looks like Rick Danko has an F-50 and Bobby has a Guild (headstock) as well?

Ain't no more cane on the Brazos but there sure was something floating in the big community jug of Canadian Club...
One of my favorite scenes from this movie. Looks like such a good time! Will say though, they could have turned off the overhead fluorescents and fired up a few warmer lamps for some mellower lighting ;)

Well, I'm betting Jerry turned Bobby on to F50's, he'd been acquainted with 'em since about '63 already:

Eventually Bobby ordered up a couple with exotic headstocks, and I believe they were part of an ultra-rare run of about 6 with actual arched rosewood backs as well.
They've been reported here before:

But the report about there being 6 of 'em ("IIRC") was reported by another member who had one of 'em, in a different thread.

And I think Danko might actually be borrowing Jerry's F50, because otherwise I've only ever seen him with a sunburst one, and I think it came later:
