Wow, so very nice original playing!

[@rdanalytics9197]

This guy is probably the best guitar player I have seen in a long time. His tone control and phrasing are at an elite level.

[@squealingpigguitars2438]

Thank you so much mate

I'm pretty sure that's my old ML 335, still sounds great, and glad to see it found a good home!

[@squealingpigguitars2438]

That’s cool man! I love it 🤟

[@dver4624]

Took me ages to identify, but I like the WAY that's played.

[@squealingpigguitars2438]

Thanks for watching 🤟

[@seanzinger]

I love your playing, man. Both guitars sound just fantastic.

[@squealingpigguitars2438]

Thank you!

[@gringopig]

Those new custombuckers are way nicer. Never regret. It's the better guitar i think.

[@frantisca]

Thanks for the vid comparison. To me, the Murphy Lab sounds a bit like a single coils on steroids. Lower output than the Standard, which I prefer, particularly on the pushed trble pickup. Stunning top and back as well. Nice playing btw ;-)

[@squealingpigguitars2438]

Thank you for your comment, your support is very much appreciated :)

[@simondevine1657]

I have no regrets ! Can’t afford one 😆

[@rdanalytics9197]

I have the Murphy Lab Ultra Lite Aged 335 Cherry with Block Inlays. All the nitro is starting to flake off on the headstock.

[@andreasfetzer7559]

Nitro is the worst finish for a guitar

[@erickmo1188]

Bro I stumbled on this channel by accident. Glad I did.

[@squealingpigguitars2438]

Thanks mate

Question for you- i bought the Murphy Lab 355 ULA. The lacquer is sooo much more fragile than any of my other custom shop guitars. Each touch of even a jack cable next to the input immediately is a dent forever. After each show I play - I have a new collection of dings and dongs. I also can’t use a regular Dunlop Guitar cleaner polish as it will make the lacquer show it (don’t know how to describe) . What’s your experience with it?

[@taloujazz9504]

I ve had a 1999 Dot cherry red ES 335, I loved the neck (like a slim tapper) and the sound was great. I needed money at this time, when I sold it, but I regret this gear

[@robertmccormick3623]

I HAVE A 1996 ES335 DOT FLAMED NATURAL FINISH, PRETTY CLOSE TO BECOMING A VINTAGE (THIRTY YEARS) GUITAR. THE MURPHY'S NICE, BUT THESE 90'S REISSUE'S WERE THE PRE CUSTOM SHOP ELITE GUITARS. I PAID $3000 FOR MINE OFF REVERB.

[@squealingpigguitars2438]

Yes the 90s 335 are killer

[@Mossy5150]

Great analysis at the 11:00 mark; if you want the best guitar, skip the fancy nonsense, but if you want guitar+$2000 worth of artwork, then Murphy does a fine job with their paint technique.

[@johnwilkes681]

The les Paul standard should be just that, but there are so many variations at various price points, so what exactly is a les Paul standard ?. Anything else should be some sort of custom version.

[@Tweed_Tone]

Murphy lab sounded better to me. I am more of a cleaner player so the unpotted custom buckers are more to my liking. Whether or not the hide glue, and long tenon and more accurate bridge also contribute to that idk. Great playing and demonstration! I do agree is it really 7k+ better? You can basically get there with the other 335 if you swap out the pickups.

[@ScottsGuitar]

The way I think about it, is the standard is a nice addition to the lineup of guitars you play. It can easily EQ the same in the studio if needed. But the Murphy lab is a guitar that just immediately becomes your #1 and other guitars you own aren’t top of mind outside of the studio. ML ES is Much more special feeling. Thats where the money goes, the intangibles become much more attainable on one if you can play like this guy. Totally worth it imo. Great playing btw mate.

[@gibsondcxpl85]

The 90’s pickups are hotter and rounder, but the tone is there. I think if you swapped the pickups with custombuckers, you’d be 99% of the way there

[@dave_d_i_a_l]

Gorgeous guitar…

[@SteveR5954]

Gees the Murphy jumps out at 7.50 and after - that bridge pickup tone is awesome. Great guitar mate and killer playing as usual!

[@squealingpigguitars2438]

Thank you for watching mate!

[@SteveR5954]

@@squealingpigguitars2438 No worries ... watching again today - i would say your murphy was well worth it - sounds flippin amazing... and if it feels that way too...

[@jasonswitzer1748]

So it falls to me to be the one to point out that this dude just played a Backstreet Boys song on his Gibson?! Part of me wants to give him shit, but another part of me respects the hell out of him because he played it so well. 😂 In all seriousness, it was a nice comparison video. Thanks for making it.

[@benlaw2634]

A Gibson free free fife 😂 great video BTW 👍

[@berndwe]

If you are really unhappy with this guitar and regret the purchase, just send it to me and I‘ll take care for disposal in line with environmental regulations. I don’t ask for money for doing you this favour. ;) (Great guitar playing!)

[@kenq7948]

Go in 11 minutes to get the answer.

[@EstebanMcC]

One day, you will regret the mullet.

[@toomanywaystofall]

ha!

[@squealingpigguitars2438]

Never!! 🤟

[@JN-North.Guitars]

I liked the 90's 335 more 👍

[@toomanywaystofall]
