This is a vintage Morris M-20 classical guitar, made in Japan. Morris-built classicals from this era are known for solid construction and a clear, traditional nylon-string tone, and this one is no exception, though it is very much a player-grade instrument.

The guitar has a warm, balanced voice with good projection and a familiar classical feel. Cosmetically, it shows normal wear for its age but nothing out of line for a working instrument.

That said, there are a few important things to note so expectations are clear.

Condition Notes (please read)

  • The neck has a noticeable down bow, which does make the guitar more difficult to play than a straight-neck example.
  • Action measures approximately 3.5mm on both the bass and treble E strings at the 12th fret. This is playable, but on the higher side.
  • The guitar is stable and intact, but the neck condition is the primary factor affecting playability.
  • Included hard case is rough: only one latch remains functional, and the others have broken off. The case is usable for storage or transport with care, but should be considered a bonus rather than a strong value add.

Because of the neck bow, this guitar is best suited for someone comfortable with vintage instruments, a project-minded buyer, or a player who understands its limitations.
