02 Jun 99 - 02:04 PM (#83489) Subject: Morgan Guitars From: Billy I'm looking for feedback on Morgan guitars (out of Vancouver BC I think). I've been told they're quite the instrument, and I'm wondering if there are any Morgan owners out there, or people who've played them and comparable guitars, to give me their perspective. I'm looking for a better quality guitar for solo performance purposes. Presently I'm playing my old '70's Takamine Martin copy, which I'm attached to for sentimental reasons, but the fact is that tone wise she ain't gettin' the job done. I'm looking at around the $2000.00 Cdn range. I'd sure appreciate any suggestions. Billy |

It is a beautiful sounding guitar; solid wood, rosewood back and sides and a spruce top. It has Taylors pick-up system that gives you a great acoustic sound even when you are plugged in. 'Twould be a great road warrior. Roger in Baltimore |
