Released back at Halloween 2020, short of twenty- and forty-thousand-dollar Jerry Garcia replica guitars, this is one of the very finest Grateful Dead tributes out there. To mark the 50th anniversary of the Dead’s landmark American Beauty album, D’Angelo, in consultation with Bob Weir and co., created this stunning limited edition thinline.
Work of art
Based on the company’s Premiere SS range template, the American Beauty model is prestige guitar making at the very top of its game. From the gorgeous reimagining of the original album’s rose artwork, to the mother-of-pearl D’Angelo headstock logo, the all gold hardware to the twin Seymour Duncan designed HB-102 humbuckers, this can just as easily be the guitar out in front of your band as you knock off ‘Sugar Magnolia’ and ‘Box of Rain’, as the exquisite work of art that lovingly hangs above your Winterland and Giants Stadium boxsets.
