Man, i really need to finish fixing up my Strat. Got it set up for master volume and master tone, with a set of hand-wound Eastgrove pickups. From the store it came as a cheap 2013 Squier "surf strat", and it's been nothing but wonderful since i started upgrading its equipment.
@@crazylegscabs5659 Yes, very much! I've only watched a few videos so far. I'm developing even a deeper appreciation of the sound after all these years )) Great channel! Muchas Garcias!!!
I prefer the middle Strat pickup without a tone control on it. I'm in the process of rewiring a Strat style guitar (Carvin Bolt) and will wire the tone controls on the Neck and Bridge pickups. Should be fun!
I feel the same way about Jerry's tone. I have a 93 American strat and middle pickup is where I live mostly. I had a fender blues J.r that got stolen, and then I got a deal on a Marshall 2000 DSL 401 and I could NEVER get the tone I wanted out of it, and I hate it. Makes me not want to play. I blew another power tube, so I decided to fix it and sell it. I tried different speakers on the Marshall and it just sucked no mater what i did I'm the mean time, I pieced together a rig with a 15" Carvin monitor and believe it or not a Pyle 750 watt PA amp. I love the tone on his thing! Duane Allman had a lot to do with Jerrys tone and style, IMHO>
i got a squire 40th anniversary vintage style and boss katana mk2 50watts with a fender twin verb studio matched sound patch... it gets so close, i cant believe it my self :'D
In my humble estimation, it’s the sum of a lot of little things. In its essence the high output pickups being amplified by a cleanish fender style amp and fed to JBL or equivalent speakers get a lot of it. The details and the little things add up, keep an eye on the channel, we are going to try and figure it out a little.
@@crazylegscabs5659 but what equivalent speakers are close to those JBL D120 because the chrome dust cover makes a big difference in that snappy thump tone I been told
I think there’s a bunch of reasons. It’s partially aesthetic, but it’s also partially the way the speaker cabinets are arranged in the original wall of sound in ‘74. Also stage real estate is/was scare, even in the real GD. The Dead where really into the science of sound waves. I have to believe it had something to do with that. Additionally, in a Dead band setting, it’s nice having a speaker squawking at you from about belt height front rather than from way down on the floor.
Good stuff man! I canNOT get enough of Jerry Strat tones, been obsessed for years, and will die happy if I never get over it.
Atta Boy!
Listening 40 years to the dead and just learned yesterday about that middle pickup sound being so Jerry!
Hey, I’m here to help! Thanks for watching

Great stuff. You nail the vibe and tone as well not easy to get that vibe. Jerry was never in a hurry to get anywhere. Great job.
Thanks so much, great way to put it
Lovin' all your videos so far! I'm learning alot! Thanks for breaking down the Jerry Strat and thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Glad you like them!

You bet bud, thanks for taking the time to check it out.
@@crazylegscabs5659 Thank You Bro! You have a new fan on your channel ))

Thanks!

Nice, thanks find I usually want a little tone control, strats are cool because you can do it a bunch of different ways. Thanks for watching
Eric johnson strats come wired like that
That sounds pretty damn good

I am trying to learn guitar and the Jerry sound. I bought an American Strat and a new Fender Blues Jr . It looks like I got the first step correct !
You make it look so easy
i got a squire 40th anniversary vintage style and boss katana mk2 50watts with a fender twin verb studio matched sound patch... it gets so close, i cant believe it my self :'D
the only thing the katana is missing for the full jerry soundbank is a real envalopefilter..
Very nice!
love it
CRAZY LEGS< Besides the middle pickup, what else gives that trademark garcia tone?

Check out my video on Garcia tone on a budget. Webber makes a couple that will do the trick. The Michigan and the California.

Nice rig, can you tell what pickups are in that guitar. Thanks
The spec sheet says HW Strat Fat 60’s. Disclaimer: I haven’t taken the pick guard off the guitar to check and see for sure.
@@crazylegscabs5659 Thanks Suscribed
Nice
What year is that strat from?
Been following you on IG just found your YT.. not tech savvy 😂
You are dead right. With Jerry it's all about the middle pickup.
Every Garcia rig clone has vertical speakers....Why?
