Yup. They are now made in the same factory (been there, seen 'em). Different
necks & headstocks, but other'n that, they're pretty much Larrivées (Concert
model Morgan = "L" body Larrivée, OM Morgan = OM Larrivée, Dreadnought =
Dreadnought etc.). You can order the new concert Morgans with a funky
stunted wee sharp cutaway that Larrivée doesn't offer, though. And David
Iannone and co. (Morgan is the name of his little boy), as far as I know,
are still building some in his own shop. Maybe just custom orders, I'm not
sure. Lots of folks here in Winnipeg (Steve Schellenberg, Sam Baardman,
Nicky Mehta, Rick Unruh etc.) play Morgans. I used to have one too, till I
did an endorsement deal with Larrivée and scored my lovely OMV-10. OMmmmm...
