Guitar Info
An historic guitar build from the legendary Luthier and repairman Dan Erlewine.  In the early 1970s, Dan built a custom Strat for Jerry Garcia with a unique configuration that was one of Jerry's recording and performance guitars in the mid-1970s from the same block of black walnut used for the "Lucy" Flying V guitar that Dan built for the blues legend Albert King in 1971.  The Erlewine workshop has just completed a replica build of the original "Jerrycaster" which is one of less than 5 replicas produced in the last 50 years.  The build is from black walnut which is the same Tonewood that was used in the original, as well as classic Maple Wood strat neck.  Jerry Garcia loved the large numerical fretboard that Dan had installed on an old Martin, and this repliica shows the exact same fingerboard aesthetic.  The double-cutaway, solid body is equipped with 3 single-coil pickups.  This is not only a remarkable instrument to own but is represents a piece of guitar history built by the world's most famous repairman of our time, and represents a phenomenal collection opportunity.
