced pickup or not? Seems like it's not...........

I think you're right - it doesn't look f-spaced at all

 

[Supreeth]

Very nice SteveLINY. That looks like one happy pair of Steve Morse signature guitars

Must be the same with all Floyd equipped SM MM.
Cause mine's the same.
Doesn't affect the sound though (that's my job)

Strange. My Silo's (one stop tail and one Floyd) had stock F-spaced pickups, even the neck HB was F-spaced.

If it sounds good, then who cares? It's good enough for Morse, so it's good enough for us mere mortals

Per Steve's request The bridge pickup is not F spaced. Steve has always liked the sound of "G" spaced pickups installed on his frankenstein model from the 70's.

This will be a question if not posted...

F Spaced = Fender spacing
G Spaced = Gibson spacing

What this translates to is the string spacing of the bridge...a common misnomer is that F Spacing = Floyd spacing....not true in the least.

THANKS!



Sometimes Its hard to mention competitors names on the Forum.

I saw the title of the post and thought something else.
Congratulations on the Floyded Morse. She's a beauty.

I'm glad to see you too Derek

And I always thought it was "F spaced = Floyd spaced"

 

[tommyindelaware]

but.................................floyds ARE f spaced............

Exactly
