Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Murphy Lab 1963 Dove brings together a thermally aged Sitka spruce top and flamed maple back and sides in the Dove body format. Its 25.5-inch scale, round-profile mahogany neck, and bound Indian rosewood fingerboard define the playing platform, with 20 frets and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. Traditional scalloped X-bracing sits beneath the top, while the Light Aged Dark Natural finish adds the appearance of gentle long-term wear. Distinctive visual details include the dove-inlaid rosewood bridge and the stamped-vine-and-flower pickguard with its mother-of-pearl dove.
Strong match
Who this is for
