The 1970 built Dan Erlewine Strat custom ordered by Jerry and played in 1972. Dan is a Luthier that has a rather giant Luthier retail shop online called stewmac.com. You can check out his video about it over there as well as get a quality switch for an OBEL or whole strat kit! I think this Custom Erlewine may have been given to Hunter as he is seen playing it later on.

A quote from Dan about from The Les Paul Forum. "Yeah, I built Jerry a guitar around 1970ish? It was a black walnut bodied Strat with a maple neck. I was into "wood" so it had a rosewood pickguard and other "woody" thinks at the time. I have an 8mm movie of me delivering it to him in the mountains of St. Helena, CA where my wife's uncle owns a ranch. We visited when my oldest daughter was a baby. I charged $500 and Jerry gave me $900!

The guitar wasn't worth it! It was OK, but not compared to custom instruments that luthiers are building today. I ma(d)e the neck with maple laminations running at right angles to the fretboard. It made for a weird neck, I'll tell you because since it was a "maple neck" and had no fretboard the playing surface showed glue joints! I was always a little disatisfied with that. I thought it would have "killer" tone and strength because it was maple out of an ancient piano that I tore apart.

It had a stop-bar and tune-o-matic also (Jerry wanted that. . . it also had the num(b)ers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 , 12, inlayed in large rosewood numerals at those respective frets. Just a crazy hippie-idea of mine.

It also had a brass nut - the very first brass nut that I had ever been asked to make.

I have a pic of Jerry with it if you want to see it.

thanks, Dan

PS: I ran into a young fellow at the GAL Convention in Tacoma perhaps 6 years ago, and his father ended up with that guitar, and then gave it to him. He was pleased to meet me, and I was pleased that he did NOT have the guitar in hand (with all my building and repair buddies around (500 of them)." #waldotronics #jerrygarciatonenerd

So excited about this guitar… This is an irisguitar DE-11 Dan Erlewine model and there is nothing else like it. Inspired by Dan’s 1930s Kalamazoo. V-shaped neck, Rickard rear-mount banjo tuning machines, an Adirondack spruce top, a satin finish, as well as Honduran mahogany back, sides, and neck. Most intriguing, its neck extends past the nut before transitioning into the ears of the peghead, and threaded brass inserts in the fingerboard accept screw-down capos. Available now!

-Staff Pick Saturday-
Matt’s pick is the Iris Dan Erlewine DE-11 Sunburst acoustic. This model Dan’s first signature guitar, based on his beloved 1937 Kalamazoo KG-11. It features a 1930s V-shaped neck, Richard rear-mount banjo tuning machines, an Adirondack spruce top, a satin finish, as well as a Honduran Mahogany back, sides and neck. This guitar also has a really neat capo system that screws directly into the fretboard that we forgot to photograph. Whoops! This guitar really bulldozes the competition.
