This 2022 Murphy Lab Dirty Lemon has one of the nicest chevron top bursts we’ve had through the doors at SPG. The subtle flame isn't overly flashy, which pairs beautifully with the understated Dirty Lemon hue. Sonically, it delivers that rich, blooming tone we expect from a well-voiced '59 reissue—warm, dynamic, and incredibly responsive. A true tone machine for those who want vintage mojo without going full relic.
Condition Report:
Excellent condition overall. The only wear present is the factory light aging from the Murphy Lab—no extra marks, dings, or fret wear beyond the intended relic that I can see. Stored carefully and played sparingly.
