Ghost Modular Pickup System on a Steve Morse signature guitar
"Not only does the Ghost Modular Pickup System give you the strength and great set up on your bridge that “Graph Tech” is known for, but, it also has a piezo/acoustic pick-up and a Hexpander MIDI interface system”. "I love it on this guitar because the Morse guitar has a lot of options with the pick-ups that come stock with this guitar, with the “Graph Tech” I can get any style and sound I want and need with one guitar, a real plus when flying to get to a gig." - Joey Stuckey
