Morgan Live

Worst guitar I ever purchased!

Bridge was made too high, neck is slightly warped. The nut & saddle were used and in bad shape. They were both sanded to be sloped higher to compensate for the warped neck. The 12th fret was 3.8 mm a the treble E was buzzing. I had it worked on it is better with a new bone saddle and nut but the area of the slot for the nut is cut too deep so the new nut is a temporary fix it couldn’t be molded for the slot. It was not playable when I got it but it will play poorly now. I feel I should be compensated something I took the effort to repair but this guitar was a reject from somewhere. It could not be sold the way it is. The tech said the bridge could be sanded down but the guitar isn’t worth it. Thanks for a very damaged guitar! It is not worth the postage to send it back. I bought this same guitar when they first came out. It was good other than the boxy sound due to the heavy bracing inside. I ended up selling it. I bought this one after finding the bracing had been corrected. I feel I should be sent a revised one On the bracing. This guitar is going to the dumpster probably. Very disappointed.

Everything about the guitar was perfect, sound was rich and full and the neck is one of the most comfortable I’ve played, although the upper frets felt rough and not fully polished making vibrato and bends difficult at those upper frets.

Morgan Live - What's Not to Like?

I really can't find anything to complain about. This mahogany guitar is beautiful. The sound is rich and balanced. The setup was excellent right out of the box and was even better than expected. This is my second Orangewood guitar and is a joy to play. I keep it on a stand in my living room and makes me want to pick it up and play every time I walk past it. I have several acoustics (Takamine, Yamaha, Tanglewood) and a couple of Gibson electrics. The Morgan is what I choose to play. I tested the Fishman electronics through a Katana amp and sounds great. Perfect guitar to take camping in the mountains or a trip to beach. If a bear or shark ate it then I'd buy another. And the fact that no oranges were harmed during build process, setup and shipping was a major selling point and factored greatly in my decision to buy. Seriously though, the Morgan is a great choice. I would recommend this guitar to a friend.
