Very cool Steve Morse Vid with Kansas

[Butch Snyder]

Found this on youtube tonight. I took a real good look at Steve's guitar. It looks like it was in the development stages. Very very cool...

Oh, the song ain't bad either...

Hey, that's probably why no one has responded except for you. Did you catch that pickguard?

 

[D.K.]

Oh, great to see the first Morse proto in a vid!

I've got a guitar magazine called "Downbeat", it's from April, 1987 - Steve is on the cover with that very same Morse!
I'd love to have that instrument, although my Morse is great either!

 

[Butch Snyder]

I know his #1 is 1/50. I got that from the 3 Youtube vids. Is the guitar from the Kansas vids his #1 with an old pickguard or another guitrar?

 

[D.K.]

I am almost 100% sure it's a different one. You see, his #1 is the first of the PRODUCTION models, that doesn't mean there were no prototypes before.

That's what I was thinking...

I would LOVE to see that pic. Could you post a scan?
Because I only saw that vid but never a pic in good quality.

Thanks in advance!

 

[D.K.]

Sure thing, guys - I am scanning it right now!

You are welcome! Good to know I'm not the only big fan of Steve's in D-Land!!!

That should be of some interest for You as well:

maybe stupid, but what is about this guitar? A SM with a white SC. Is it yours?

Wow, now I think the Morse layout is simple compared to what they started with ...

I know... hijacking .... forgive me, but may someone tell us something about this layout?

Yeah really....

Yes, I'd like to hear a bit as well. I would really like to hear what BP would have to say about the Morse prototype. I'd bet that's an interesting story.
