No one buys a new car, and goes home, and kicks in the front quarter panel with a steel toed boot, and says it now looks cooler. jesus Chief , don't give them marketing types any more whacky ideas...

Sgt. Pepper Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) It is still hard to wrap my head around I bought a new guitar, and wanted to look old, and beat up. So, I did that, and I paid a lot of money for this legendary guy who fake ages guitars named Tom Murphy to do it to my NEW Gibson LP. Now my NEW, but old looking guitar has chips, and dings, and paint chipping off, and I thought that was what I wanted, and that is supposed to be the point of those 6 - 10k aged guitars. Now it must be too beat up to be cool. Edited October 26, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Can you get an authentic Tom Murph headstock break and re-glue? That might push it to 15k? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But,, he is very happy with them and happy is all that matters. But that said I don't get it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we all need a master class on the real deal of fake aging 101. I hope it has a lab so we can beat up some guitars for real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really was divine, we'd probably do it again, but not something we'll fall over ourselves to go and do. We'll be out there May next year to just loiter and spend nights out in the valleys and relax.

TBeauD Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I own six Murphy Lab first runs. 3 59' ML LPs (2 Dirty Lemons, 1 Chery Tea Burst ... all light aged), one 58' ML LP lemon burst light aged, one 57' ML LP Gold Top Dark Back light aged, and one '64 ML SG Vibrola heavy aged. I've had zero problems with any of them. I live in Colorado just as a reference to weather changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone who has some tell me what its like to buy 60k worth of pre beat up guitars. I can tell you it is a blast! These Murphy Lab guitars feel, look and sound great. I also own vintage acoustics from the 30's and electrics from the mid 50's. I much prefer the feel and look of these aged guitars over the non aged ones. I know you don't like them, that's your opinion and your problem. But looks like there are quite a lot of people around the world who are into these aged versions of Gibson's, Fender's and Martin's. They are selling very well. That's what makes it so great for us guitar players, there are guitars for everyone's taste. Oh and yes, it is nice to have money.
