Artinger Doug Irwin Tribute Koa "Wolfie" (K26)

Brand new Doug Irwin Tribute "Wolfie" from Artinger Guitars! When Doug Irwin - legendary builder of Jerry Garcia's famous Wolf, Tiger and Rosebud guitars - passed in early 2026, Matt began construction of this very special guitar in tribute to Mr Irwin. This stunning guitar features a Koa top and back with flame maple core, as well as a eye-popping Koa/roasted maple neck and Koa neck/headstock binding. 

Features a Kluson harmonica bridge mounted to a tapped brass body block like the original Wolf. And the carved heel and back is truly a work of art. Matt created a highly intricate Wolf body inlay with a smile and nod to Jerry with his Ray Bans down on his nose!

The electronics features the "3rd generation" Wolf setup - 2 Dimarzio Super 2s and a SDS1 - all wired with a DGN buffer and buffered effects loop (OBEL). Just like Jerry's. 

This very special guitar is a 1 of 1 and we are proud to be able to offer it here at Willcutt Guitars. We think Matt Artinger is one of the most talented luthiers building today and when you see this guitar you'll know why!
