Hey There

I believe this is a guitar built by the late Bobby Bowman, who was not only a great musician, but a great craftsman. He assembled and set up many, if not all, of Herb Remington's guitars while Herb was building them.

Bobby was my truest and most trusted friend in the world, a genuine brother to me. And his memory is a blessing.

Just sayin'...

Son, we live in a world with walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with steel guitars. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?

The Bowman Guitar

That is a treasure, and probably very rare, indeed. I don’t know how many of these Bobby built, but knowing him, I am sure it a well built guitar.

Not half enough good things said about Bobby on this thread, he was like a brother to most of us, he took me to the cattle Baron's Ball he was one of the things I loved about Texas......
Now if that guitar was this side of the pond....
