Steve Morse – CUSTOM ELECTRONICS

CUSTOM ELECTRONICS

The Steve Morse signature guitar is equipped with two DiMarzio custom humbucking pickups, one DiMarzio custom single coil, and one proprietary single coil pickup. When combined, these pickups, controlled by a 3-way lever and two toggle switches, provide a total of 11 different pickup configurations, allowing for a wide range of tonal possibilities.

TUNE-O-MATIC BRIDGE

In use since the early 1950s, this popular bridge option is standard on the Steve Morse signature guitar. The Tune-o-Matic bridge is excellent for players who prefer a hardtail bridge option with great sustain and allows for easy string replacement.
5-BOLT SCULPTED NECK JOINT

The Steve Morse signature guitar utilizes a sculpted neck joint, providing uninhibited access to all 22 stainless steel frets atop a roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard.
