In the June issue of Acoustic Guitar p43 there is an interesting paragraph or two where Bob Weir references his playing a custom order archback F50 with an oversized peghead. He said he used it on the '69-'70 acoustic sets and that only three were made. One for him and two Dead roadies got the two others. He wanted an acoustic that had some projection and the archback was it. The article said the Dead were in tight with Guild and he said." So I said to Mark Dronge, why don't we do a flattop with an arched back?" He also mentioned that it is one of the most prized guitars in his collection.
