1979 Morris Torndado Electric Acoustic Model TX
Posted by gordmer on Tue, 08/23/2011 - 05:31.
I bought this guitar on ebay about 5 years ago... ovation back. It has been an amazing guitar but I just bought a Carparelli DOS Hollow Body Jazz Guitar (what a beauty) and I have a Larravie electric accoustic. I want to sell the Tornado but no idea what it goes for... there is no info anywhere on this guitar... I paid $500 7 years ago and I thought I got a great deal once I played it... anyone?
I paid $700 10 years ago.. the guitar is in what I would call good- very good shape, not new but still... has some minor dings and the metal frets are worn on the 1st to 4th frets... needs a new pick-up but that is about $100.00 at long and mcquade.. being that it is a 35 year old guitar that has been played alot... any idea where I would go about selling this?

: Does anybody know how many Morris W604M guitars were made, and how much it may be worth today?
: Thanks.
Hello,
I have a Morris W 604, buyed over 1980. I know this guitars were handmaded and they are quiet apreciated. Even Nowadays it sounds really excelent, much better than many models of Takamine, Fender, Ibanez etc,
A buddy of mine just gave me this guitar, its in very good condition which is surprising considering where he found it and in what part of the world I'm in right now. Its a 1975 Morris M-18. I put new strings on it and it sounds great, but I would like to know more about it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Well, I'm no longer where I was. My buddy gave me the guitar while we were on tour in Afghanistan. He found it in KAF buried in some dark dirty dusty corner. It had been there a while, showed signs of drying out, the fret bars were starting to protrude from the neck, not too bad though. A few nicks and cuts, the keys needed help, but the neck was good and the body whole, it was a really nice guitar considering. I couldn't bring it home in the end, I really wish I had. Still can't find any info on it though.

I have a Morris W-60 acoustic guitar that I like but know nothing about. If anybody has any information on this guitar please e-mail me at raybakerjr@yahoo.com

http://www.wave440.com/morrisold.html
Basically the 6à models are made with a solid spruce top, laminated brazilian rosewood bac and sides and maple center piece on the back. The neck is Nato, fingerboard and bridge are rosewood.
I have a B-60 (same in 12th strings)

I have been looking for a GZ Morris Tornado for years and have never ever seen one except for the one I played in "Brashes", Melbourne, Australia in Queens Street(no longer exists) 23 years ago. It was a lovely intrument. It has the mother of pearl a through the neck and plays so sweet.
I am alays interested in one if someone out there finds one!
Regards
Gary

Hello everybody. Does anyone have information on a Morris WL-35 acoustic (Western) guitar? The guitar is craftmanship made (made in Japan), the color is black with mother-of-pearl marquetries on the top and on the fingerboard. White Bindings. Very remarkable are two (!)pickguards (left and right of the sound hole). I don't know anything about the materials, I am not expert. Does anybody know this guitar? When was it manifactured and what was the former price?
Regards
Klaus, Cologne, Germany
Hi, I have the same guitar, there is quite few information about, but those white things you see are made from yvory. I am trying to sell mine but I do not know its market price. Any clue?
regards from spain.
Well I got one, too. On the Morris-Website they even don't list up this guitar, which suprised me. If there is a possibility to do so, I would upload a picture I took from my guitar.
But regarding to Mario, I don't know its market price, too.

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help does anyone know the value of a Morris model 645 it was bought in Germany in about 1979/80 it is a fantastic looking acoustic with mother of pearl all over it.
I would really appreciate any guidance Cheers Tim (From the UK)
Hi Tim, i am Arne from Berlin i also have a Morris TF 645 i bought it for little money and cant find informations in the WWW.
Can you or anybody else tell me more about this amazing guitar? Cheers, Arne
hay guys ive got a old morris MC30 and its the greast guitar ive ever had but i carnt find anything about it on the net its semi acoustic the guitar is black with a red trip around it and alone the neck and it also has a cut in thing i was wondering wat its worth and is it rare could some1 email be bak on that hollis_360@hotmail.com
Hi! A Morris W611 Deluxe is from 1978 my own guitar, like also a Tornado model of first '80 age. If for the second one I have had some details, about the first I'm not able to find anything.
The guitar is craftmanship made, body in rosewhood and Jacaranda on the back, rosewood on the band, cedar, I think, on the top, mahogany the neck's body, ebony the fingerboard.
"She" has mother-of-pearl marquetries on the top, on the fingerboard so like on the upper side of the neck.
I post from Italy. Someone of you know this fantastic guitar? What kind of strings do you use? Have you an idea of the value?
Posted by Mattias in Sweden on Thu, 06/02/2005 - 14:18.
I also like to know more about my Morris WE-74. It is very easely played and has good tone, Aucustic with a built in microphone in the bridge. Someone who has any history about the guitar ?
Any idea about its value ? I´m not interesed in selling it for the insurance-value.
The guitar has a signature but I cant read it.....
Does anyone have any info on this Guitar ! i think it came out around the mid 80s. has the classic heavy metal shape. It looks good but i would love to know what the body is made out of and any other info would be good.
I also have a Hurricane Rosa and I also know very little about it! Mine is like a pearl white colour, what is your's? All I know is that it was made in Japan in the early or mid eighties....
Any more information would be hugely appreciated as there seems to be very little information about Morris electric guitars on the web. Even Harmony Central only has one review of the Hurricane Rosa and it reads as though that dude was totally stoned when he wrote it!
If it is the guitar I am thinking of, Jason Becker and Marty Friedman were sponsored by them in the late 80's. You can see their guitars on the album covers of "Speed Metal Symphony" and "Dragon's Kiss". As soon as those guys got famous, they were sponsered by bigger name companies.
That is all I know about those guitars. I have been trying to find out info on them myself. I guess Friedman might answer you if you email him. Jason Becker has been stricken with ALS.
Great metal albums BTW
I've got a late 60s early70s wd-25. It is a copy of a Gibson j-45 and it has some of the early j-45 features (50s ie large beefy neck, reverse bridge) and some of the later features(70s i.e pickguard)It has a vintage sunburst finish, large gibson pickguard, older gibson style big neck, and the slope shoulders. These are great, well-made examples of japanese copies built by Toshio Moridaira and you don't see this particular model in the US. Ive only seen one other.
