Northwest Vintage Guitars presents a 1979 Morris WE-40 Electric Acoustic Dread with the Shadow Piezo pickup. The factory original passive Shadow pickup works great. The tonewood selection is a laminated Spruce top, Rosewood ply back and sides. The WE Electric spec is very uncommon and was a high dollar premium at the time of manufacture.
It's a very vintage feeling full V neck profile. The nut measures 1.74", neck depth is .84"-1.11" at the 1st and 12th frets respectively. The neck is straight, the truss rod turns in both directions, and the relief is currently set for optimum playability. The frets are polished, there's a fresh set of Phosphor Bronze strings, and the action is at 3.0 mm on the low E, 2.0 on the high E. It rings loud and clear. Would be a great beginner Bluegrass guitar. Saddle height is adequate and breakover is acceptable.
There are scattered dings, dents and scratches as pictured. The nut is chipped and non-original.
