I've got a '58 Junior heavy relic from the Murphy Lab and it's nothing short of incredible. I'm a long time Strat guy, but the Junior has taken over my life. The tone and playability are outstanding. But the relic work... it's nothing short of art. Great interview. Thanks guys!!!
I'm also the proud owner of a heavy relic'd Junior and the mojo that guitar has just blew my mind. It not only made me realise how much I was holding back when playing a new or ultra-clean guitar, it inspires me to try new things every time I pick it up. And that Junior growl, well... it never gets old. I sold a few guitars and decided I'm only buying Custom Shop guitars from now on. That worn-in (fits like a glove) feel, the playability, and craftsmanship is worth every penny to me. Whenever I have "that discussion" with friends on whether the guitars are worth it or not, I just put the guitar in their hands and that shuts them up pretty dang quick... then we fight about the fact that I want my guitar back😅
Three of the most important people in my life together in the same room... each of you are such a blessing and inspiration. Thank you for this brothers, much love 🖤⚡️
Murphy is no joke, have you ever seen him scrape binding on a les paul,a true pro in every aspect of guitar building, he created relics before they were even popular, he's a legend and a genius.
He hasn't scraped a guitar since 2004.
Tom is a great guy. Buy the 2002 Rossingtons. Thats what Tom told me
Awesome interview! Tom is such a nice and down to earth guy. It's really cool to finally get to know the guy/creator behind the famous and awesome "Murphy Lab" aging. All the best!
He mentions Rio Grande pickups around the 23 minute mark! Got a fantastic sounding set of pups from those guys in my Strat! What a terrific company! Really really love the tone I get.
My guys!
I have much respect for the art involved in doing what they do, and while I can see the value in some famous rock star replicating a beloved old guitar so he can tour with it, I for one want my $10,000 Gibson Custom Shop guitar to be brand new and shiny with all of the best components, workmanship and processes used in the hay day of making the '59's, so as to age it myself over the decades myself..
I don't know who in the lab did my 2023 Murphy lab heavy aged R9 But the aging work is incredible! It's not overdone and looks very authentic like the guitar was on tour for years and years.
Excellent videos guys!!!
Very cool interview 🤙
One of the best interviews online!
Due to cost I had to settle with a VOS 1959 Les Paul historic and regret not just waiting until I had the money. There is a huge difference between a VOS and a Murphy Lab R9!
Awesome to get Gibson to do any custom work. Murphy Lab thankfully came along , been pulling teeth to get a custom set up let alone a one off or original guitar. Good job Gibson do more custom work and great job Tom 🫶🎸
Nice one Tommy!! Hope you and family are well. Danny B.
Wow what an opportunity and interview! Who new Tommy had serious interview skills? I'm green with envy.
Very cool interview !
My buddy Tom Guitar Murphy ....as I call him ....such a great guy !!!
