He knows exactly what he wants
Guitar World has an interview with Steve Morse, and it gets pretty gear-heavy pretty quickly. Here it is, with more details on basic single coils vs stacked coil pickups than most of us ever wanted to know.
If forced to make a choice, would you rather buy a really good electric guitar and a cheap amp, or a cheap guitar and a top-notch high-end guitar amp?
Man, that’s a tough one, but the guitar wins. I need to have various tones coming straight from the instrument. The amp is a big part of things, but the guitar is the biggest. That is partly because some cheap amps sound like 80 per cent as good as a great amp. But most guitars that are cheap can’t do anything like the range of sounds on my guitar.

Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
I’m a huge fan of Steve’s albums, “Major Impacts 2”, & “Out Standing In Their Field”. His work with DP is untouchable in my opinion. A master of the guitar & a good natured fellow.

That was a good short read, especially for guitarists, as input like that goes a long way into your own rigs considerations.
And if you check-out the interview with Leslie West by clicking on the last tab on the RHS as you read through Steve’s article, you will be even more rewarded !
Adonai !
November 13th, 2024 at 22:48I really like Simon and “= 1” a lot. Deep Purple is still great.
November 13th, 2024 at 23:52Having said this, I really love the Steve Morse era of Deep Purple.
To me, every album was very good, a few, even wonderful.
The tours, really good, especially 1998-1999, GAD!
I was very sad when he left. He saved my favorite band.
Onward to Deep Purple and Steve Morse.
All the best to all these guys.
Deep Purple Forever!
Yep, I said it.
