Born in 1942 and introduced to music from a very young age, his achievements with guitar were all the more impressive for having lost two-thirds of his right middle finger when his brother cut it off in a wood splitting accident when he was four. Although he personally disavowed the title, he was widely viewed as the de-facto leader of the Grateful Dead and performed with them throughout their entire 30-year career. Garcia was also a prolific collaborator who founded numerous side projects, including the Jerry Garcia Band and New Riders of the Purple Sage. Celebrated for his technical virtuosity and unique playing style, he was repeatedly ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the greatest guitarists of all time and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. His signature musical approach relied heavily on long, spontaneous improvisations, which he viewed as a form of sonic exploration rather than merely playing written songs. Later in life he faced severe health struggles and drug addiction, ultimately passing away from a heart attack in 1995 while staying at a rehabilitation facility.

In a 1992 interview, Jerry Garcia said of the influence Nordine had:  “You gotta go back to 17-year-old me growing up in the bay area. When I heard Ken’s first Word Jazz albums, it was like a religious experience. It was not only a completely different way of thinking, but a fantastic combination of words and music…it wasn’t songs. It wasn’t poetry or songs exactly–it was a wonderfully peculiar kind of thing you thought only you think about. A lot of these things were formative and brought a significant sense of where my own aesthetics came from in those recordings.”

He was having fun with it and gave his paintings the same intense attention that he gave to learning new songs. This piece demonstrates Jerry's versatility and humor. The artworks were often hung in the house where Jerry was living and painting prior to his health breakdown in 1986 and came with us when we all moved to a different home in San Rafael in 1987.

He was having fun with it and gave his paintings the same intense attention that he gave to learning new songs. This piece demonstrates Jerry's versatility and humor. The artworks were often hung in the house where Jerry was living and painting prior to his health breakdown in 1986 and came with us when we all moved to a different home in San Rafael in 1987. After the big earthquake in 1989 we decided to carefully wrap up the art pieces and put them away for safekeeping. All of the airbrush works have been stored since then. Looking at these paintings, so whimsical and bright, we are glad to reveal them now and have them be shared. Jerry's vision and skill is all over these pieces. He had an idea of what he wanted did some sketches and then carefully created a finished work. The more you look at it the more there is to see in it. He was smiling when he made this."

This case housed one such speaker simulator at some point, which sat behind Jerry’s guitar rig.  The case has a silver exterior and a grey foam interior with a large cavity for the simulator plus two smaller ones which were presumably for cables or other accessories.

    Jerry Garcia | Studio and Video Played 1939 Gibson Super 400N Archtop Guitar, Natural

    Est: $80,000 - $120,000

    A 1939 Gibson Super 400 archtop guitar (serial number: 95924), in a beautifully aged natural finish which was owned and played by Jerry Garcia, the beloved co-founder, songwriter, and lead guitarist of legendary rock and jam band Grateful Dead. This well-kept and lovingly played instrument comes directly from Jerry Garcia's daughter, Trixie.  Garcia also participated in a number of other projects including the Jerry Garcia Band, Old & In the Way, and frequent collaborations with mandolinist David Grisman. In fact, Garcia used this very Super 400N on recording sessions with Grisman, including the duo’s 1993 album of children’s songs Not For Kids Only, as well as the song “Blue Yodel #9” from Garcia and Grisman’s Been All Around This World, Garcia’s final album session before his passing in 1995. In addition to having been photographed in Garcia’s hands numerous times over the years, it was also played by Jerry in the video for “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” from the soundtrack for Wayne Wang's 1995 movie, Smoke. It features a 25.5 inch scale length three piece flame maple neck, a multi-ply bound 20 fret ebony fretboard, mother of pearl split block Super 400 inlays, multi-ply bound headstock with mother of pearl Gibson script logo and split diamond inlays, a black factory stinger on the back of the headstock with mother of pearl split diamond inlay, and six gold plated stair step button Grover Imperial tuners. The body has a spruce top and highly figured book matched maple back and figured maple sides, with multi-ply binding, bound f-holes, engraved gold Super 400 Y tailpiece, a marbled reddish brown pearloid pickguard, Super 400 inscription on the neck heel cap, X top bracing, and replaced ebony bridge. The guitar is missing an oval plaque which was once affixed to the back of the headstock with two screws, but still retains its original brown Lifton case with pink interior, a black strap, a thin grey cable, a photo of the guitar, and a bag containing a very old set of strings and fragments of the celluloid pickguard.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDI9suNomFA
