Just got this one yesterday on a trade. It is an 09 EBMM Steve Morse BFR rosewood neck model. Even better than that it is a one off. It is the only Morse built in this color with a rosewood neck. Actually it may be the only Morse in this color period. The color is called Olive Gold and I love it. The thing is like brand new mint and is flawless. I know it's complete origins and it was previously owned by two guys who keep their axes pristine. Acoustically this is probably the loudest most resonant electric guitar I have played. The neck is just fantastic. Feels like butter. Plugged in it sounds equally as great. When I got my Y2D I fell in love with the Morse pickups and in this guitar they are just as great. Although even though the switching is more complicated it has a wider variety of tones on tap. It is also a bit fatter and warmer sounding with more depth to the tone than the Y2D. I would say it's due to the fact it has the rosewood neck and also that it doesn't have a maple cap like the Y2D does. I am in love with it. Here are some pics:
Firstly, I love the look of this guitar, very classy.
Secondly, this sort of find is one of the reasons I love the internet and sites like this. We'd never get to learn about these sorts of one offs if it wasn't for this type of board. thanks for sharing. I just love to see rare versions of our favourite guitars cropping. It's even better when they end up in the hands of folks who'll really appreciate them
Very nice! I'm getting some real GAS for those morse models.. Unfortunately I only have those four pickups. Oh well, only body, neck, hardware and everything else missing. Not bad.
