Jerry and Alembic started customizing the guitar. They added military style black top-hat knobs, a brass nut, brass hardware to replace a broken pickguard, wood filling of the tremolo cavity, silver paint shielding for the electronics, a new tailpiece and bridge, brass string-tree, new super-tall frets, an Alembic preamp circuit, and of course, stickers.
Stickers included Harley-Davidson and the Alligator with a knife and fork that gave the Strat its name. Garcia used the guitar from 1971 through 1973, when he retired it from Grateful Dead tour duty.
