Frequently Asked Questions
The finish itself doesn't directly impact tone, but the aging process often reveals more of the wood's natural resonance, contributing to a warmer, more open sound.
No, each Murphy Lab instrument receives a unique aging treatment; expect variations in wear patterns and finish character from one guitar to the next.
The chunky '50s neck profile is significantly thicker and rounder than many contemporary Gibson necks, offering a different feel and potentially requiring some adjustment for players accustomed to slimmer profiles.
