Rig Rundown: Deep Purple’s Steve Morse

The guitarist details the signature Ernie Ball Music Man guitars, Engl amps, and specialized effects he uses on the road.

Morse designed his second wave signature model 20 years after the first, hence the name Ernie Ball Music Man SM-Y2D. It has a flame-maple top, and he favors this Y2D with a red and purple tinted finish and Floyd Rose while playing with Deep Purple on tunes like “Smoke on the Water.”
