Narrative:
Was cleared to fly the gap 3 departure off runway 28R at sfo. This procedure was briefed on the ramp. I was to fly a 350 degree heading and to expect vectors on course. The 350 degree heading was input into the flight guidance controller and selected. The procedure was briefed again on taxi out. The first officer was flying from the left seat. After takeoff the PF followed the command bars in an erroneous turn to the left. It was brought to our attention by the tower and corrective action was immediately taken to return to a 350 degree heading. PF was lulled into a false sense of security by the flight guidance controller.
