So it begs the question, if Top Hat wasn't at the show, and Trey doesn't have it. Why was it pulled from the Rock and Roll Museum? I was under the impression that the Dead owned all of Jer's guitars in his possession when he died.

I don't exactly know who owns what, but Jerry's will specified that the guitars go back to their makers upon his death. Irwin auctioned off Tiger and Wolf. I don't know about any of the others.

There was plenty of press about all this, due to the court battles and to the high prices the guitars fetched.

Unsustantiated rumers that Tiger glowed and levitated during Stella Blue. :-)

Yeah I should have proof-read. I know Wolf, Tiger, and the Beans are all privately held. and that wolf and Tiger went back to Doug. But I thought that settlement was that the Dead kept the others. Hence why they're at the Rock and Roll HOF.
