Bob can't retire.. He's gotta carry the torch.. and being a Bobby Acoustic Junkie, when he digs into an intro.. and then wanders off the path for a bit, playing bits and pieces of chords... coming around through the five and tying it together.. before a word is sung, Bob, through his guitar... has spoken. (~):}
After researching this guitar 🎸, I thought it would fill the tonal gap I have with my guitar arsenal, Jeff Beck Strat, SG, 345, and a PRS hollow body 2, . The last 2 weeks I have played a wide range of my catalogue and it has been impressive especially in the upper register, but I’m having trouble with the trem it is pulling out of tune and will not hold a high position like Jeff Beck needed. I’m working with those issues cause I want to keep it, spending 300.00 on a trem system for a new guitar is a burn 🔥 in the ass. Fire on the mountain…man
Really love this guitar, p90s are a great option. What does the deluxe do that the standard can't in terms of sound? Are the pickups and coil taps superior, or is it a difference between normal or gold hardware? I'm consider either model.
Hey Colin, it's really a matter of more boutique pickups (seymour duncan x lollar) and higher end hardware (grover, wilkinson, jescar) on the deluxe in addition to the gold hardware. But the Premier is still excellent - and tonally hits a very similar space.
They are stacked P-90s! Which behaves like a humbucker in that it uses a second coil to fight off noise. If you pull out the volume knob (corresponds to neck pickup split) or master tone knob (corresponds to bridge pickup split) you essentially remove the second coil to make it a true vintage style P-90.

D'Angelico Guitars nice, thanks on the reply! Good call on the p’ups. I have two Les Pauls with P90’s, they’re great for some things, less on others. The humbucking fix with coil splitting is nice.
One of my many electric guitars in my misspent youth was a Bobby Weir model Ibanez. Mahogany wings, neck through body, gold plated hardware. Sustain for full minutes. God, I miss that guitar. Heavy af, though.
"A good instrument shouldn't be just for elite folks. I remember when I was young and upcoming I couldn't afford expensive guitars" Humble statement and well said. However the guitar is over $2000. Something only the "elite" can afford these days
Best rhythm player ever. Simple
No question. 100 percent
I could watch Bob play solo for hours. Such an incredible musician. Looking forward to trying this one out.
Bob plays better than ever, and he sounds better than ever too.
I bought one a few weeks ago. It’s a great guitar, very versatile and easy to play.

You're having way too much fun to retire. I'm having way to much fun coming to watch you play. See you in Boulder.
I saw Bob weir model on the Guitologist channel. I loved that guitar. I want to try one.
the lost sailor demo is so amazing
Compass card is spinnin, spinnin
I was just thinking about this guitar today... and then you gotta show a vid of the man himself playing it... take my money
He makes that guitar sound really good.
Sounds great! Very versatile, useful and articulate! Thanks, great demo!
Still my favorite
You are in the "Great", category my friend.Cuaght the show at Dodger stadium playing the SS. Amazing show!!
I was there in the pit. He sounded great that night
AWESOME!!!!
I would love to hear him tell more stories, while playing nonchalantly.
Legend
He is the a goat on rythm guitar

Pretty guitar.
I wish they would specify what kind of amp are we hearing it being played through.
It's a Fender Deluxe Reverb
It took me till i was 50 odds to realise the brilliance of The Grateful Dead
I love it has that strats cluck but fat like a humbucker. Maybe it’s the amps EQ.
Retire ?! From show business ?! & do what ? The most shimmering rhythm guitarist alive.
To bad it has a Wilkinson 6 point trem on it. D'angelico, will you ever use a dual fulcrum tremelo?
I’m a bit surprised by the P90s, are they humbuckers? Or straight P90’s?

Has a Jerry esq tone to it
What you’re hearing as Jerry tone is actually bob tone.
Tennessee Jed!!!!!
Don't get me wrong in no guitar player BUT my first GUITAR was an IBANEZ god WAY BACK when I don't know WHEN. !!!

Me and weir have similar taste
Mums the word.

You can get these for $600-800 all day
FYI Bobby,...you were in "that category" long ago!
"Good instruments shouldn’t just be for elite folks.” How much are those Vegas residency tickets gonna cost?
