Kalimba Guitar Demonstration
The Kalimba Guitar is based on my Modified Dreadnought design and was part of the Boutique Guitar Showcase 2025 enTour in the United States. Nathaniel Murphy takes it for a spin at the Chicago Music Exchange.
Morgan runs a one-man shop in the Berkshire mountains of Western Massachusetts where he meticulously creates unique stringed instruments one at a time. His guitars feature the finest hand-selected materials, beautiful inlays, and choice tonewoods with a focus on sound and playability.
Drawing on his 30 years of playing music and woodworking experience that began in his youth, Morgan has a unique perspective on guitar building that encompasses both craftsmanship and musicianship.
Customizable Guitar Models
Below are the guitar models currently offered, but custom sizes and shapes are available as well.
MK Ultra
A modern fingerstyle guitar fully customizable to your desired specifications. This guitar has a 15″ lower bout, can be constructed with or without a cutaway and a 12 or 14-fret neck join. It can be built to any scale length and string spacing you wish. Additional custom options include integrated tongue drums, arm and waist bevels, fan frets, custom inlays and more.
Concerto Grande
A medium-sized guitar with a 15″ lower bout, and a venetian cutaway. This model has a round lower bout that echoes the classic L1. Nut width, string spacing, scale length, tone woods, neck specifications, and every other facet of the guitar can be fully customized to your needs as a player. This guitar can also be built with tongue drums in the side for the percussive acoustic player.
Modified Dreadnought
My own take on the modified Dreadnought guitar, this larger model has a 16″ lower bout similar to the classic dreadnought but features a more elegant shape with a tighter, forward shifted waist. It can be constructed as shown or with a traditionally centered soundhole. This guitar can also be built with an integrated kalimba and fully customized to your desires as a player.
Acoustic Bass
This is a unique instrument for bassists looking for an upright sound in horizontal format. It is a large instrument with an 18″ lower bout and is configured to use 1/4 size upright bass strings.
