Here's a link to a message from the surviving members of the Dead in response to Doug Irwin's lawsuit:
http://www.dead.net/hotline_info/NEW_DOCUMENTS/band3_27.html
: There is currently a lawsuit going on whereby Doug Irwin is claiming the rights to Garcia's guitars. Anyone have any info about this?
: : : Does anyone know who manufactured Jerry Garcia's guitars? (The ones that look like a wolf's head with cropped ears as the cutaways). (Phil Lesh had a bass that looked similar).
: : : I know there were a few different ones he used. They all had 3 pickups and his 2-cable output jack set up.
: : : If anyone has any information, I would appreciate if they could e-mail it to me.
: : : Thanks.
: :
: : Actually I just built myself one cause one of the guys that built Jerry's is dead and the other noone ever hears from.
: : Steve Cripe built "lightning Bolt" and "Top Hat" for Garcia. He's dead.
: : Doug Irwin built the original ones "Rosebud " and " Tiger"
: : You can tell which is which by the cover plate that hides Jerry's midi controls.
: : And all you who say Garcia was crap FUCK OFF!!
