Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead's Rosebud Stealie
Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia took great pride in his guitars. Though he played many in his career, there are a handful of truly noteworthy axes that have stood the test of time. A true musician’s musician, Jerry Garcia has not only left us with a rich legacy of music, but one of musical instruments as well.
Let’s take a look back at these s guitars that Garcia used throughout his career…
Despite Doug Irwin going “all out” for Tiger, guitar technology only improved throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s. Hard at work again, Irwin created Rosebud for Garcia at the end of the 1980’s, with built-in MIDI controls. The guitar was the spiritual twin of Tiger, though weighed a full two pounds lighter with a hollowed out maple core. Excluding some swapping out of pickups, Garcia never modified Rosebud in its years of use. The inlay was initially named “The Saint,” but was nicknamed Rosebud by Garcia himself.
The guitar made its debut on New Years Eve of 1989, ushering in the new decade with style. Garcia used the guitar almost exclusively during the early 1990’s, until he was given Lightning Bolt in 1993. Lightning Bolt was out for repair, however, during the summer of 1995; thus, it was Rosebud that Garcia played on his final tour, including the second-to-last ever song that he played, “Black Muddy River”. The guitar was eventually donated to the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, where it currently resides.
