  • "When I’m playing music or I'm writing music it's the closest I can get to what I'm hearing in my head. It's the closest I can get to what I'm trying to express, or what feeling I'm trying to slowly chip away at inside of me." In this episode, Ernie Ball artist Shaun Morgan of Seether discusses his inspiration with guitar, his love of playing, and his relationship with Ernie Ball from the beginning.
    String Theory is a web series from Ernie Ball that explores the sonic origins of some of music's most innovative players.

    I'm a drummer and don't know much about guitar, but Shaun is a good rhythm player and his guitar work is all it Should be. He's solid. However where Shaun's talent shines is the fact that he's one of the best song writers out there. I've been listening to Seether since Disclaimer when I was 8 years old, and to be honest this band has gotten me through some very fucked up situations in my life. That and their tone is just badass haha. I'm more of a death head, but I'll never forget where it started for me and that's hard rock. Shaun is the Kurt of my generation and it's obvious that Kurt is one of his biggest influences

      His guitar is listed in the Vault on Schecter's website, which is for old or discontinued guitars. My assumption is he isn't working with them any more. I'm sure he still plays the ones he has in his possession, but I don't believe they will be his primary guitars anymore.
