Anyone know what kind of guitar Jerry is playing here?

Just pulling a Wild Hare out of a hat,

Jerry's guitar seems to have a Gibson headstock.

Maybe it is the "Les Paul TV" he played briefly.

These guys have all the answers:

And some cool stuff regarding the OBEL or 'Onboard Effects Loop' to explain how that functions...

March and April Jer switches to a custom built guitar. Said to be a Alembic project,

Nice link and shots, but Zone demerits for not posting the show itself. Let's look to improve on that.

Good ol' Grateful Dead.

That's the first Alembic prototype.

Nice shots, thanks.

Thom is correct- it's an early Alembic. He only played for it  about a month , or on that tour.

4-5-71 is a killer show...several tracks used on Skull Fuck

Thanks for the links!

I like how the Alembic Dude remembers all about the construction and wiring after all these decades. He must have kept pretty good notes !
