Morris - Luthier #80 - - Acoustic guitar - Japan - 1967

Wonderful and incredibly rare Morris Luthier #80 classical guitar, made in Japan in 1967. Check out the demo video I recorded of myself playing the guitar: https://youtu.be/_XlsptejszY HISTORY OF THE GUITAR This is an exceptionally rare piece of Japanese guitar history from 1967—the very first year the Morris brand existed. Before Morris became a major factory producer in the 1970s, founder Toshio Moridaira ran a specialized, elite workshop to establish the brand's reputation for premium quality. This instrument is part of the legendary, short-lived "Luthier" series, signed by the revered master luthier Ryohei Tahara himself. Tahara was a prominent Japanese luthier, highly regarded for his early work and for his later "Jumbo" and "Tahara" branded instruments from the 1970s. Please note that the history section above is approximate, as there is not much official information about this guitar. It sounds great for both classical and modern music (folk, indie, etc.). It currently has medium-tension nylon strings. There is some dust inside; I cleaned it as best I could, but it would benefit from a more thorough cleaning. The tuning machines still work, but are a bit squeaky and worn. As you can see in the photos, the guitar has many imperfections overall, giving it an old-school appearance. There is little room to lower the saddle, although I wouldn't recommend doing so, as the guitar sounds nice with the current string height. But this is up to each player's preference. Please check the photos and videos carefully; they are the best way to understand the guitar's condition and sound. This guitar is probably more than 50 years old, so please adjust your expectations accordingly: - It may have scratches, blemishes, cracks, and other imperfections - The internal structure may have issues such as detached parts - There may be rust on the tuning machines - It will feel different from a new instrument - It has not been professionally set up, so adjustments may be needed to improve its playability I'd recommend it to people with some experience with vintage guitars who are willing to make adjustments down the line, or who can embrace its imperfections in exchange for a special sound and vibe.
