- Hey now! I am Leo Elliott, owner of Scarlet Fire Guitars. I was inspired by Luthier Doug Irwin and Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead to try and make these recreations of Doug Irwins custom guitar builds for Jerry Garcias guitars, the Tiger & Wolf, Rosebud! Doug Irwin made these custom built guitars for Jerry Garcia to play with the most iconic live touring jam band in the world, "Grateful Dead" band. These are my,
In my demonstration video of my guitar builds you will see Hunter playing the Tiger, Wolf and Rosebud and I am the special guest in this video playing my own bass guitar with Hunter. I hope you all enjoy the show!

Beatuiful guitars, EXTRAORDINARY PLAYING!!!!
I've been trying to emulate Jerry since I was 16, I'm now 63 and still a work in progress, LOL!!
Looks like you nailed it Bro, "tip of the hat"!!!
4-12-78 Bertha solo. My favorite.
Yep!
Playing had soul man. Great job! Even the delayed syncopation sounded just like early 90s JG. GUITAR IS SPOT ON!
I feel bad for people who don't like the dead
Doug Irwin just bought one of my guitars. I don't feel Worthy.
right on!!!!!!!!! great to know you guys are out there!!!!!!!!lovin it!!!!!!
Perfect Jerry tone. I always thought Tiger was the cooler one
Wow this guy is an amazing guitar player
Check him out in Forgotten Space! They kill it!
Stuart Hampton I will
Both look and sound awesome! Anyone have the tab for that 4-12-78 Bertha solo?
Beautiful work, great job, look and sound phenomenal!
Love it! One of your Wolf's is on my list! Sounds fantastic! Great video - thanks for taking the time to put this out there! (~);}
Amazing.
I've been seriously looking into different company replicas and you guys just blew me away. I will look into it more.
Thank you for the complement Lane. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at scarletfireguitars@yahoo.com
Well done and nice craftsmanship.
Thanks
Really looking for something like this thank you ill have to find this when i have the skrilla. Great guitar playing btw
Nice!
What an amazing sound coming out from this guitar. And who is this person playing? He is great, I couldn’t stop listening to him☮️🍄☯️🦷🍄
Beautiful guitars... My dad worked with the dead and Alembic from 67-82. I remember seeing the real deal and Alligator at Stinson Beach one day when my dad and a colleague were wiring Jerrys home studio.
Thanks for the accolades. Cool memories of you and your dad.
Sounds so fucking good I will make these with youth who need help one day!! ONE DAY!!!!
Wow that’s amazing. Did you make the tiger for the guy who plays in the Jerry Garcia project? That guitar was amazing. Do you actually sell these Instraments to the public. Not that I could afford one or have any business playing one. It’s such beautiful art. Thank you for doing what you do. Great bass playing. That fire was incredible.
Kurt, Thank you. I did make a guitar for Mik Bondy, The Garcia Project. Yes I do make guitars for the public. Thank you for the bass playing comment you bestowed towards myself. Gratefully, Leo Elliott
You better know how to play some Dead if you show up with one of these bad boys 😬🎶, Haha, wish I had one, excellent work, well played
The tiger sure has a growl
Wow that sound he got during Scarlet was beautiful... Is that a synth in combination with this beautiful guitar or more one that the other?
INCREDIBLE
How may years have luthiers been trying to replicate the Stradivarius instruments? It is my belief the Doug Irwin hit a high water mark in the construction of stringed instruments. The cannon of Grateful Dead of music still lives and breathes in the next generation of young players like Hunter who were either not born or toddlers when Jerry died. Do people listen to J.S. Bach because of nostalgia for the 1720's?
Scarlet feiler guitars, I have written on a guitar magazine back in the '70s that Jerry Garcia claims that the effects loop would cause the envelope filter to open and close differently than if you didn't use the effects loop in the guitar any reason why the envelope filter would open and close differently while putting the by using the guitar effects loop?
Thanks for asking. The OBEL allows the mutron to v always see the full output of the pickups ,along with the low z of the buffers signal, together they do what Jerry intended when he 1st conceptualized the OBEL on the 1st place.
@@scarletfireguitars Garcia had an Alembic preamp which has a Low Z output which is driving the Envelope filter pedal. I'm not sure if the guitars effects loops has the Alembic preamp on the SEND or on the RETURN. But most Envelope filter pedals were designed to see a Hi Z input from the guitar pickups. Garcia guitar effects loop send port was a buffered Low Z output to the envelope filter pedal is going to open and close differently?
@@scarletfireguitars the alembic preamp buffer output is low impedance output which changes how the envelope filter open and closes? Because the guitar output is low impedance it changes the envelope filter threshold points it seems
Sounds just like Jerry!
