Default Does Anyone Know this Maker?

I live in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, which is in the Appalachian Mountains. Last week, I purchased a custom made guitar from a shop in Coeburn, Virginia. The owner told me the guitar had been ordered by Ralph Stanley, one of the fathers of Bluegrass music, for his grandson Nathan. It has the word "MURPHY" above the tuners on the bridge and inside the body has either T or J(hard to read because it is written script) Murphy and 002 underneath the signature. the signature and number are in red ink. The letters NATHAN are inlaid down the fretboard. I would love to contact the maker and get more information. Does anyone know this luthier?
