What luthier are you using in Nashville? I used Southbound Custom to setup my Weir SG.

Yet another thought might be to skip that inlay all together. When Jerry got the Tiger in'79 he was Jerry Fucking Garcia!! in CAPS! and that guitar was his axe and nobody else's. I myself own a knock off but it's no Tiger and I'm no JG. I mean no ill will, just something to chew on.

I see your point. I am not Jer and this is not tiger. Which is why I didn't want to put the "J.Garcia".

Not "Tiger" but an incredible simulation!!

Maybe I should put "JERRY FUCKING GARCIA" That would be pretty cool.

JFC say it isn't so!! I see your point but...oh shit...no, it is custom fitted to my hands and it will have the right pickups and wood etc...IT WILL BE MAGNIFICENT! (I hope)

Brother, if you spent time with the luthier doing measurements or like's dislikes on a variety of instruments or bringing in your guitars with your pros and cons or anything like that I wouldn't worry one bit. I'm talking about guys show order customs from say Fender or Gibson or in my case Parker via phone and email and the end result was less than satisfactory.

BTW, I still vote you name her Tiger
