Alvarez is thrilled to be commissioned once more to bring you newly designed guitars featuring the Grateful Dead’s iconic imagery. Exclusive for 2019, a limited number of these guitars will be made, making these guitars a great collectable piece.

One of the truly fascinating aspects of the Grateful Dead is how much they evolved over the years, both sonically and visually. From the early minimalist logos of Owsley Stanley, like the Steal Your Face logo and Dancing Bears, to the detailed conceptual story-telling of Tim Truman and Tim McDonagh, the Grateful Dead artwork never crystalized, but was in a perpetual state of imaginative transformation which continues to this day. In that spirit, our new designs for the 2019 Grateful Dead guitars feature a collage of classic imagery in the AF60GD Dark Star as well as a beautiful rendering of Tim Truman’s Dead Skeleton in a summer scene for the AF60FD Sunshine. Each guitar will come complete with branded Grateful Dead packaging featuring the iconic Big Bertha as well as a hand numbered certificate of authenticity. It’s our honor to be commissioned once more to help create these exciting Grateful Dead collectibles. Order yours today while stock lasts.
