Morris Telecaster Thinline Model

Well, most of people know Morris brand as acoustic guitar.
They were very successful as acoustic guitar supplier early 70's here.
Of course, they challenged the electric guitar market with Morris brand.
However, as far as I know, their electric guitar sales was not really good.
They were offering only cheap model with bolt on type Les Paul, SG and Stratocaster.
I remember they started H.S. Anderson brand in 1974-75.
These were completely different guitars, more closed to original Fender or Gibson.
But these are incredible expensive guitars targeting the high income end-users.

This guitar, I never seen. I have several Morris electric guitars. But most of them are not really good
quality staff. But this is not cheap line. I never seen this model even on their official catalog.
Maybe, this one made for the show or just proto type.

I felt that Morris didn't pay attention about the production cost for this guitar.
The body material is Mahogany. It was made Top and back wood. The main body is Mahogany 2PLY.
I think even Greco didn't offer like this replica model in 74.
The Pick up is same size with Fender original with Morris Logo... They made it just for this guitar?
The Position marks are abalone inlay.
Also, output jack is same style with original Fender. I knew that most of makers are just using the
Jack plate for Tele style guitar.

Pretty strange guitar. But it is great tone.
The neck, frets and electric circuits are perfect.

I don't like to sell this guitar. But if you like to try, just ask us.
The hard case will be provided as shown.

Well, try JV legend guitar!
