Post by: Dave W on December 12, 2019, 06:38:59 AM: Gibson creates the Murphy Lab (https://guitar.com/news/industry-news/gibson-murphy-lab-new-custom-shop-head/) and is "elevating" its Custom Shop

"Meticulous aging" -- relics with sky-high price tags. I suppose it's better than Henry's ridiculous marketing ideas.

They would go perfectly with that pedal! 8)

Colorado boots! They were all the rage when I was in high school late 70s/early 80s.

I was the “Stock Boy” at a large Kinney shoe store about the time these were first introduced. Watching reruns of Married With Children reminds me of how close I came to having that glamorous life myself.............
