Jerry Garcia's guitar could bring in $1 million for SPLC

Jerry Garcia's custom-made guitar, called Wolf, is truckin' to auction.

Guernsey's says the Grateful Dead frontman's guitar will be offered May 31 at New York's Brooklyn Bowl.

The proceeds will go to the Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center .

It's being sold by "devoted Deadhead" Daniel Pritzker. The philanthropist, musician and film director bought it in 2002 at Guernsey's for $789,500. It could exceed $1 million this time.

Grew up 20 minutes from The Mothership in Hampton. My brother went to 300+ shows.
