Thread Name: Moridaira guitar
Subject: Moridaira guitar
I've got a Moridaira model 9545 dreadnought that I purchased new in the late 60's/early 70's (for the princely sum of £40!). I got it for no better reason than the Yamaha FG180's were sold out, and this one sounded nice.
I now realise that it's something of a novelty, as Mr Moridaira's instruments were marketed under the name "Morris". I know of no-one with one of these instruments, and I'm in the trade.

Has any one else got one, or can anyone shed any light on these instruments? Have I got the only one surviving? If I have, maybe I should have thought twice before letting my son use it as a thrashing box in his rock band!
