"Murphy painted" What's that entail?

Imo you really can't beat the vibe of a Murphy , I've been shopping his work and yes I will buy aged . I would say a TH Wildwood .

Say what you will subjective yes , I will choose Murphy hands down these other guys are Artist in the craft I do respect . I just feel a Murphy will always stand after the smoke clears !!

I've now had this beauty for 20yrs
It's a Murphy painted and aged 40th Ann from the Vintage World run.
Seems to look better every year .
I had to get my COA separately from Gibson then and it took a while.

I had a Murphy painted guitar.

Artemus Murphy.

You may have seen his work on the sides of train cars.

Did mine one night whist I was playing a gig in front of 2000 adoring fans.

Of Artemus.

In the train yard.

And that entail is mine.

I was going to have it surgically removed, but there it is...

Yes the checking is done by a razor blade so what ? Imo his paint is hands down better than any of these other guys Ive seen on this Forum .
As I have shopped these non murphy guitars are priced lower and seem to move to a new owner very slow NOTHING LIKE OWNING A FAKE OF A FAKE !!!
