Ok the day has come that i thought would never happen.
This is a mint (apart from the aging), never gigged Tom Murphy aged historic, bought in Japan from Rockinn Music Shinjuku.
It was imported into Japan by Yamano in 2007 the year Yamano ended its relationship with Gibson, this is one of the last Yamano Gibsons.
Yamano was the sole distributor in Japan and selected the finest tops from Gibson. 
As well as all paperwork, certs, OSHC, etc it also has a signed "burst wishes Tom Murphy" cavity cover from Tom himself.
Absolute beauty in Sunrise Teaburst
