The hardest aged model in Murphy Lab!
Not only the body top and body back, but also the back of the neck, head side, pickup mount ring, pickguard, ABR-1, bridge screw, tailpiece, tailpiece stud, and pegs have been carefully aged.

Maple top with mahogany back
I'm looking forward to seeing the patina that comes out over time by adding brass powder to the top finish.

The neck shape is a 50s Rounded Medium C shape with rolled binding, which is a little thicker than the 59 neck, but it fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, and it's my favorite neck shape.

The pickup is equipped with a custom backer unpotted pickup that you will want to play loud and enjoy the low range.
