The super shredder and melodic master details all the idiosyncrasies that make his original signature guitar one of one.
Steve Morse and Andy West are legendary players. In addition to co-founding the Dixie Dregs together in Augusta, Georgia, in 1970, both virtuosos have colorful personal resumes.
Guitar giant Morse’s is more high-profile. He remains the leader of the Steve Morse Band, who opened the Dregs’s late April show at Nashville’s CMA Theater, where this Rundown was filmed, with 45 minutes of smart shred. He’s also been a member of Kansas and Deep Purple, as well as another instrumental powerhouse, Flying Colors.
Besides his tenure in the Dregs, West has recorded with Vinnie Moore, the Steve Morse Band, Paul Barrere, and Henry Kaiser, with whom he’s been a member of the Mistakes, Crazy Backwards Alphabet, and Five Time Surprise, which also includes Messthetics guitarist Anthony Pirog. (Full disclosure: I recorded a version of Steppenwolf’s “The Pusher” with Kaiser and West as part of Kaiser’s Moods & Modes of Halloween video quarterly in 2023.)
The Music City show was classic Dixie Dregs, with more than two hours of high-wire playing, all anchored by the bold melodies that mark their compositions. Joined by longtime Dregs drummer Rod Morgenstein, violinist Allen Sloan, and keyboard player Steve Davidowski, the concert was an affirmation of Morse and West’s vitality and musical partnership after sharing stages for more than 50 years.
In the video, Steve and Andy explain their rigs in person and in detail.

Even with Steve’s medical problems he’s playing at an ultra high level.
Met him at the Texas Opry House in the late 70s, he was super nice to me. Gave me the WHAT IF album before it was released and talked about his guitar and the van they were in. He and Rod Morgenstein and Andy West, all super nice to a kid enthralled over the Dixie Dreggs.
I would love it if Steve would have had his old Franken-tele laying around to show off. It was the inspiration that lead me to a lifetime of loading pick-ups into and modding telecasters.
That's awesome, Strat necks too?
@@aschule5684 Absolutely!
@@jeffanderson8384 that's very cool my friend, I'm really actually surprised Steve never worked with Fender to build another one for nostalgia reasons if nothing else. Or replicate it for a Steve Morse signature series. I'm certain there's many Morse fans that would love to own one. I know his Ernie Ball does everything the Frank did but how cool would it have been to have Fender replicate it? There's nothing quite like a Strat or a Tele I wonder if that was ever considered? I'd love to be able to ask him
@@aschule5684 They left it up to all of us "pieces/parts" people.
@@jeffanderson8384 I actually saw one that was being sold on "Reverb" but it wasn't quite the same it had a Tele neck
I remember seeing an earlier Rig Rundown where Steve discusses this guitar, and he said the folks at Music Man were totally baffled by the switching configuration he had designed.
I saw Steve with Purple in 1998, and while I'd long known that he was incredibly gifted, what I saw that night totally blew my mind. As I said to the guy standing next to me, "Ritchie WHO?"
super guitar... hopely i have one in the future
This man! Is among the likes of Les Paul, EVH, Brian May and any others that take what is and force it, mould it and shape it in to something that is new, ergonomic and ultimately better than what was offered. These people are my heroes. It’s these people that should be allowed to be let off the leash, and change the world.
Crazy timing. The other day, for some reason I remembered how in the '90s they would advertise this guitar in guitar magazines and I would just stare at the ad forever, wanting it. So maybe 3 days ago I randomly thought of that and was thinking that I should try to find some old photos of it, then this video came up on my UA-cam and he said they still make the guitar even. Once again the universe is trying to make me spend money I don't have.
Sounds great~✨
I loved when he used to play his Tele.
Love ❤
Need a Behind the Music on #1 pretty much
❤How cool❤
A friend left his EBMM Steve Morse in my studio for safekeeping. With his permission, I swap the pickup Selector for the single coil and the neck humbucker so that in the middle position, it will select the single coil, and in the the neck position, it will select the neck humbucker, as most of us will expect it 😂
It’s good to see him doing good after losing his wife. She meant a lot to him.
My top five: Billy Gibbons, Trevor Rabin, Steve Morse, Eddie Van Halen, Ted Nugent.
Trevor doesn't get the acclaim he so richly deserves. I saw him with Yes in 1988, and his extended solo in 'Yours Is No Disgrace' was a masterclass.
Off the top of my head, I'd have to list my Top 5 in no particular order as Les Paul, Tommy Bolin, Randy Rhoads, Jimi, David Gilmour, Jimmy Page, Peter Green and Jeff Beck. Oh, wait, that's eight. Oh, well. 😅
Oh, and EVH... That's nine.
@@markgarner2725Gary Moore😊
LoL! teD nugenT!
So much for dressing up to interview a legend... lol.
It’s rock and roll not a funeral.
🤣🤣😂😂
Way too short of an interview!
