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://alembic.com/club/messages/395/11103.html (http://alembic.com/club/messages/395/11103.html target=_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
