There's more in Corona than a slice of lime. The California city is also the home of Fender’s Custom Shop, and PG’s John Bohlinger, with our crack video team of Chris Kies and Perry Bean, descended on the shop recently for a different kind of rundown.
Here master builder Austin MacNutt gives us a close-up look at one of his special projects, the Jerry Garcia “Alligator” Stratocaster, in a limited run of 100. Check back in at premierguitar.com.

Neither of the guys asked a teki question - what is the "footman loop" purpose, along with the nut anchor, holding tension on different strings to keep them in tune...? I like the neatly tucked wind on those pegs - well done!

I love this guitar 🎸 - my Squier classic vibe 50s strat gets close enough to this tone under $500

Yea spending the 30k or wherever it was for these is bonkers considering if you really wanted too you could make your own close enough “tribute” for under 1,000.

This is soo amazing! I always hoped things like this would happen to Jerry's guitars.

I would love to play that guitar, I’m waiting for McIntosh to do a limited release of the Wall of Sound 🐉💫

How did you take the guitar apart and put it back together so quickly!? That’s the process I need to see. Looks amazing🤘🏼❤️

I was told that gator was a gift to Jerry from Graham Nash

@tylerthompson1842 2 ай бұрын

This is true. He bought it as a present for Jerry’s pedal steel work he did on Teach You Children. He found it in a Phoenix pawn shop for $250

Nothing about any of the Alembic mods? Nothing about the electronics? The original had a modified Alembic stratoblaster. This luthier gave us nothing for specs.

That’s amazing that master dude seems really cool. Yeah would have been cool to have seen the take apart and put back together in time lapse.

Yeah because Rick Rick Turner, Ron Wickersham, and Alembic guitars had nothing to do with that guitar. Fender sure loves scrubbing the truth from history.

Yeah, very odd. I'd sure like to know about the weird brass control plate and bridge, but I guess that info might be available elsewhere

Lol they have no idea what they're doing. They act like these great mysterious luthiers which is so far from the truth. The relicking is atrocious.

Gotta wonder if they've ever copied a guitar so exactly they forgot which was the original....

@Airhead348 Жыл бұрын

No they're not that good or even close. Did you see the Terry Kath Tele, the relic was awful white relic marks on the fingerboard look so new and unlike any real wear.

@searing7549 Жыл бұрын

I take it John isn’t a fan of Jerry. Sad. He seems to almost be mocking the importance of this instrument, and the musician who played it. So many guitarists overlook the genius of Garcia. They would be lucky to “get it”.

@carlosdeno Жыл бұрын

It’s wood and wire that’s it! When all the parts have me manufactured a trained monkey could assemble it. Fender and Gibson continue to make instruments that don’t warrant their price tag. Absolutely ridiculous, I own a Rory Gallagher Custom shop Stratocaster it’s so far from the original it’s beyond belief. It’s that poor I’m selling it, can’t wait to get rid if the fecking thing! Spunking over a sticker! 🤣🤣🤡🤡 pure comedy.
