2007 Morris W-40 - Natural Finish - Made in Japan - Hardshell Case

Morris W-40
SN#: 070609
Made in Japan
Comes in a hardshell case

This guitar was in 2007 and was crafted by some of the top Japanese acoustic luthiers. As soon as you pick up this natural beauty, you will be blown away by the ease of playability and sweet harmonic tones. 

The construction and looks of this wonderful guitar are based on Martin D45 blueprint, but with a 3 piece back.It is considered a “copy” of Martin D45, but word “copy” suggests a product of somewhat lower quality than the “original," and this guitar can easily match or beat many brand-new Martin guitars.  

It offers impressive volume and superb response. Its sound is ultra-rich with basses that are deep but very “clean" and trebles that are metallic, but sweet at the same time. All notes have their unique colors and all are super clear and well separated.  When chords/arpeggios are played guitar releases a bounty of overtones and harmonies. With its current action it plays ultra-easy.

Cosmetically the guitar exhibits minor handling wear with some finger nail scratches on the top front and scattered dings that comes with natural playing. 

This is one acoustic that will easily slide into your hands, but it will be hard to put down. 

Specifications:

Top: Solid Spruce with reinforcing ring of wood glued underneath the sound-hole /Martin style X bracing not scalloped bracing / Thin Lacquer finish

Back: Madagascar Ebony/Chestnut/Macassar Ebony Semi-Solid

Sides: Madagascar Ebony Semi-Solid

“Laminated” is quite unfortunate term regarding Japanese made guitars. These plates were made from 2 layers of solid wood glued together with natural resins. They were made so well that they performed as good as solid woods while being far less expensive in guitar production and far more resistant to cracking in regular use. In recent years many guitar makers around the world adopted a new term "semi-solid" to describe these plates.

It has just been professionally set up and dialed in for optimal playability and tone. It has low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets have been leveled / dressed / polished and the fingerboard was cleaned. (Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It was professionally set up and has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.
