That tiny one was actually my prototype Less Tall 1/2 scale guitar.

pinefd Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 As a matter of interest; which two went? Actually' date=' Pippy, now that I think about it, three of those guitars are now gone. They are #1 in the collage ('94 Murphy painted R9 "Brock 2"), #8 ('04 R9), and #13 ('07 R0 (with mega mineral streaks)). It killed me to get rid of 1 and 13 (especially 1), but I think what replaced them was worth it. I recently acquired a very high end replica, plus three more Historics. These include the Fake #1 '99 40th Anniversary Murphy Painted and Aged R9, to round out my Lawsut Guitar collection. I also picked up the NAMM #2 '09 50th Anniversary R9...the one used in most of the '09 brochures, promos, and on-line pics, plus a great (and rare) Murphy aged '03 Brazilian. The last two are shown below.

I can (actually I probably can't!) understand how hard it must have been to let those go - especially 'Brock 2' (was that the one on the LPF recently?). I know you know exactly what you're doing so it must have been worth the pain! Have you placed any original PAF's or PAT No.'s in any of your guitars to see if there is much difference from the recent/current HB's? If so what was your conclusion? Which of your bunch gets the most play-time and which (if different) sounds the best? Questions, questions, I know, but I am curious by nature (and you've been very accommodating in return).....

Questions' date=' questions, I know, but I am curious by nature (and you've been very accommodating in return).....[/quote'] I don't mind the questions at all, Pippy. It's finding the time to answer them...and coming up with the answers themselves which can sometimes be a challenge! With regard to putting vintage PAFs in guitars, the answer is yes, I've done it. I have two sets of PAFs, which have gone into three different guitars over the years. I definitely do see a difference, but to be honest with you, my ear isn't trained enough...and I'm not a good enough player to fully appreciate much of the differences. These days I spend so much of my time building guitars (and taking care of my kids) that it doesn't leave much time for playing. Besides, I left my serious playing days behind me about 30 years ago. And as to which of my guitars get the most play-time (what little there is), I hate to say it, but that would be my replica, followed by my '07 Chambered R8 flametop. Oh, and crossroads, no I don't have any plaintops...sorry! And stevezapp, I just love that back! Very cool! Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
