I finished this one today. It was built for a friend who is a Jerry Garcia fan. He also is a Bernese Mountain Dog lover and I wanted to do something special on this one as he lost two of his dogs recently. I went off of pictures I found on his FB page for the body and head stock inlays.
He's a strat lover so his only request was 3 single coils, and I had free license on the rest, so I did a Quilted Maple Drop-Top over Northern Ash.

Beautiful work, Mike! I'm sure the new owner loves it! Did you design the horns based on dog's ears or am I just imagining that?

It's based on Jerry Garcia's custom guitars that Doug Irwin made for him. The first one he made for him actually, if I remember correctly. Some later ones had pointier horns if I recall correctly. Personally not my favorite design, but Mike did a fine job as usual.Originally Posted by Julie Moriarty
