3/14/2012 (Wow! Jerry Garcia's Takamine Is Worth Way More Than His Harley)

Artdaily has the details about an upcoming auction of Jerry stuff...

Instruments on offer will include a well-known Garcia acoustic Takamine guitar, as seen on the album covers for Pure Jerry Vol. 8 and Ragged But Right, played from 1985-1988 for acoustic shows (est. $100,000-$150,000); an Ibanez guitar, designed for Jerry Garcia by Ibanez and Bob Weir in 1977 (est. $50,000-$60,000); and a Billy Kreutzmann drum set (est. $10,000-$15,000).

In addition, there will be a 1983 Jerry Garcia-owned Harley Davidson, featured on the cover of the book Playing in the Band by David Gans (est. $40,000-$60,000). The auction also includes handwritten set lists, Garcia’s sunglasses, the famous Skull and Roses banner from The Grateful Dead Movie and rare items from the Wall of Sound!


So, you could work out some "Deep Ellum" on the same axe Jerry plays in this clip or hit the open road on the hog and save up to a hundred grand...

Which would you choose?
