Duane D. Help: Nine String Guitars (40) RE: Help: Nine String Guitars 05 Apr 00


Back in the early 1970's, a fellow member of a folk music organization in New Jersey that was then known as Project 21, had a six string Morris. It was a visual copy of a Martin D-28, as is my Toredo six string. They could be clones. They're both Japanese made and from the same era. They sound reasonable for rosewood veneer guitars and mine cost $112 new back in 1973, when it was possible to buy a new Martin D-28 for about $450. I've seen several other names on similar guitars of that era including: Penco, Dorrado, and Alvarez-Yarie. Someone told me that most or all of these guitars were made by the same manufacturer and the different jobbers each put they're own name on their's. I also heard that Morris had changed their name to C F Morris, and even had gold lettering in the same style as Martin, just prior to their disappearance.
