NOTABLE GUITARS IS PROUD TO BE YOUR BEST
SOURCE FOR MORGAN GUITARS!
Morgan Guitars
David Iannone began his apprenticeship under
Jean Larrivee
in the early 1980's. Working at the Larrivee Guitar Company fueled a
passion that drove David to start Morgan Guitars. He is a magnificent
artisan, building superb guitars out of wood and steel in the same way that a
sculpter turns clay into beautiful works of art. He is truly consumed by a
passion to build the finest quality steel-string acoustic guitars available
today. If you are familiar with Larrivee Guitars, you are halfway to
understanding Morgan Guitars. David builds a guitar that is certainly
influenced by Jean Larrivee, but on a much smaller scale of production, and more
handmade. He also offers a lot of options that you can't get with
Larrivee, such as Englemann Spruce, German Spruce, Swiss Spruce, Cedar, and
many, many others. They are superb instruments, and the Concert "C"
Florentine cutaway is breathtaking to behold. You will not be disappointed
with a Morgan Guitar. He builds a very small number of very high quality
instruments each year. If you are lucky enough to own a Morgan you are in
a very small group of privileged players. Morgan Guitars are played by a
number of very special musicians such as
Sarah McLachlan, Nickelback,
and Crash Test Dummies.
See for yourself why Morgan Guitars are so highly respected, played, and sought
after.

Morgan!
I have an incredible Masterclass Koa Concert Body on the
way! After I received the masterclass Walnut (which quickly sold), I
called David and asked if he had any wood in stock that was close to the look
and tone of that walnut. David informed me that he had two sets of
incredibly flamed Hawaiian koa that he had been saving for years. He
sent me pictures of the wood, and I was blown away. Even without the
finish, it was apparent that these were going to be spectacular instruments.
Hawaiian Koa is a very highly regarded wood, and it is only available in
Hawaii. It is a protected wood, just like Brazilian Rosewood. Due
to the limited supply and the tight controls on the harvesting of the logs,
Koa is very hard to come by. Masterclass koa like this is rarely seen
today. You will pay a significant premium for any koa wood today, and
most builders don't have any Koa of this quality. This is a spectacular
Concert body, and you will be very impressed. The
Morgan Concert body is very similar in size to the Larrivee L Body, with
incredible clarity. It is terrific for fingerstyle, but large enough to
be strummed and picked as well. I think the Morgan Concert and Larrivee
L Body are about the most versatile body styles available. This
incredible guitar is not equipped with electronics, but I can add them if they
buyer desires. Don't wait too long, guitars of this quality never last
long!.

Morgan Custom Concert Body in Quilted Maple & Cedar Top! One of 3 2008 NAMM
SHOW Guitars! $4298.00 (CALL
or Email For Actual Sale Price)
An Awesome Custom
Morgan!
When David created three custom Morgan Guitars to display at the 2008 NAMM
Show in Anaheim I jumped at the chance to purchase these fine instruments.
The flagship is this Concert Body in incredible Quilted Maple, with a superb
Cedar top, with full abalone purfling, and flame koa body binding. The
quilted maple is incredibly 3D in appearance. The tone is very crisp and
rich, with great complexity. This is the most beautiful quilted maple I
have ever seen. David describes it like this:
"This is only the second cedar/maple that I
have made. It is a great combination-warm rich tone, plays like a dream."

Morgan Custom Mahogany Concert Body with Englemann Top! One of 3 2008 NAMM
SHOW Guitars! $3520.00 (CALL
or Email For Actual Sale Price)
An Awesome Custom
Morgan!
This is the last of David's 3 2008 NAMM show display guitars. It
features very warm, crisp South American Mahogany back and sides, an englemann spruce top,
flame maple body binding, and a Florentine cutaway. It is a wonderful
guitar, and is great picked, strummed, or when playing fingerstyle. The
Concert is larger than an OM, and slightly smaller than a dreadnaught.
It will play most any style with aplomb. |
 SOLD! Thanks Ralph!

