Description

There are 12 discrete possible voices that are all pretty different,” Garcia said of Tiger’s electronics. That tonal power is the reason Tiger was his main guitar for the next 11 years, a continuous run longer than that of any other guitar Garcia played. Lindquist, David (May 23, 2016).

During the Grateful Dead's final concert on July 9, 1995, a mechanical problem arose with Rosebud. Tiger was brought out and thus became the last guitar Garcia played in public. Immediately after receiving the “Wolf” guitar from Doug Irwin in 1973, Jerry Garcia commissioned “Tiger,” telling Irwin to make the most extravagant instrument he was capable of. The instrument—composed of highly figured exotic woods that are sandwiched and laminated together and embellished with ornate brass bindings and the inlay of a tiger—took Irwin about two thousand hours of work to complete over six years. Garcia first played “Tiger” on August 4, 1979, at the Oakland Civic Auditorium, and he used it almost exclusively until 1989. It was the last guitar Garcia played publicly with the Grateful Dead, at a performance on July 9, 1995. After Garcia's death, a dispute arose between Irwin and the Grateful Dead regarding ownership of Garcia's four Doug Irwin guitars. In his will, Garcia gave possession of these instruments to Irwin. The Grateful Dead challenged whether Garcia had the right to convey title and insisted that the band owned the instruments. The parties reached a settlement in 2001 where Irwin was awarded two of the guitars, Tiger and Wolf, and the Grateful Dead took possession of the other two, Rosebud and Headless (the latter of which Garcia had never played onstage). [3] The ACG2 and ACG3 Acoustics are a size up to the small body guitars. With a professional sound and a comfortable playing experience that even the more advanced player could benefit from.The ACG4 electro-acoustic lets you experience the acoustic tones of an ACG3 amplified, great for performing live. Have you ever arrived at a rehearsal, lesson or gig only to find that your guitar is out of tune? Why spend ages trying to get a semi-tuned string by ear when you could achieve perfect tuning in a matter of minutes with the Tiger T-47 Chromatic Clip-On Tuner? With exceptional price points and superb playability, these guitars are a great place to start for aspiring musicians and for those who want a quality acoustic without the commitment to an expensive guitar. Tiger provides a variety of guitars within their ACG range, from the 3/4 guitars to the electro-acoustics. With Tiger’s versatile array of acoustics, there will definitely be an acoustic suitable for you. Bloom, Steve (June 24, 2019).

With their compact size and uncompromised sound, these guitars provide great playability and simple adjustments when it comes to tuning and restringing. Selvin, Joel (November 6, 2001).
