NGD #3 - EBMM Steve Morse Starry Night

Bowks

I'm playing catch up on here, as I actually picked this up in November, but I hope it's better late than never!

This is a guitar that I could have and should have purchased 30 years ago, when I had a Saturday job at one of the UK's first Music Man dealers, the now defunct Ealing Music. 

This is another of the Starry Night limited run, so it has a roasted maple neck, an ebony fingerboard and stainless steel frets, as well as a very sparkly finish! Pics are courtesy of the dealer that originally sold it, as the light isn't great in the man cave for photos.




 It's a very versatile guitar in terms of sounds and didn't take too long to get my head around the pickup switching, although I might change the wiring of the 3 way blade as the standard configuration switches from bridge, then neck, then middle pickup. I'll change it to the more conventional bridge, middle, neck set up.

Doesn't have enough pickups for me

I was toying with a piezo bridge and changing the single coils for Hot Rails, then adding phase switching ;-)

My wife bought me a Y2D for Xmas, I love it. Thankfully it had a simplified control layout, I think me head would have exploded with yours!

Love the starry night finish. Great snag. I have the purple sunset Y2D and original blueburst version of yours

I bet that roasted neck feels sublime ? The normal ones are superb but bet that takes it up a notch. You need that video to truly appreciate it. Pics don't do it justice. I'm a jealous bunny

Saw some of these in peach guitars last year. That starry night finish looks absolutely incredible in person. Love it!

Sounds to me like you've been told to treat yourself a Starry Night Albert Lee!
