This is the same one I referenced above.  It came around a couple of months ago at $26,000 as I recall.  One thing that puts me off a little is that this guitar was definitely NOT Garcia's and the seller knows it.  (Alembic has an old board with a list of the first several instruments.  #10 wasn't Jerry's).  The seller has previously been advised of that by members of this community.  He even acknowledged such to me.  But I guess the possibility of a Jerry connection sells.

I referenced it because I knew it was mentioned earlier in the thread and the price had been greatly reduced from the sellers original offering a while back on eBay and discussed at this thread.

according to the original work order board from those times (which we still have) #2 was made for Bob Weir, #3 was made for Jerry Garcia & so were #13 & #25. Garcia was also owner of #6 for a while then he damaged it and traded it in for a new one. Phil Lesh had #8, Mickey Hart #19. Stanley had #14 , Neil Young had #15 & John McVie had #27. Of course #1 was Casady's and so was #17.
