Hello from another Aussie - Dan the Murph guitar guy.

Hi there,
Being a Mosrite admirer but not an owner, I have been reading with interest the posts for years without joining up.
Then I came across a thread entitled "Murph Guitars" from late 2010 and a picture of myself with Deke & Pat Murphy that Terry McArthur posted - yes, I'm the Dan that started the website on these guitars - the MURPH!
Actually it was Deke Dickerson who got me started back in 2004 at one of his gigs here in Sydney - Greazefest I think?
Having a mutual friend ( Tim of TYM guitars ) after the gig he told me about the Murph ( and how they were an unsung SoCal company in San Fernando just south of Bakersfield ) and like a dog with a scent of a bone, I was off on a trail of discovery that took me to LA in 2005 and the fact finding mission that culminated in the website.
Pat Murphy passed in late 2009 and I basically have archived the site as a tribute to him - but please ask if you need any info on the humble Murph.
Cheers!
