{"product_id":"morris-md-505-uni-0005","title":"Morris MD-505 Vintage MIJ Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar w\/ Hard Case","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilt during the golden age of Japanese acoustic guitar production, this Morris MD-505 is a fantastic example of why Morris earned such a strong reputation among players and collectors alike. Inspired by the classic American dreadnought formula, the MD-505 delivers the balanced tone, excellent craftsmanship, and reliability that made Morris one of Japan's most respected acoustic builders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe guitar features a beautifully aged natural finish over a spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides. Decades of natural aging have helped this guitar develop a warm, open voice with excellent clarity and projection. Chords ring with impressive balance while single-note lines remain articulate and focused.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis example has just been cleaned, restrung, and professionally set up. It plays comfortably up and down the neck with excellent action and is ready for its next owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCosmetically, the guitar remains in very good condition. There is normal play wear throughout, including some light surface scratches, small dings, and a few minor finish marks consistent with a vintage instrument that has been enjoyed over the years. The small finish chip on the headstock edge and light marks on the sides are purely cosmetic. Overall, it presents extremely well for its age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wood grain on the mahogany back and sides is particularly attractive and gives the guitar a classic vintage look that has become increasingly difficult to find in this price range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes the original hard case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Made in Japan \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Morris MD-505 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dreadnought body style \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Spruce top \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mahogany back and sides \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rosewood fingerboard and bridge \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Multi-ply binding \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Original Morris hard case included \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fresh strings \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Professionally cleaned and set up \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Very good vintage condition \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Normal play wear throughout \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Light scratches and small cosmetic marks \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Small finish chip on headstock edge \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Structurally sound \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Frets show light wear \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Excellent playing action \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ready to play \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease review all photos carefully, as they are an important part of the description.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCase: Hard\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale Length: 25.5“\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNut Width: 1.71“\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFret Wear: 8.7\/10\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAction at 12F (6th): .09“\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAction at 12F (1st): .05“\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeight: 4lbs 9oz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall Condition: 8\/10\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSound Factor: 11 out of 10\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUSA Seller, check my feedback to see how I value my customers and see my other listings for more rare Japanese Guitars and other unique gear!
