Morris Guitar Model S 91 Orchestra Model Cutaway

The Morris S Series top is constructed with their original XX bracing Top pattern. By diffusing the positions of the bracing peaks, they are able to distribute the string vibrations from the bridge to the top with better balance, creating fantastically rich sounds that sustain well throughout the register, from the lowest to highest notes.

This is complimented with their unique X Bracing Back. Back braces are normally positioned perpendicular to the strings, reducing some vibration. To eliminate this effect while maintaining the flexibility of the wood, Morris employs a similar diffused X Bracing structure on the round back, allowing it to vibrate like the top, providing a complete, rich, rounded sound.

A gently arching back successfully enhances overall musical quality, yielding real differences in increased volume, powerful sound, and longer sustains. This featured Round Back is rounded both vertically and horizontally, providing a sound unique to Morris guitars.

Morris Guitars S-101 Engelmann Spruce and Inidan Rosewood

Morris Guitars S-101 Engelmann Spruce and Inidan Rosewood

The Morris S101 is the ideal guitar for fingerstyle players. With comfortable string spacing, a rounded back, a thin low profile neck, and XX bracing on the top and X bracing on the back, this instrument has perfectly balanced tones and exceptional playability, responding well to fingerstyle as well as flatpicking.

Morris guitars feature a nut design that shifts the strings slightly to the bass side, positioning the low-E string closer to the edge of the fretboard, allowing for easy fretting with the left-thumb. This feature can be invaluable for complex chord shapes.

The top on this guitar is constructed with their original double XX bracing Top pattern. By diffusing the positions of the bracing peaks, they are able to distribute the string vibrations from the bridge to the top with better balance, creating fantastically rich sounds that sustain well throughout the register, from the lowest to highest notes.

The back is also designed with a compound radius and X braced to enhance the projection.
