USED Morris / W-40 made in 1975 [12]

This is a new arrival of an acoustic guitar that represents the Showa era.
Hexagon inlay and 3-piece back are very popular specs that were mass-produced during the Showa period. The guitars sold so well that even with Morris' own factory operating at full capacity, they could not keep up with the demand, so they were manufactured on an OEM basis by S. Yairi, IIDA, TERADA, and others. Even the same W-40 changed specifications every year or two, with some guitars having two-piece backs. The origin of rosewood also seems to have varied. The sound is very crisp and clear even though it is all plywood, which is probably due to the solid construction of the fundamental structure. Please consider this good old Japanese vintage.
There are some scratches and dents on the head veneer, some scratches near the sound hole, and some other minor scratches.
