What do you do when a mate lets it slip that he just bought a Gibson Murphy Lab 1942 SJ? Obviously you relieve him of it for a few days in the interests of science. This woody, vintage voiced guitar will divide opinion - it's a Gibson acoustic for starters, it also has a full aged relic'd finish which is either cool as hell or really not great depending on your point of view. No arguing with that classic Gibson "Thonk" in the midrange and the short scale sweetness in the trebles. Remarkably versatile if you can navigate the chunky neck - I had a lot of fun with this guitar. It's cool. Very cool.
This is a video about very cool acoustic guitars - in fact my whole channel is about the subject of luthier made, handmade, and vintage acoustic guitars from around the world.
