Sounds like it.Lol, should I have to?

Maybe, but more people want yous two to shut up, than want to hit the “ignore” button. This is the Les Paul Forum, and not the Stanley measuring tape forum.Sounds like it.
......yet here you are contributing to the thing you are complaining about......Maybe, but more people want yous two to shut up, than want to hit the “ignore” button. This is the Les Paul Forum, and not the Stanley measuring tape forum.
I know, right!?! But somebody had to say something, or yous two would still be going at it. Now maybe we can get back to talking about guitars. I usually enjoy a good majority of your posts, and you usually have a good amount of knowledge on multiple subjects. I, and quite a few other people, don’t like thread derailment, especially on such a great thread.......yet here you are contributing to the thing you are complaining about......
Tom Murphy is doing something that is in great demand and is knocking it out of the park big time ! Proof is in the pudding in the sales # . Money talks !You are pulling it out of your ass, forming an opinion than parading it as fact. You and I can do the same thing Tom is doing? LMAO That just proves you have no idea of Tom's past or experience. PERIOD

Hey, if anybody could do what Tom does then we'd all be rich!!Tom Murphy is doing something that is in great demand and is knocking it out of the park big time ! Proof is in the pudding in the sales # . Money talks !
i disagree somewhat to "knocking it out of the park" in respect to agingTom Murphy is doing something that is in great demand and is knocking it out of the park big time ! Proof is in the pudding in the sales # . Money talks !
Pretty much and it's as basic as Business 101 . Tom Murphy with Gibson came up with a killer plan and the proof is in the sales #Hey, if anybody could do what Tom does then we'd all be rich!!
you and pat have a valid point in respect to "Business 101" and without cash flow, KKR & Co. Inc. would not be happyPretty much and it's as basic as Business 101 . Tom Murphy with Gibson came up with a killer plan and the proof is in the sales #
All I know is that Tom used to restore vintage guitars and he may still do it. I've seen them, one in particular was Slim Harpo's old '59 ES-330. Tom took it from a black spray painted mess to it's former glory. By doing this type work and being around so many vintage guitars he has vastly more experience than any of us here. That's been my point. The older fellas who used be active on the forum would be all over anybody saying that Tom's talents are pedestrian and common because it's just not true. Mike S knows it. .......and NOW I know why they all gone. It's not fun arguing with idiots and people who keep score with how many comments their stupid threads get.Pretty much and it's as basic as Business 101 .

That is exactly the damn shame of it all that we have lost such great resources and knowledge . As now some choose to gripe about the smallest tiniest issues or things they believe are "off" . Tom Murphy knows what he is doing and Gibson has invested a lot of bucks in the aged instrument market and Gibson would not go out on a product line like this without doing there homework and knowing there is a "market " for this product . Pretty simple and basic and that's exactly how business makes $ , which is why business is in business to begin with . I have been writing this forever that it is filling a niche or a price point and it is a great choice for the consumer to have, that wants the appearance of a vintage instrument without paying 6 figures and up for a prized valuable Burst . I miss Charlie and Tom W (who helped me out always with his vast knowledge and wisdom ) Your first sentence proves how much Tom Murphy knows , and Gibson is lucky to have him !All I know is that Tom used to restore vintage guitars and he may still do it.

So yer sayin' I drove them all away?and NOW I know why they all gone. It's not fun arguing with idiots and people who keep score with how many comments their stupid threads get.
Hehe.....So yer sayin' I drove them all away?
WTF
If you like these comments please give me a like. It's the only thing I'm here for! Hug an idiot today...
Anytime, bud! I’m here for you. And, if I’m “continuing” are you not doing the same?? Lol, careful, your true colors are showing!......again......you continue....
Thank you for your courage.
Would you agree that Tom M has a very special talent from years of experience? Or do you need Matt to tell you?Anytime, bud! I’m here for you. And, if I’m “continuing” are you not doing the same?? Lol, careful, your true colors are showing!
No, I actually agree with you! Tom is a Bad muh fuggah. He technically could “reverse engineer” the lacquer of old. It’s not outta the realm of possibility to send a sample in to a lab to have it tested. If the dude from Throbak, and Dave from Stephen’s pickups can have metal lab analyzed, Tom Murphy could too. I doubt that if he did, he would freely share the recipe with Gibson for free. Ultimately, we don’t know what in the flying hell goes on behind closed doors like that. We know what we are told.No. I'm not the crying.
