Murphy aged Les Paul's or Moore aged Les Paul's?

What are Murphy aged Les Paul's? What are Moore aged Les Paul's? You may be wondering the difference between the two. You might think that they are very similar- almost beinng the same. Yes, they are brand new guitars that have been aged, but what is the difference between the two? Tom Murphy and Gary Moore get paid by Gibson to take their guitars and have them aged for signature model guitars for players like Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Dickey Betts of The Allman Brothers, Robby Krieger of The Doors, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and many more. Lets start with Tom Murphy.
  Tom Murphy has worked on guitars and aged them for quite some time. He's aged numerous guitars by Gibson, mainly their Les Paul's like this one here

Why does Gibson pay Tom so much to age their guitars? Tom Murphy's aging techniques are very unique his checking lines in the finish, simulating years of age in the lacquer, and how gentle to heavy he can age. I, personally, really like Tom Murphy's aging style.

  Now its time to talk about Gary Moore. Gary Moore worked on guitars such as the Gibson BFG Les Paul and numerous reissues of 1959 Les Paul's and artist signature models of Les Paul's. Gary Moore ages his Les Paul's to look like they have been played frequently on the road from artists.

They are the best people in Gibson for aging guitars. I like Tom Murphy a little bit more than Gary Moore. Tom Murphy's checking and aging style is more genuine to the aging of the lacquer finish. Don't get me wrong, Gary Moore's style is very nice for a artists signature model but Tom Murphy has more a genuine look to aging even in his signature models.
