Limited Run
The guitar comes in a custom Lifton leather case with plenty of case candy to make it a little bit extra special. Including a set of custom playing cards, a period-correct leather guitar strap, an Oxford pennant, and more
As it is a Murphy Lab recreation it isn’t exactly cheap. Though it does look quite nice and if you collect expensive guitars then you will possibly love it.
If it can get you anywhere close to King’s tone on Live at the Regal, then it might actually be worth the money.
