Joaquin's Bigsby sold

Eric Stumpf · From: Newbury, NH 03255

....or so it seems according to the RetroFret site. I was saving up to get it and was only $74,000 away from having the asking price! http://www.retrofret.com/products.asp?ProductID=3226&CartID=1906069192006

"The greater playing range and new styles possible with pedals eventually rendered obsolete non-pedal multi-necked steels like Murphy's."

I hope all you non-pedal players will heed this!

Interesting that they spew out all that info and then misspell his name (it's Murphey)

"The three necks are arranged in a stair-step design, a feature never seen before. Murphy specified it originally for this guitar and it has since become the standard configuration for multi-neck steels."
Hmmmmm,,,,,

I'm glad the steps go in an upward direction, rather than down!

That's an incredible guitar, I had a priviledge to play it two years ago at Retrofret. They're very nice people too, not your average wolf type vintage guitar dealers, and had an incredible selection of vintage instruments. They do a remarkable job of repairing and restoring too. Joaquin's guitar btw was there on a consignment, as was Lefty Frizell's Bigsby necked Gibson J200. Seeing and playing those two instruments side by side was somewhat dumbfounding Cool

And what comes to Murph's name, "Murphy" is how it was spelled in the original "custom built for" plate on front of the guitar. The plate on it now is reproduced but is exactly like the original.
