1970’s Morris Japan MLP-85 Les Paul Custom (Ebony)

Very rare collectable and desirable models from the early 1970’s, the Morris MLP-85 was their top-of-the-line Les Paul Custom and is closely related to the famous HS Anderson models of the same era. Solid mahogany body, a slim 60’s profile mahogany neck with a nice pronounced volute, rosewood fingerboard (44mm nut width, 628mm scale length), it weighs 4.4kg’s. Loaded with the original Morris branded bridge humbucker (made by Maxon) and a generic aftermarket neck pickup along with the original Schaller tuners.

This came to us with some cracking to the neck and the body that was all professionally repaired prior to listing along with a full professional deep clean and service. No further structural damage or issues going forward and it’s a rock solid guitar now. The neck is straight and the truss adjusts as it should, the frets are shiny and smooth with life left and it plays great as it sits.
