These skilled craftsmen typically ran small shops, employing a handful of master builders who were often trained in Spain or under Spanish master builders in Japan. During this period, bans on certain types of wood were not yet in place, allowing luthiers to source high-quality wood for their creations. Although these guitars are considered a bargain in today's market, finding top-quality Japanese classical guitars from this era can be challenging, and restrictions on exporting certain types of wood make them even more difficult to obtain. Similar guitars built with comparable materials today would cost significantly more due to the scarcity or complete bans on certain types of wood. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44614896418909,"sku":null,"price":1175.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/6111\/1645\/files\/dzgja0if3uevnkzfzumx.jpg?v=1783954568","url":"https:\/\/guitareum.com\/products\/morris-mc-50-classical-guitar-brw-back-and-sides-japan-1970s-excellent","provider":"Guitareum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
