“Headstock with lattice inlay”

It wouldn't be $1200 with a quilted top.

Good girl be a bad boy

@@richardrybinski2320 would be possible if they'd use a veneer

I kindof like the plain look.

@@sesa1076 I know it's not a true replica because of that but i think it looks a lot better without the quilted top. not a fan of the quilted top

"Feel like a stranger..."

Richard Rybinski ??

It's not jazz, it's hillbilly crap.

@@doj8763 Ok.

@@doj8763 Hillbilly crap huh? Is your band a fortune 500 company like the Grateful Dead? Jerry garcia knew the fretboard inside out and backwards. He was also a genius songwriter I believe the Hillbilly crap you are referring to is his blue grass roots which would smoke your playing under the table.A s for his jazz influence, let me know when you can improvise guitar leads like this :kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i6d-obuG2NHeYX0.html Let me know when they make your tribute guitar you troll.

While it sounds like jazz to some, the reality of it was Bob Weir took the jazz approach with his chord inversions while Jerry's style was bluegrass/country influenced. Jerry did play like a jazz player such as playing over each chord and staying on tempo but definitely more blue grass derived.

Er, it's a nice construction of wood & metal. The body & soul of R.J., on the other hand, is speaking thru it. But yeah, it sounds great.

it's not Shakedown, it's feel like a stranger backing track

It does sound good, and is great for folks that like single-coil _and_ humbucker sounds. But listen to more RJ Ronquillo demos - he makes _every_ guitar sound great.

@John Kravitz St Patrick's day parade lol

I mean, that's how Jerry's Wolf looked. It is meant to be a copy of that guitar after all lol

Whiteys Workshop He’s good don’t get me wrong (funky af), but Mayer’s at the right place.

@@antonylinteau3408 I always liked Mayer until I saw him live... I'm 53 yrs. young now so my first 20 shows when I was young were the Dead. Last summer my wife took me to see Bobby (with Mayer) and they were jamming it was ok, then they started Looks like rain... 1/2 way through something sounded off, Then the whole band stopped. Mayer steppes up to the mic with his hands in the air and said whoops! My bad! And they had to start the tune over??? I'm not knocking his playing, But I've also heard RJ enough to know he could keep up with him and maybe not have to stop the entire band to find out where he is... Maybe just wait for the next measure and continue. That was the most unprofessional show I've ever been to, lol. John Mayer is a great guitar player and it's not really fair to him that he has to step up to Garcia standards.

@@MikeCindyWhite yeah. That never happened

@@iwilliamq2154 Lol... Yup, sad to say it was at the Boston Garden about 4 or 5 yrs ago. Don't reply to something you don't know kid... I was there and having been playing guitar and going to shows since '89 went on 2 1/2 yrs of tour with the band 'till Jerry died in '95. I was at the Garden show with Bobby and John and it was worse than any of the Egypt shows. Sorry if the truth hurts!

Ragged Company Recordings stop it 😭

Tone is in the guitar, not the patch, lol!

@@eastwoodguitarsofficial I think having “the wolf” would increase iconic desirability for collectors…not that it even matters that much, I just noticed it was missing…and “beautiful tone” was certainly intended to be a compliment.

Doubtful. They're still making more.

The original Wolf was made by Doug Irwin along with Tiger and Rose Bud. Doug worked for Alembic before making these historical guitars. Ironically, Alembic makes "Tribute" Guitars inspired by their own ex employee. As a side note I believe Alemic was also employed for the Grateful Dead's sound system. They started out making basses. Phil Lesh and Stanley Clark own Alembic basses.

EHX Q-tron does the job pretty good at a not vintage price!

How much did you sell it for? I'm in the market and interested in what they run currently.

I got lucky in the summer and bought a pat pending Mu-Tron iii for $500 without the power supply found the ps-1 for $100 all on reverb

Hey guys they did a reissue they retail for 280 or so but they’re produced directly from the mind of Mike Beigel and a business partner. Sold it for $400 BUT it was a limited edition I got last year. Mufx or mutron google it and it should point to their website

@@jambajoby32 I can purchase a new one via their sight?

