I'm new here. Thought this would be a good place to ask this question.
How close in tone is a Further (or Tribute for that
matter) to the originals given that they don't use
the same pickups? I've seen Dead copy bands and the
lead players have guitars that copy Jerry's electronics (modified strats) with very good results.

Welcome to the board David. To my ears, Jerry's sound changed dramatically when he started playing the wolf. Originally the wolf was fitted with standard strat electronics with a Blaster. Compare Morning Dew from Europe 72 with one from Dick's Picks 14.

Alembic's electronics are in a different league to conventional, high impedance pickups. You can certainly obtain Jerry-like tones from one, but the unassisted sustain is what really counts. These instruments (Alembics in general, though I've only experienced my Further) are so superior to anything else I've played.

To echo Flax, you won't be disappointed.

I am constantly getting that sounds like Jerry's guitar comments on my Further. Once I even got a You bought the Wolf!.

You will not be disappointed with a Further.
