Excitable tonewoods, old and new
The body of this Silver Sky “Dead Spec” Limited provides the same construction as Jerry Garcia’s swamp ash-bodied ’55 “Alligator” guitar. The round, smooth tone of swamp ash offers a warm foundational base that lovingly sparkles on the top end — a Rosetta Stone tone for Grateful Dead tuneage! Its complementing fingerboard and neck combo remains more contemporary, offering 22 frets of rosewood-topped maple for curiously roaming the realms of soft rock, psychedelia, jazz, folk, and beyond.
If you're a single-coil tone connoisseur, you'll love the Silver Sky “Dead Spec” Limited. Equipped with three 635 JM single-coils, its pickups combine the best elements of early-'60s American electric guitars: a round and full tone with glassy, musical highs that never venture into ice pick land. The chiming harmonics yielded by these pickups are simply jaw-dropping. And when you put them in front of a tube amp, you get a gorgeous growl with outstanding note definition. These 635 JMs have a few modern tricks up their sleeve, too. They exhibit a higher signal-to-noise ratio than vintage models, and their in-between sounds are noise canceling. On top of that, their electronics have been precision valued, ensuring superior consistency from pickup to pickup.
Tone-preserving preamp
While John Mayer’s signature top-tier pickups keep your tone sculpting options wide-open, Jerry Garcia’s preamp of choice — the Alembic Blaster — stands by to assign an ideal stage-ready sound to the Silver Sky “Dead Spec” Limited. Operated via a mini toggle atop a brass control plate and above the instrument jack, the Alembic Blaster preamp helps not only boost your guitar’s output, but also gives you the freedom to level your volume control without suffering tonal hindrances as a result. The perfect appointment for tone preservation? It’s what Jerry would’ve wanted!
Jerry’s influence on the Silver Sky “Dead Spec” Limited extends into its hardware, too. First and foremost, you’ll find a brass nut behind the first fret that works wonders for achieving that bright and clear responsiveness while also offering plenty of sustain. Also, a string retainer offers stable seating for your strings, so you won’t have to worry about negative tonal impacts from par-for-the-course movement and slips. Plus, a set of locking vintage-style tuners and a modified hardtail Gen III Tremolo help anchor your intonation and leave you with all the confidence you need to sound your best onstage.