It says in the video that it is a Crazy Tube Circuits Vyagra in the onboard effects loop. Right when it shows him engaging it.

The original was, ours was never meant to - with all the other features we've included, an added quilt top would make the guitar way more expensive...

@@eastwoodguitarsofficial Even if it were a laminate of Quilted Maple? Oh well...I bought the guitar and am a little bumbed its not quilted, but look forward to recieving the guitar! Its still gorgeous! It looks like the quality will be top notch that its made in Korea :-)

@@robroymenzies8641 laminates over rounded edges look cheap

@@rickc2102 True, now that I think of it, like the Epi SGs...where you can see just that...I am very happy with this guitar, solid build, excellent work...

as long as they licensed it and DI is getting a piece of the action ... then all good

could kinda understand it if I was travelling and didn't want to lug all my pedals, plus its a little character haha

@@ladyelect9274 I was commenting from a professional musician stand point, I played in a band for around 6 years and I used a wide array of fx and I'm quite picky about my overdrive tone, so I can't imagine an onboard being up to snuff

@@wyndorphstormcrow8372 yea thats sort of my standpoint aswell! I don't gig much outside of town but I am a pedal maker aswell so I understand being selective. at this point though I like anything a bit different

@@ladyelect9274 yeah I play a wide range of music, everything from blues, outlaw country, to face melting metal, I have like 3 different overdrive/distortion pedals on my board, along with chorus,flange, reverb,wah, and eq. What type of pedals do you make?

@@wyndorphstormcrow8372 I mostly do fuzzes, I also like making clones and then circuit bending them haha. I play from dream pop to black metal to harsh noise wall

I agree, but it's a pretty decent representation of why this type of construction is better suited towards bass.

That auto wah sound comes from some sort of envelope generator pedal

George Rigberg the effects are actually in the guitar.

@@gsxerwhite not entirely accurate, look up On Board Effects Loop or OBEL systems to see how it works

@@TheBransonat0r alright I will thanks

You don't need a "rack of effects" necessarily, any pedals will do, but the guitar itself doesn't have the effects. Here's some more info: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1621/5363/files/WOLF_EXPLAINED.pdf

@@eastwoodguitarsofficial Thanks, that's helpful...I still dont undertand the OBEL controls aside from 'effects loop on/off'. Lets say you have a Mutron, a delay, and an overdrive effect...how do you select between them or use all at once, or any combo therein? Cheers

the world needs affordable aluminum neck guitars!

I use a qtron and it sounds pretty similar... any envelope should be close to his tone!

Thanks!

Yep, it’s an envelope filter. Jerry used a Mutron

Jerry used the old school Mutron, they’re expensive as hell nowadays buts Q tron will get you 90% there. I use a wet/dry pedal to get more definition and not so much quack that it takes up the whole mix.

Sounds like Feel Like a Stranger, Sunshine Daydream.

just check out Phred

they already did. not sure if they've shipped yet though

well it's a bit more expensive than the Wolph and overall looks to be better quality than the Wolph imo

Yes! At least a 5 layer neck, could be more, can’t see all the layers too well.

Look up Phred guitars on youtube. They have video explaining the whole concept

With Obel on signal goes from guitar to pedals back to guitar then to amp as opposed to the normal Guitar>Pedals>Amp. Doing this allows the tone to not be altered based on where your guitars volume is. Real trippy cool stuff

@@michaelpiercey7316 ha I didn’t really think it was that simple thanks for the comment. I will have to look up that Phred video too. Never saw that reply until now. Cool stuff

totally agree

2:37 and the following minute.. very Jerry to me

First Last I certainly don’t want to appear argumentative, however that section you mentioned is, to my ears, very “fizzy” sounding in the highs, a sound never associated with Jerry’s tone which was very fat and round even when it was most bright (except in the latter years when he was playing that awful Bolt guitar which was very “ice pick” like). I’m not saying the guitar is incapable of producing Jerry-like tones, only that the guitar and amp are not set up properly to generate those tones in this video which keeps us from being able to appreciate how the guitar is actually capable of sounding when guitar and amp are properly dialed.

