the TIGER BADGE is modeled off of the inlay design from Jerry's main guitar, TIGER, which he played from 1979 to 1989. It was designed and built by Sonoma County luthier, Doug Irwin. The instrument was commissioned by Garcia in 1973 following delivery of Wolf, his first major Irwin-built guitar. Upon commissioning the instrument, Garcia enjoined Irwin to "make it the way he thought was best, and DON'T HOLD BACK."
Throughout the design and construction process, it was provisionally designated "the Garcia". The final name came from the tiger inlaid on the preamp cover. The body features several layers of wood laminated together face-to-face in a configuration referred to as a "hippie sandwich" by employees of Alembic, where Irwin worked for a brief period in the early 1970s. The combination of several heavy varieties of wood, plus solid brass binding and hardware resulted in an unusually heavy instrument, weighing 13+1/2 pounds (6.1 kg). After Garcia began using a new Irwin guitar (known as Rosebud) in December 1989, Tiger became his backup guitar.
During the Grateful Dead's final concert on July 9, 1995, a mechanical problem arose with Rosebud. Tiger was brought out and thus became the last guitar Garcia played in public.

Great piece. Put him on Jerry’s side.
Website is easy to navigate and order, communication and shipping was excellent. Packaging is top notch and the instructions easy to follow, Tiger is of good quality and looks sharp on the back of my vehicle.
He represents the wild animals I like.
Looks great, right below my Stealie.
It is a really nice badge but it needs to come in a Left and Right versions because it would make them more versatile more projects.
Love the attention to detail and it’s definitely high-quality craftsmanship. I love how it looks on my car. I’ll have to take pics later. I might get another one for symmetry.
Nice item
feels plastic and not very detailed
As I smoke u in my Chevy ss 6.2 ,be reminded Jerry’s tiger….and fear not , alligator on other side will eat you. Actually heard tiger ask alligator if she could borrow his fork. True story lol
I had to get the tiger badge and I got that black matte finish to go with the same finish on the antelope on the other side of my license plate. Looks great on the back of my car. Thanks again, Grateful Fred.
To go with my Cats Badge
Love it everything was great
It looks great on my car
Great detail, classy, subtle, if you know, you know.
Love it, looks great on my convertible!
Grateful Fred is the best! Quality well made products all around!
Always loved the Tiger image from one of Jerry's guitars, and this badge presents it in a 3D image very well! I'm very pleased with it.
Nice
Nicely made. Easy to apply. Good customer service as well.
This was a present and because it was packaged so beautifully, I didn’t get my eyes on it until my friend opened it.
Wow!
🙌🏻 everyone loves it!
Good job
Love all that Fred Does. I. Ow have Wolf and Tiger framing my license plate, Jerry Hand on the gas cover, and the Bears on the bumper below the license plate. All things Grateful Fred.
Never even shipped!!
Got email saying it was shipped on 7/11/23 but still havent received it and not even showing up in USPS system. They won’t reply to your email either when you try to reach their contact us email. Sketchy!!
I was surprised it wasn't a magnet - not sure why I thought it was. Customer service was very helpful in explaining it wouldn't fall off until I wanted to remove it etc. I really like the look with the Stealie 2.0.
My favoritest of Jerry’s Geetars… Tiger!
It’s a cool addition to the car.
Looks good on my Tiger replica!
Slightly disappointed. The quality is good but it looks too much like plastic- unlike the other two that I have on my Saab 95. It is very shiney and I would have preferred it to be more similar to that chrome emblem look that sold me on the first two that I purchased, regardless of my knit picking I still am very happy with "Tiger."
This a beautiful thing it reminds me of the many Jerry shows
Well made, awesome piece!!
Very Nice!!!!
This badge is awesome! Thanks Fred!
when are the Tiger and Wolf Chrome going to be half-price again?
