Title: A Steve Morse type of guitar project
Post by: Blazer on October 26, 2008, 06:30:55 PM

Okay I assume that we're all aware of Steve Morse and his crazy four pickup guitar with everything-but-the-kitchen-sink switching options

This guitar has been extremely high on my GAS list and because I lack the finances to buy one I decided to start tinkering with some parts and this is what I came up with so far.

The body is a solid alder Jack & Danny Jazzmaster type of body which has a swimming pool rout, making it easy for me to install whatever pickup combination I can think of. The Floyd Rose is a Gotoh, the pickups are leftovers from a lot of "Dude, can you replace the pickups of my guitar for EMG's" jobs and the neck is one of the many spare necks I had lying around.

I'll keep you guys updates on how this one will devellop.

Only four? There's clearly room for another single coil in there!  :mrgreen:
seriously though, I would love to have one of those too.
