Jerry Garcia Alligator Stratocaster Masterbuilt Austin MacNutt Item Description

This is the Fender Custom Shop Jerry Garcia Alligator Stratocaster - an incredible tribute guitar built as close to the original as possible by Masterbuilder Austin MacNutt!The Alligator began as a 1955 Stratocaster gifted to Garcia from Graham Nash as a thank you for Garcia's efforts playing on Nash's solo record Songs For Beginners in 1971.

Garcia immediately adopted it as his main instrument for the next two years, during which it became his first dramatically modified guitar. Although Garcia and the Dead became well known for heavily altering their equipment through the band's own offshoot gear company, Alembic, it was this Strat that first received the extensive workbench surgery that served as a Grateful Dead hallmark. Garcia's new Strat became a favorite known and loved by the guitarist and his fans as the "Alligator" - so nicknamed for the grinning cartoon alligator sticker Garcia affixed to the pickguard in 1972.

All three pickups are Josefina hand-wound '55-style single-coil Stratocaster pickups replicated from the Alligator itself, along with five-way switching, standard vintage Stratocaster wiring and replica "hat" control knobs on a three-ply parchment pickguard. Premium features also include a Relic® lacquer finish, one-piece rift-sawn maple neck with a profile scanned and replicated directly from the original guitar, 7.25" fingerboard radius and 1.625" brass nut width, 21 Medium Vintage frets, custom brass bridge and tailpiece with rosewood base plate, Schaller® M6 tuners, disc string tree with custom retainer bar, and custom birdseye maple back plate.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Trem Arm and Paperwork
