Morris : a Japanese maker which made lots of good guitars in the 70s and early 80s. It seems they had some connexion with the Hondo brand, except that the Morris name was used for top-of-the-line instruments.
Morris acoustic guitars from this era are very sought after and sound real good. They also offered Gibson and Fender copies of quite good quality, though they never were as famous as Ibanez or Tokai.
The Morris company still exists, recently they resumed export of acoustic guitars to Europe and the US.
Hope that helps.
