You can literally hear the age in this instrument. A select, finely vibrating spruce top paired with back and sides made of flamed East Indian rosewood give this guitar its appealing, broad sound, which is ideal for chords, harmonies and 'rhythm work': a loud sound with singing highs, wonderfully carrying mids and powerfully buzzing basses. Like its prototype, this WG-45 has a multitude of lovingly crafted details and trumps with a full, brilliant sound with beautifully resolving resonance made possible by the voluminous body shape.

The company produced Martin and Gibson style replicas in the 70s and 80s and was known for their exceptional quality while offering great value for money. Morris, as one of the leading Japanese guitar makers at the time, was founded in Nagoya in the late 1960s by Toshio Moridaira, a Japanese guitar distributor who had close ties with Gibson and Fender. Truly, some replicas were in no way inferior to their originals, so that the US companies had no choice but to take legal action against them. It was the time when Japanese guitar making was experiencing a veritable golden age, and the high Japanese standards in instrument craftsmanship were achieving world renown. It's a Guild F-50 lean-to by Morris from 1980, a time when faithful replication from the American originals was just beginning to be admonished ('post lawsuit era').
