Description
This very good condition Morgan DR Custom Dreadnought dates to 2020 features a sunburst finish over a Bearclaw Sitka Spruce top and Indian Rosewood back and sides. DR stands for 'Dreadnought Rosewood', distinct from Morgan's 'DM' Dreadnought Mahogany models.
Built in Vancouver by David Iannone, this guitar is in very good, clean condition with very light play, handling and fret wear. It has a full, well defined voice that should continue to develop with playing, and it plays very cleanly and comfortably.
The original Boblen arched top hard shell case is included.
Construction and Materials
The Morgan DR Custom follows the classic pattern and proportions of post-1934 X-braced, square-shoulder, 14-fret neck dreadnoughts.
The top is Sitka Spruce with light Bearclaw figuring, with Indian Rosewood for the sides and back and body binding. The body blocks, linings and neck are South American Mahogany and Ebony is used for the fingerboard and neck. Morgan makes use of Lacewood for the head plate and fingerboard binding. The center rosette ring and dot position markers are Abalone while the Morgan headstock logo combines Abalone and Mother of Pearl. The teardrop-style pickguard is a vintage style faux-tortoise and goes well with the top's sunburst shading.
The finish is a gloss polyurethane in very good, clean condition.
Hardware is minimal, a set of Morgan branded tuners with black finish and a bone nut and saddle. There are no electronics.
About the Builder
Morgan guitars are built in David Iannone’s shop in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Iannone has been building on his own since 1985, following an apprenticeship with Jean Larrivee. Many now-prominent Canadian builders learned and developed their skills in Larrivee‘s shops in Toronto, Victoria and Vancouver.