Morgan Custom OM W/Masterclass Hawaiian Koa Back & Sides &
Englemann Spruce
Top
$4298.00
(CALL or Email For Actual Sale Price)
An Awesome Custom
Morgan!
When David told me he had two sets of incredible Hawaiian
koa, I bought both. I commissioned the Masterclass Concert body above,
and a more intimate Masterclass OM with Englemann spruce top. They are
both incredibly figured, and I should have them in the shop in two to three
weeks. David is an expert luthier, and has a way of finding the best
tonewoods. He has been saving this masterclass Hawaiian Koa for years,
and I am lucky he decided now was the time to build some spectacular Koa
guitars. This OM is very beautiful, and has a very responsive Englemann
spruce top. Englemann and Koa is probably my favorite combination.
It tends to produce great clarity, a strong, vibrant treble, and good low end
response. It is outstanding for fingerstyle and light to moderate
flatpicking and strumming. Hawaiian Koa is very scarce, and I doubt you
will find another guitar as beautiful as these two any time soon. If you
are in the market for a high-end guitar, you owe it to yourself to see what a
small hand-builder like David can do. He is truly an artist, and his
guitars will amaze you. This guitar is less than the custom series from
some of the big factory builders, and I promise you will see and hear the
difference. Don't wait too long on the Masterclass Koa, they aren't
going to be around long!

Mint Pre-Owned Morgan OM with French Walnut Back And Sides! Stunning! $3548.00
New, Buy It Now For Only $2299
This is a superb pre-owned Morgan OM with incredible
flamed french walnut back and sides, and an Englemann spruce top. I
called David to ask him if he remembered this guitar, and he immediately
responded "Yes! I was able to get a couple of sets of really nice French
walnut, and I made a concert body and an OM. I believe the OM had a very
stiff Englemann spruce top, and it was awesome". This Morgan OM is very
resonant, with excellent clarity, and great responsiveness. It excels at
fingerstyle, but has a very clean, crisp tone when picked as well. It is
incredibly beautiful, and the tone matches its' good looks. It comes
with a deluxe archtop case and all case candy. This is a very rare and
beautiful Morgan, and you can get it for a fraction of the cost of new!

Morgan Custom Concert Body W/Masterclass Claro WalnutBack & Sides & Englemann Spruce
Top
$3898.00
(CALL or Email For Actual Sale Price)
This Masterclass Walnut Concert Body is one of the finest
instruments I have ever played. When David informed me that he had procured
some incredible flamed walnut, I was very excited. I knew it would be
special, but I had no idea it was going to be this beautiful. This is by far
the most highly figured walnut I have ever seen. It is trimmed in very flamed
Hawaiian Koa, and it provides the icing on the cake!
Walnut has a tone that tends to be similar to mahogany, with perhaps a touch
more bass and transparency. it is very crisp, and very pleasing to the ear.
Masterclass walnut is very hard to come by. World class luthiers have
appreciated the tonal qualities of walnut for quite some time, but the price
has kept it from achieving mass-market appeal, which is a good thing in my
opinion. This is a rare guitar, and you won't soon find another like it. The
Morgan Concert body is very similar in size to the Larrivee L Body, with
incredible clarity. It is terrific for fingerstyle, but large enough to be
strummed and picked as well. I think the Morgan Concert and Larrivee L Body
are about the most versatile body styles available. This incredible guitar is
not equipped with electronics, but I can add them if they buyer desires. This
is a very toneful guitar, with great responsiveness. It is very fun to play,
and won't disappoint you.

Morgan OM with MasterClass Cocobolo Back and Sides and Englemann Spruce Top!
$3598.00 (CALL or Email For Actual Sale Price)
Cocobolo has a tone that tends to be similar to rosewood,
with a bit more bass and crispness. it is very rich sounding, and very
pleasing to the ear. Masterclass Cocobolo is hard to come by, and very hard
to work with, so many luthiers choose not to use it. This is a shame, because
while it is more difficult to sand and finish, the result is well worth it. I
prefer Cocobolo over East Indian Rosewood, and in my opinion only the best
Brazilian is any better. The top is mastergrade Englemann spruce, a wood many
builders do not offer due to the high cost. It is a very beautiful wood, and
has great responsiveness, especially for fingerstyle. This is a rare guitar,
and you won't soon find another like this one. This Morgan OM is very
responsive, with incredible clarity. It is terrific for fingerstyle, but can
be strummed and picked as well. This incredible guitar is not equipped with
electronics, but I can add them if they buyer desires. Another incredible
Morgan!
