Here’s the story of Murph Guitars. It’s the story of how Patrick Murphy, a WWII Navy pilot from Detroit, who moved to California in the 1960′s – and for a brief period – became a designer and manufacturer of some groovy electric guitars.
The story is told here by author Michael Wright of Vintage Guitar Magazine (www.vintageguitar.com).
