I think it's the peanut guitar. There are other photos of it in here somewhere.
I notice you're in Athens. If you're not busy on the 18th go to the Georgia Theatre and check out Mama's Cookin'. I caught their gig here in Jacksonville last night. They are definitely worth listening to.

It's a peanut guitar made by Alembic. These were prototypes using a generic body style to test other features. Check out http://alembicguitars.net/club/messages/395/11103.html (http://alembicguitars.net/club/messages/395/11103.html%20target=_top) for more info and Susan's take on Alembic's role in Garcia's guitars. These two also chronical the axes Gerry played (the picture you posted is in the second link). http://www.nii.net/~obie1/deadcd/garcia_guitars.htm (http://www.nii.net/~obie1/deadcd/garcia_guitars.htm) and http://dozin.com/jers/guitar/history.htm
