Description
The next chapter in a legendary career of guitar innovation, the Deluxe Bobby Weir 3 is a masterful semi-hollow offering a huge variety of unique tones. Pairing a sleek body shape with two custom TV Jones humbuckers and a wiring configuration that allows access to inner and outer coil pairings via push-pull tone knobs, players can conjure Weir’s notoriously slinky tones while also developing their own original sound. An ebony fingerboard caps a remarkably comfortable slim C-shape neck, while a smooth neck transition and deep cutaway allow for easy access to higher frets. Additional premium features include Jescar fretwire, a custom D’Angelico Shield tremolo, and locking tuners from Grover. Stage-tested with Dead and Company for years and designed to offer the perfect balance of airy warmth and Weir's long-sought “clang of cold steel”, the Bobby Weir 3 is an undeniable tonal powerhouse.
ROAD-TESTED
After testing out countless prototypes on stage with Dead and Company as well as with Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros, the Deluxe Bobby Weir 3 is the culmination of more than five years of road-tested research and design, from small theaters to iconic stadiums to Weir’s tour bus recording rig.
CUSTOM TV JONES PICKUPS
Custom DA-Trons from TV Jones are equal parts articulate and bold, offering a range of sounds from rich warmth to what Weir calls “the clang of cold steel”. And with a wiring configuration that allows players to isolate any coil across the set, the Bobby Weir 3 has no shortage of inspiring single-coil and blended tones.
STONE AND WINE
Available in two custom finishes—Weir’s original Matte Stone as well as an elegant Satin Trans Wine.
LIMITED EDITION
With only ten units hand-signed by Weir, the Deluxe Bobby Weir 3 is both a masterfully crafted instrument as well as a true collector’s item. Each Limited Edition guitar includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity and “Dead Forever” memorabilia.
