Wildwood has a long and storied history of collaboration with Tom Murphy, and the Wildwood Spec by Tom Murphy series is one of the most popular runs of guitars in Wildwood history. Because Tom is an awesome guy, he is still going to hand-paint some Murphy Lab guitars for us when he can. With his master's touch, Tom puts an absolutely exquisite finish on these guitars before handing them over to the Murphy Lab team for aging. These guitars are an opportunity to experience the handiwork of a true master craftsman, and we are privileged to showcase them.
They are absolute sonic titans thanks to their pickups. Each one of these guitars comes equipped with Wildwood Spec Custombuckers, and they (to use a very scientific term) totally rule. They are brimming with vintage flavor, and they capture the sound of an old PAF beautifully. The fine folks who make Gibson's pickups also added a little bit of extra secret sauce that improves their articulation, dynamism, and clarity, too. As a result, these pickups translate the subtleties and nuances of your playing so well that the guitar almost feels like an extension of your hands.
