Morgan Guitars

Anyone play a Morgan? I'm wondering what they sound like relative to others (like a Martin?). I can't find one anywhere to try and the only registered dealer near me is in Maine.

I know that the founder of Morgan apprenticed under Jean Larrivee, so if you were going to compare them to a factory made guitar then I'd lhink they'd sound more like a larrivee than a martin. FWIW there's a ton of luthiers out right now that apprenticed with larrivee or got their start in his shop.

hmmm, under larrivee, that sounds very promising
