Ivan was courteous enough to show me a few of the court cards and the back design some time ago and I just have to say, they looked fantastic.

How/where will this be sold if you know?

For what I understand it is not a Kickstarter campaign. I'm sure Ivan will tell us more.

Hope so. I read the article and glad to hear from you non-standard courts. Thanks.

Hi all, this deck will be release through Murphy's, probably soon.

Inspired by the most majestic and fascinating musical instrument - Guitar.

Here is the first look of the back and joker.
Thank you for all your continued support!

As a guitar virtuoso, I 100% need these.

I'm a man of many virtues. Playing guitar and "talking smack" are just 2 of them, my friend.

So are regular people allowed to buy from Murphy's? If not, how do we get these?

These should be available from "your favorite Murphy's Magic retailer" as MM puts it.

On another note, MM gets a very big discount from USPCC for printing quote. Any collaboration with MM would mean that your risk is going to be way less but I am not sure what their contract says. I've heard that once you get this going, MM gets all the files to USPCC and works as a conduit between the creator & USPCC through production.

Here is a peek for the diamond suit and court card

Aquila, Viridian and Merah Putih are all fine decks but this is truly your best work so far Ade!

Loving it!

That is a very good question. I am hoping that if that is indeed released by MM, people like Will should have some stock.

Any more news on this one.... ?

Oh, man. I really need these.

LIMITED EDITION: Only a certain number will be printed! Will NOT be reprinted.

A collaboration between Kardify and Murphy's Magic, Six Strings Playing Cards is a fully custom deck of playing cards inspired by the most majestic and fascinating musical instrument -- the guitar. This limited edition deck is designed by Ade Suryana and features fully custom design, reimagined courts, and a beautifully crafted letter-pressed tuck case. Six Strings is as beautiful as it is functional - versatile for themed magic, game nights or to have in the collection.

Inside, the deck looks amazingly beautiful and unique! It is visually appealing and designed around familiarity. The pips on Six Strings have been given an update with themed custom suits and classic font for the lettering and numbers. The Court cards are gorgeous. Each card has a different face with its own uniquely designed wardrobe with classic ornament details and guitar instrument. This provides a good balance of having a custom design while keeping the integrity of a standard deck of playing cards.

The Ace of Spades showcases a beautiful intricate design that is classic, yet stylish. The featured virtuoso guitarist adds to the identity of the deck. The No.052 came from a string gauge size which coincidentally matches the number of cards in a standard deck. Six Strings features an intricate, mirrored card back design inspired by the stringed instrument. The attention to detail and meticulous craftsmanship makes this deck one of a kind.

The stunning tuck box is adorned with copper foil titling which is especially striking. Letter-pressed by Clover St Press on textured paper to give it a classic look and feel. The deck combines distinctive design with the peerless quality of the United States Playing Card Co.
