I know you may be a bit confused. No, it's not a Murphy lab it is a home relic, and in my opinion a pretty dang good one. Not only does it feel great i think the light aging on this guitar suits it great, it plays and feel phenomal. Super lightweight, the sound of these pick ups is hot but not too much, and it just plays fantastic. Im a big fan of this one. Condition wise I dont know that youd call it in bad shape being that it is an intentional aging job, but obviously cosmetically it shows wear for that reason. Apart from that man I dont think this one needs a thing, it plays fantastic if you ask me. That being said i still recommend a set up and new strings to your specs. It comes in the OHSC with the original knobs and an extra pick guard. Thanks for looking!
