-- this is a very versatile guitar, with a humbucker by the fingerboard and the Tele quacker pickup by the bridge.  Great action -- nice guitar.  It is the only electric guitar heard on my cd.

Guitar and pickup maker, Patrick R. Murphy, was in the service in Germany in the 1960s.  He met a German classical guitar maker named Rainer Krempel.  Pat introduced Herr Krempel to the Martin X-bracing patterns and worked with him to produce Krempel's first steel string guitars.  THEY ARE MONSTERS.  This is the loudest acoustic guitar with good balance and tone I have ever heard.  Its characteristic tone is heard on my cd -- especially on "When You Say Nothing at All".  Most of these guitars that made it to the US were distributed by Pat Murphy.

This little box sounds really good for a roundneck -- really ballsy tone -- a lot like a squareneck.  It can be heard on my cd, especially on "When You Say Nothing at All".
