I have this book, Grateful Dead 365, which is full of pictures of the band from the 65-95. It shows a lot of the guitars, rigs, etc. Interesting to look through.
But it jogged my memory about the Ibanez Cowboy guitars; the Cowboy "Fancy" that they did the reissue on, looks like Bobby was playing it in early 79, but photos from the fall of 79 show him with a Cowboy that lacks the big inlay across the lower body of the guitar. It also has a really beautiful quilt to it. By 82, the Cowboy Fancy was back.
Were there any differences to those guitars aside from the inlay? I ask because late 79-80 were my favorite years for Weir's tone.
