MORRIS HAND MADE PREMIUM The top model in the S series! The popular S-107III with outstanding sound! Maurice has a long history as a domestic manufacturer and has a wide range of f ans, from legendary musicians to amateurs. Despite their careful craftsmanship, they boast incredible cost performance and offer a wide lineup that covers everything from folk style to finger style. Maurice is a long-established Japanese brand that dominated the folk music boom of the 1970s, but it was also Maurice that developed and released a guitar that was ideal for the new movement known as "fingerstyle guitar" in the 2000s, playing a key role in spreading and recognizing this style throughout Japan. The S Series was released in 2001 as a dedicated fingerstyle instrument and gained popularity for its style-specific playability and outstanding sound. Since then, it has been improved many times, and is now a guitar series that continues to be in use today, more than 20 years later, as a ``masterpiece of fingerstyle guitar'' loved by a wide range of players, from beginners to veterans. This instrument, the S-107III, is a top-of-the-line model in the handmade premium S series, characterized by its distinctive bridge and luxurious looks. It features a Grand Auditorium/Deep Round body, solid American cedar top, solid Indian rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck, and ebony fingerboard and bridge. The unique round back design provides a rich, full bass while maintaining a well-balanced range. As expected of a high-end model, this model stands out among the S series for its excellent sound. The mid-range in particular has a very strong projection and a solid fundamental tone, so even with powerful picking, the sound flies forward smoothly without any fluctuations. The distinctive asymmetrical bridge plate is designed not only for aesthetic reasons but also to efficiently transmit string vibrations. The luxurious-looking rosette ring, crafted from wood, is also an attractive feature. With a long scale and Gotoh peg tuners that provide exceptionally stable pitch even with drop tuning, a 44mm nut and ultra-thin neck shape that make it easy to play even with precise fingering, and other features that meet the precise demands of fingerstyle guitarists, this guitar is sure to become a reliable companion. With a price range of around 300,000 yen, this is a high-end model in the S series, but considering the sound and meticulous design, I think it's a good deal. This is a guitar that we can confidently recommend to anyone looking for a fingerstyle guitar that is satisfying in both sound and looks! Please take a look at it and see for yourself!-SPEC- Body Style: Classical Auditorium / Deep Round Back / Florentine Cutaway Top: Solid American Cedar Back: Solid Indian Rosewood Side: Solid Indian Rosewood Top Bracing : Scalloped XX Bracing Back Bracing: X Bracing Neck: Mahogany Fingerboard: Ebony Bridge: Ebony Nut Width: 44mm Scale: 652mm Head Inlay: Bird Inlay Position Mark: 12F (Riento) Head Tuner: GOTOH/SG381-B20 CR Nut Material: Graph Tech/TUSQ Saddle Material: Graph Tech/TUSQ Bridge Pins: Graph Tech/TUSQ PU System: B.BAND / A1.2M & UST-25R Finish: Gloss Color: NAT Case: MHB-3 Hard Case Show more
