Morgan Stringed Instruments

Morgan Stringed Instruments Scott Morgan builds quality custom stringed instruments and does instrument repairs and restorations in the Washington, DC area.

I build custom acoustic and electric stringed instruments. Each instrument is priced per the specifications and playing needs of the customer. I also offer full spectrum repairs, from restringing and set ups to complete restorations on instruments from around the world. With over 40 years of experience I can address virtually any repair issue. I relocated to the DC area in 2009. My clientele inclu

des several local music stores, many renowned musicians, and instrument owners of all kinds. It is my mission to create fine musical instruments using the best conventional knowledge, with an eye on the horizon for innovations in design and construction. From start to finish it is my goal to produce instruments of exceptional quality and tonal superiority.

Many thanks to the House of Musical Traditions for coaxing me into previously uncharted reaches of the learning curve (once again!). Starting on my first restoration of a sitar. Should be fun and interesting! I'll post more pictures as the lotus unfolds...

Somebody sanded through the inlays on this banjo neck while refretting it. So, I get to replace the missing pieces. Fun!

A little SSP (shameless self promotion). It makes you feel good to get an email like this...

Mr. Morgan,

Thanks ever so much for repairing and restoring my guitar. It is an excellent job and I appreciate the expertise involved. I am reading the Oxford Junior Companion to Music, practicing my piano and will eventually try my guitar. Have a great day. A happy customer.

Dr. A. O. Shaw, Ph.D.
