Jerry Garcia's Alligator guitar could sell for $400,000 at L.A. auction

LOS ANGELES - A battered Fender Stratocaster played by the late Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia could fetch up to $400,000 at an auction in Los Angeles next week.

The guitar, nicknamed Alligator because of the distinctive green alligator sticker on the front, was played by Garcia on the Grateful Dead’s 1972 European tour and other live performances between 1971-1973, auctioneers Bonhams said on Thursday. Moon said the $250,000-$400,000 estimate was on the conservative side and that the guitar could sell for much higher given Garcia’s skills as a guitar player and the fervent Deadhead fan base.

gtconway3d It will close higher!!!

gtconway3d Winning bidder: Irsay, J., Indianapolis, Indiana.

gtconway3d Colts owner Jim Irsay has the coveted tiger guitar. Jerry's main guitar from 79-89

gtconway3d Irony: the antithesis of what the grateful dead stood for.

That's a piece of crap guitar. You'd have to be an dummy or an investor to buy it.

People spend money on the stupidest things.

Jerry Garcia played guitar?

And will be bought by someone with more money than brains.

OMG... 😮 that’s fucking expensive

the tone he got out of that thing was in-fucking-credible. fun fact for non-heads: graham nash bought this guitar for $250 and gifted it to Garcia in the early 70's. now it's gonna auction for 400k.

Just imagine how many homeless people that could feed!!🙄🙄
