MORRIS HAND MADE PREMIUM The SE-103, an evolved version of the S series. Maurice, a Japanese manufacturer with a long history, has a wide range of fans, from legendary musicians to amateurs. Despite their meticulous craftsmanship, they boast incredible cost performance and offer a wide lineup that covers everything from folk style to fingerstyle. Morris, a long-established Japanese brand that dominated the folk music boom of the 1970s, also played a key role in the 2000s by developing and releasing a guitar perfectly suited to the new movement known as "fingerstyle guitar," and in spreading and popularizing that style within Japan. Introduced in 2001 as a dedicated fingerstyle guitar, the S series gained popularity for its exceptional playability and outstanding sound, and has undergone numerous improvements since then. It remains a beloved "masterpiece of fingerstyle guitars," enjoyed by everyone from beginners to veterans, and continues to be popular even more than 20 years later. This unit, "SE-103," is a new addition to the SE series, representing an evolution of the S series. This Grand Auditorium/Standard Round Body features a solid Sitka spruce top, solid Indian rosewood sides and back, a mahogany neck, an ebony fingerboard, and a Richlite bridge. While it features the same Grand Auditorium body as the standard S series, a slightly thinner profile and altered bracing structure suppress the low-frequency bloat and harmonic richness. This results in a lighter, more balanced sound that is easier to control with picking, while retaining the rich resonance and wide-range characteristics of the S series. This 103 model features a spruce top, resulting in a powerful and clear tone. Its balanced body design, combined with the SE series' excellent balance, makes it a versatile and all-around guitar. With its long scale length providing exceptionally stable pitch even in drop tuning, Gotoh tuners, a 44mm wide nut that prevents finger fatigue during intricate fingerings, and an ultra-thin neck shape, this guitar is packed with features that perfectly meet the meticulous demands of fingerstyle guitarists, making it a reliable companion. The fact that it's entirely domestically produced, entirely handmade, and made of solid wood, all for around 200,000 yen, offers excellent value for money, which is also very appealing. This is highly recommended as a "step-up" model for those new to the Feingar style!
