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.
