Description

Jerry Garcia

Jerry Garcia’s cigarette-burned Fender Twin Shell, ca. 1969


Pinewood frame and black Tolex covering (20 x 26.25 x 10’’), metal tilt back legs, with “Toronto No Smoking Ordinance” affixed to side, with amplifier and speaker removed by Steve Parish.


"Big" Steve Parish: “Jerry had this Blackface Twin since 69/70 and used it for years including in the Wall of Sound. It was this one that Healy took a line from into Jerry’s McIntosh 2300 that really made the Twin sound really enormous. He switched out the speakers and amp at some point, but there’s just so much history to this one. You can see all along the top where he would rest his cigarette while playing.”
