Then, Tom did the rest with his wizard’s touch. “I wanted to make stuff that I liked… cool stuff that I knew that any guitar player would appreciate.” So, Gibson re-introduced the 1959 “Sunburst” and later the “Gold-Top” Les Paul electric guitars.While working on mimicking the re-issue guitar, Tom continued to touch up and repair guitars and learn techniques which helped to eliminate scratches, accidental dings and scuffs. Consider all possible spellings of a last name. Through his research and diligence, Tom was awarded the project, and took it on with pride. The transformation is unique, yet uniform. Then, as with the nature of television, changes occurred within the production direction of the Osmond Show, which left Tom basically out of work.In the spring of 1989 in Nashville, while playing a gig with some friends, Tom was offered a job in the rough-mill at Gibson Guitar by one of the people at the party. Copyright ©2020 Wildwood Guitars. It was sometime around that time frame when he realized that he could still find the time to play the guitar but he would no longer have to travel the road. Making something look new was still the name of the game. Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe Walsh of the Eagles, Dickey Betts of The Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton and Peter Frampton have all called on Tom to apply his signature magic to their guitars.So, when our friends at Gibson offered us the opportunity to join such an illustrious list of collaborators, we simply couldn’t resist. Like the classic 1958 Standard, it features a bookmatched figured Maple top on a Mahogany slab body. Houston offered his first experiences with major named players and those up-and-coming performers who continued to gain attention. And that was cool, too… For a while.When his time at Gibson came to an end… Don McLean couldn’t have summed it up better… “It was the day the music died.” In 1994, Tom and Gibson parted company and shortly thereafter, while visiting back here in Marion around the holidays, Tom’s sister-in-law showed a house to Janice, and yet another verse was written. They’ve left our jaws stuck firmly on the floor ever since the moment we unboxed them. “When we pulled off the expressway on the bus,” he said, “they had established signs which read; Tom Murphy and Sawyer Brown.” Smiling, he said, “That was pretty cool.”After his time with Sawyer Brown, Tom found himself next playing the guitar on the set of the Marie Osmond Show where he continued to perfect his guitar talent. GREAT TOP! He recalls tinkering with screws and moving bridges and pick-ups forward or back, but not for any reason other than to find out the results of such tinkering.“My time in Houston was an important time for growing, but, again, I was needing more.” His next move was Austin, where he said, “Austin was one of the first places which I saw a hippy and a cowboy standing next to each other in a bar… and everything was alright.” With the great influence of the Austin music scene, Tom continued to hone his guitar talent, and found himself in Colorado, where his life would change forever.It was in Colorado where Tom met Janice. Not necessarily baseball, which certainly held his interest, more to the point, music seemed apparent in his life, particularly, the guitar.Murphy said that he recalled staring at the Sears and Montgomery Ward’s catalogs as a kid, deciding on the Harmony and Silver-Tone instruments which appealed to him most. He flew to New York to audition and came away from the Big Apple with a national touring spot.Murphy stayed on the road with Sawyer Brown for a year or two. Only this time, it may have been closer to David Gate’s, “Guitar Man.” — “Who draws the crowd and plays so loud, it’s the guitar man… Who’s gonna steal the show, you know Baby it’s the guitar man.”Soon after the Murphy’s returned to Marion, Tom began setting up business in his dad’s old woodworking shop.
