I'll cut right to the chase, the Morgan Live that I picked up for $260 on sale has every bit of the build-quality, feel, and tone that I was seeing and hearing from $1000 Martin's and Taylor's in the shops.
It's definitely in a different league from most anything else in it's price range, especially when it comes to tone!
Switching out the Ernie Ball Earthwoods for Martin Authentic Acoustics, and a small adjustment to the saddle to drop the low-e down a little were the only adjustments needed to make this guitar SING. I'm not sure if it's just the example I got, but this guitar has a harmonically rich sound that absolutely DEFIES it's price point!
If I upgrade, or heavens forbid have to replace this guitar, I can GUARANTEE that whether it's another Morgan Live, or a Sage that I pick up... it'll be an Orangewood
