1996 Historic Murphy Aged compared to 2013 Historic

[Bouldergold]

I am new to Historics.
Are there big differences in the two guitars in title?
Differences in build,,tone,,playability?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,,

If a ‘96 is Murphy aged, it’s an aftermarket job.

Yet to see a 1996 Murphy aged , I will also add its a shame if someone aged a early painted Murphy !

This guitar is for sale by an old well known dealer.
Said its a 96 that was sent to Murphy in 98 for aging.
Other than that how do these guitars compare to guitars being made today or only a few years ago?

The specs 94 - 2014 + specs are numerous I played several 94 's great guitars , IMO the later Murphy's have much more vintage vibe !

Although a reputable dealer is selling , I would need some documentation Murphy aged the guitar .

If I was shopping Historic's I would buy 2018 - 2021 .

I do own a 2014 R4 its a great guitar , Although if your into spec's the newest model is most appealing !

Why 2018-2021?
