Jerry’s impact certainly reaches far beyond any one instrument. He changed peoples lives for the better and continues to do so many years removed from his departure. It has been an incredible honor to help bring Jerry Garcia‘s Alligator Strat back to life. It takes a village and this one runs deep: It all started with a VERY late night conversation with my pal @hankbate about Europe ‘72 and the bad assness that is Alligator. Huge thanks to @bigsteveparish for being an amazing human and for his willingness to share stories from his time with Jerry and their relationship with Alligator. Thank you to @thedanieldonato for being a champion of guitar and a perfect representation of Jerry’s legacy. Thank you @marcallan and @_andy_logan_ for being incredible partners and new pals. Thank you @austinmacnutt_fender, @mschulz83, and the whole Fender crew who made this happen.
