The Morris WM-35 is a beautiful Made in Japan vintage dreadnought from the 1970s, featuring classic Martin D-28 inspired styling and the craftsmanship that made Japanese acoustic guitars of this era so highly regarded.

One of its most attractive features is the stunning naturally aged honey-amber finish, which has developed a rich, warm golden colour over decades. Combined with its traditional dreadnought shape, classic vertical Morris headstock logo and elegant body binding, this guitar has a truly authentic 1970s vintage appearance.

Featuring a Solid spruce top with beautiful rosewood-style back and sides, the WM-35 offers the classic tonal character associated with vintage Japanese dreadnoughts — warm bass, clear trebles and a rich, woody midrange. Its full-bodied acoustic response makes it suitable for strumming, flatpicking and fingerstyle.

This guitar has been carefully cleaned, polished and freshly set up, with action measuring approximately 2.5mm (Low E) / 2.0mm (High E) at the 12th fret, offering comfortable and responsive playability.

Cosmetically, it is in Very Good vintage condition, exceptionally well-preserved for its age, with only a few minor surface scratches and light signs of previous use. The beautifully aged amber finish remains particularly attractive, giving this instrument plenty of genuine vintage charm.

It also comes with a hard case, providing convenient storage and protection.
