1972 Morris F-20

This 1972 Morris F-20 is a beautiful vintage acoustic guitar made in Japan during the golden era of Japanese guitar production.

With its comfortable folk-sized body, the F-20 delivers a warm, balanced and mature acoustic character. It is responsive enough for fingerstyle playing while still offering plenty of presence for strumming, with the dry and woody tone associated with well-aged Japanese acoustics.

The guitar is in very good overall condition for its age, with attractive natural ageing and only light cosmetic signs of use.

Please note that there was previously a crack to the neck, as clearly shown in the photographs. The crack has been repaired and is currently stable, with no indication that it is worsening. The guitar plays normally and everything else is working as it should.

It has been cleaned, checked and set up, and is ready to play.

🎼 Why buy this guitar?

The Morris F-20 is a lovely example of early 1970s Japanese acoustic craftsmanship. These older Morris guitars are appreciated for their comfortable feel, characterful construction and naturally aged tone.

Apart from the clearly disclosed and repaired neck crack, this guitar remains in very good condition and plays as it should. It would make a great affordable vintage instrument for a player who values genuine Japanese character over showroom perfection.
