Who the Hell Is Terry Bloody Morgan???

professorben

Richardj

As far as I am aware a maker of fake stuff.......

A really stale joke on the forum.

glad you asked, this clearly was a meme that started during my hiatus, so was wondering myself.

Yeah, funny only to men of a certain age

@richardhomer has a lot of time for him I think.

You can't buy one. You can sometimes find one in an enchanted forest. If you close your eyes. It seems.

Even I can see he's messed that one up! It's all backwards!

As I understand it, he builds some of the finest playing and sounding replicas of '58 - '60 style Gibson Les Paul Standards.

Those familiar with his work consider his instruments to be superior to anything which comes out of the Gibson Custom Shop.

He doesn't have a website - and rumour has it - his order book is closed, as he's approaching retirement.

I find it really annoying that he's become a forum 'figure on fun'. Not on gentlemen - not on at all.....

Terry behind the bar makes you a drink that's 4 parts Tomato Juice and 2 parts Captain Morgan Rum.

It's Terry's specialty, so they call him Terry Bloody Morgan.

HTH.

I agree. He is a true gentleman and a scholar. His work is incredible. 

He he has made the odd '54 wraptail too.

They might well be the best made guitar on the planet, but it's still a fake, counterfeit, call it what you will, if he uses another company's brand name instead of his own.

Simply dishonest.

Best not to take me 'too' seriously....

@richardhoer, I understand, no slur on you at all 


It's one of those things that I just don't get.

I have heard Terry has a stash of air from 1959 which he keeps in jars, and injects into the control cavities of his replicas, which as we all know is where the vintage tonez live. He is retiring as down to his last few jars. They apparently sound just like typical Historics without the mojo air.

its well known @Bridgehouse is actually Terry Morgan and the REAL reason he isnt posting as much these days is he has to use all his Rosewood up before CITES fucks him

It's true. Plus the fact Crossrail is proving to take up a lot of time at the moment too...
