Jerry Garcia's legendary 'Wolf' guitar is set to go under the hammer at a Guernsey's auction on 31 May at Brooklyn Bowl in New York City.
Custom-made by luthier Doug Irwin, Wolf was played by Garcia in the Grateful Dead from 1973 until his passing in 1995, after which it returned to Irwin.
This is not the first time the guitar has been up for auction, having fetched nearly $1,000,000 back in 2002, but its current owner is selling up to raise money for the Southern Poverty Law Center, which fights racism and hate groups.
As he puts it, “The time is right for Wolf to do some good… If ever we needed the SPLC, we sure do need them now.”
If you fancy a bid, head over to Guernsey's.
“A unique octave bass fuzz with a built-in, 2-voice ring modulator”: The Maestro BB-1 Brassmaster is a super-rare bass octave fuzz from the ‘70s that sounds great on guitar, sells for $2,000+, and Behringer just made a $69 clone of it
“Maintain a consistently optimal neck setup, playability, and string action, regardless of changing environmental conditions”: Has Furch just made acoustic guitar setups a thing of the past with its new CNR System Active neck?