I can't help but say, with such craftsmanship and knowledge, you guys could earn a FORTUNE by producing a non-enthuisust commercial line that look the same but made with cheaper materials to make it $1000-1500 total. Theres many more people who can maybe only play some chords but love the Dead, eager to drop $1500, then there are loaded dead heads with the appetite for a handmade custom. Did you see those pieces of junk Eastwood guitars sold? Those horrible replicas are their best selling custom series EVER. It was Shocking to me too but just shows there's a huge opportunity out there for someone with the ability. I love the whole line, but I'm an investment banker and can't switch off my brain.
That's where Phred instruments comes in
@@morgancoyan9242 I know Phred guitars and great tip for those who don't but these guys, their craft is on another planet. They pay attention to details Phred doesn't or can't because they import parts. These guys make guitars that feel like butter in your hands, usually that kind of skill can produce some fabulous production lines using lower quality products. I was talking as a business opportunity for this company. I'm sure the margins are enormous when they sell a unit, but it must be a very rare occurrence and it just makes me squirm when I see a business that doesn't have a long term profitable business plan. I'm sure they have one but a production line would make them rich, not just specialists.
Call me and dicuss this Idea.
@@SuiGenerisMan give me a call!
Are you paying Doug Irwin for use of his designs?
Yes
Having heard Hunter play his Wolf copy live numerous times, I can attest that they nail the sound live.
Tiger!!! Me want!!! How much? Me sad now :(… nice growl at 6:09
This is the guy from Forgotten Space in Dallas, TX. Played Bobby until a couple of years ago, now he plays Jerry.
This is a very effective video. I want one now...
i was sold when I seen the Tool shirt!!!!!!!!
👌
Fantastic playing on brilliantly crafted guitars. Bravo!
Dead music has grown on me over the last few yrs
nicely done! Jerry would approve
Tiger has the Dead tone I remember. Beautiful craftsman ship.Doug Irwin would be proud
Well you definitely captured the Garcia tone with those guitars. Had me flashing back to my concert years following the Dead! LOL
I need to find a cash machine, I'll be right back.
But Brandt can't watch. He has to pay a hundred.
Kind of cool in an extremely pastiche and nostalgic sense. If you spend so much time making those, then why not make something that’s not a direct copy of something from the past? Hopefully that guitar player will take his tremendous skill and create something new for all the heads. I guess there is a lot of money 💰 to be made in recreating nostalgia , I’m sure this guy is back ordered to the max lol.
That is a good point. I was thinking about this as I was watching this. I already copy Jerry and the Dead enough by learning there stuff. I don't really also want a guitar that is a copy of one of Jerry's guitars, however, if it sounded like that, and looked kind of different but still looked cool, I would be willing to shell out whatever I could afford for it. I don't think it's just nostalgia though, those instruments are so freaking beautiful though, that they're more beautiful than any other guitars made, really. Easy to see why so many people would want them, and why guitar makers copy them.
Amazing sound, amazing playing!
Glad you enjoy it!
i've been dreaming of ordering one of your guitars for YEARS now! it's my 'won the lotto' dream guitar!
@@zeppelinboys mine too!
Great video Leo! Great playing and beautiful guitars! I have wanted a Tiger for many years, I think one will be on it’s way to Ireland!! Will be in contact Leo👍

Heck yeah leo!
Amazing work!!! Do you have any of your own original designs? If you can do Irwin guitars that great I'd imagine any other style guitars would be just as nice.
Yes
We need tophat
Oh man
My hat is off to the playing! Good lord is it excellent!
Anyone know where I can sell a kidney so I can buy one of these guitars?
Wolf last sold in 2017, for 1.7 million.
@@jackh577 these are tribute guitars so they're not sell your kidney level of expensive. Maybe a few thousand at most.
@@Ben7seven7 around 20k, check the site
Astounding. I have to ask, what guitar/rig were you using to track the Bobby parts? That sound is dead on
Heya Josh.. a nocaster with a twisted tele in the neck pickup, selector in middle position, through an old Music Man amp into a JBL D140 and 421. Stumbled upon the Tele for Bobby tones and never looked back, and mixing it with preamps like IVP or Dual Showman, parametric eqs, and speakers can yield a lot of great Bobby tones..
I fell in love with this tone on the signature lick on Touch of Grey. I always thought it was Phil playing that lick because it doesn't sound like a traditional guitar, it sounded like an Alembic.
WoW!
👍
You guys rock!
Thank you.
carter grant for real
Beautiful craftsmanship I hope one day to own one of these fine pieces of art
@Deion Sandals I really don’t know I’m sure that something that can be cleared up by contacting the builder, to what I understand they’re probably a little more expensive than I can afford right now but I’m sure it’s entirely worth it
@Deion Sandals using your words I love to dream lol I swear though as soon as I can afford it one day I will have one of these