@@bross63 Interesting, I'd never describe Jerry's tone as very fat or round. Rather shrill and sometimes even sort of hollow.. cutting.. I've grown to like it a lot though so that's where we meet!

First Last terms to describe guitar tones can sometimes fail to express one’s thoughts accurately as the same term can mean different things to different people. I agree that Jerry’s tone was very mid-hi and hi frequency oriented, and I believe I understand what you mean by “hollow” - that “woody” characteristic that he had in certain songs/settings. When I said Jerry’s tone was fat I meant that even when playing totally clean and even when playing with a brighter tone Jerry’s guitar never sounded thin or brittle. His tone was rich and singing and didn’t have the thinness that prevails through most of this video. Round probably wasn’t a good term to use because Jerry did have a high and mid frequency heavy tone much of the time as mentioned above, but he did still carry a strong bottom end and played at the top of the neck (nearest the nut/headstock) quite a bit other than when soloing. One other thing, the Dead went through many styles over their 30 years. Each of us has a favorite era of their music along with other eras we enjoy as well. While I enjoy their music from the beginning through the time Bruce Hornsby was with them (I still went to shows through April, 1995 but there were way more misses than hits and the sound overall wasn’t nearly what it was through 1990 and into 1991) my favorite era is 1971-1974 with 1975-1978 being my second favorite era. Because I don’t really care for most of the 1990’s and am particularly fond of the ‘70’s, both early and later, when I described Jerry’s tone my comments are weighted toward his tones during those periods. That said having seen many shows in the late ‘80’s through the spring of ‘95, I can say my comment about Jerry’s tone being fat and not thin hold true through the time Jerry was playing Tiger and even Rosebud. When Jerry switched to the bolt guitar his tone was defiantly more ice pick like to my ears. I appreciate your comments and the discussion. And I definitely agree that no matter what era of the Dead’s music each of us may gravitate toward personally, we all share the common bond of being drawn to something truly unique and very special both in music and culture/community.

@@bross63 Wish I could have seen them :) Very cool. Well, your ear is very tuned to the nuances of Jerry's tone over the decades, while I was considering the bigger picture, like the tone and playing in this video is really close to Jerry's when you compare it to, say, B.B. King, or Duane, those are fat and round in my ears. Hence I felt like your statement that the dude in this video sounds nothing at all like Jerry was way too strong and sort of disrespectful. I agree it should have been a twin reverb though :) I think so far my favourite Jerry tone is still with Alligator. It's remarkable really how much he sounds like himself on the most different types of guitars and settings though. That, to me, is the best example of "it's all in the fingers"!

RJ Ronquillo

That's why we make literally hundreds of different instruments - something for everyone!

@@eastwoodguitarsofficial Good response ;)

All treble and bass set to 0

? JM absolutely NAILS Garcia's playing.

Lol... I mean this guy is good. But he doesn't come close to Mayer. Any GD who listens to Dead & Co and hates Mayer's playing just wants to hate him because he's John Mayer and isn't being objective.

I like JM’s playing. I just like the way this guy plays Grateful Dead more.

Trey Anastasio played with the Dead once. I'd rather that.

@Gregory DeAngelis bruh Mayor slays on guitar. Your honestly just hating and don't even know it. Seen dead n co as well as all the incarnation and cover bands. When I closed my eyes this last tour i swear i forgot that it wasnt even jerry playing. If he wasnt as good as John K they wouldn't be still performing. In addition mayor just keeps getting better and better.

Chilllllllll. Chill out brah.

The demo is about the guitar itself, that's why.

He went back to Wolf a few times after he got Tiger. He played Stranger on it.

lmao!probably because he is not some crazed Dead Head and doesn't know or care like most folks.

Lulz. alright there Master P

Best band in history.

You know what really "hella sucks" chump? The moribund dreck that passes for jazz today--- evocative of nothing other than some jackass showing off in a smoky jazz club.

sucked? what planet are you from? oh I get it, u must be from youranus

Phillip Godfrey GD were like Taylor Swift for hippies. Ask John Mayer. He’s been in both.

@@wamgoc3637 anyone in that band could play circles around you and make you look stupid. You and probably all of your favorite bands too
