I agree with you on Steve Morse. In my opinion, he's actually a bit like Bumblefoot. I'm not a huge fan of either's solo-work, but in their respective bands (Deep Purple for Steve, Guns N' Roses for Bumblefoot), they rock. Bumble did a pretty great job on the stuff on GNR's Chinese Democracy-album (even though many die-hard GNR-fans don't like it because it lacks Slash' guitar), and Steve Morse has done a great job on a lot of Deep Purple's music.

My local guitar store is usually pretty good at getting high-end guitars home, but out of their 6 stores, they have PRS guitars in maybe 2 of them, both located over 200km from where I live... I'm not that desperate to try one out :)


Oh, I forgot to mention, the opening act for the Deep Purple and ELP show I saw was Dream Theater! It was actually Dream Theater we went to see. Got right up in front of the stage since they weren't widely know then. That was memorable!!

I kept hearing good things about PRS and decided to give them a try. It's too bad that you have to try so hard...
