What perfect timing for Fender to be releasing a replica of Jerry Garcia's legendary "alligator" Strat guitar! The guys were lucky enough lucky enough to spend some time with the original backstage at The Greek this weekend with Tedeschi Trucks Band. See it in all of its glory, and hear some clips of Dave and Susan playing!

Looks like the pot's and assembly are from a Fender Jazz Bass?  Way freakin' cool, but you could buy an entire Guitar Center for $420K!  (almost)  😉

@rusty I read the only problem with the "Alligator Jerry Garcia Stratocaster" is after playing it, the next day you have a strong desire to lay on the edge of a lake.
