What I think of Bobbe Seymour............
Heres a quick story... I original sent Bobbe a check for a steel guitar on his website, The first check I sent never made it there, so I sent another one with a tracking #. Just after I sent the second check my amp started to crap out, so I thought I really needed an amp more than a backup steel.So I called up Bobbie S and explained my situation and this guy was AWESOME......after putting a steel on hold for me, waiting for 2 checks to get there, and than having me call up and want to use the money for an amp ( I am a pain in the a$$ I know)he just said know problem,whatever you want to do. Here is the best part, I bought a Fender 65 custom 15, and he sold it to me for a couple hundred dollars less then guitar center or anyone else has it for. I dont know his price on Steel Kings but I would bet its cheaper than anyone,If any of you guys are looking for Fender amps, Bobbe should be the 1st and last guy you call.This is the 1st time I have had the pleasure of dealing with him, I will do all the shopping I can with him.Dan over there is great as well, super patient and very laid back. Really...these are a great group of friendly people.Thanks, Brian

I don't think he realizes that Merle Travis played a standard guitar and not a pedal steel. That don't stop ol' Bobbe though, he does that finger style stuff as good as any guitar finger picker I ever heard......JH

Aaaaand, he don't use no finger picks, says he can't afford em. Maybe we could all chip in and buy him a set.LOL It does cut down on pick noise tho."Steel Guitar Classics" CD is a keeper.

True story: Bobbe and I met in Dallas a few months ago. I was there to help him carry in the cases of his latest CD. He said the Big D boys had bought all of his latest albums at the wholesale, intending to make them an addition to their product line. Bobbe's only concern was, he didn't like the new name they were giving the album, "Your Suit Suits Me Fine." He walked out with a wad of cash and said, "Tom, let me buy you a drink." What a guy!
We both had been yearning for a Lone Star, so found this rat-infested bar to slam down a few. While sucking up the suds, watching tricks score and swatting flies, who walks in but this blonde with a rack on her that needed two wheelbarrows in front of her to keep from falling over. She hopped on the stool next to Bobbe. His eyes bulged, sweat beaded up on his forehead, he began to hyperventilate, and his tongue hit the spittoon next to the foot rail. It was an awesome sight, watching a man turn into Jell-O right before my very eyes. As usual, he remained speechless for all of a second. With spittle dripping from the corners of his mouth he turned to the gorgeous hunk of oozing sexuality and said:
"Wat-cha-up-to?"
She said: "Hi big guy. I just got out of prison for murder. I stabbed my husband 37 times."
Without taking a breath Bobbe said,
"Then you're single?"

I don't know the man in person but it must be one cool guy to deal with.According to all the positive posts I have read on the forum.
I hope I can make it to the States next year where I want to promote my steel guitar on one of the meetings.Might get lucky and meet THE MAN in person.

Let me tell ya,
I bought a PRO III from Bobbe over the phone a couple of months ago. I called him on Saturday morning. He was understaffed that day, and I could hear phones ringing off the wall in the background.Bobbe Seymour took his sweet time with me,and made sure I had all of the info I needed,
and went out of his way to make sure I would be happy with the deal. Not only did he give me a GREAT price on this steel,but when I got the bill,he didn't even charge me for shipping,PLUS included a bunch of free CDs and sets of strings ect.. So a couple of days later when I decided that I just HAD to have a Hilton volume pedal,there was no question where I was going to call! Ill say it again....I think this Bobbe Seymour fella just might have a future in this bussines!! Thanks Bobbe!

Brian, you are making it very hard for me to be mean and sarcastic! All these good things you said and that others are saying about me are forcing me to be a lot nicer guy than I was four years ago! I think I like this a lot better though.
Thanks guys for bringing better things out of me. Its fun being nice, and I appreciate "yall" very much.
I think the "Steel Guitar Community" is the greatest musical family of all the instruments in existence today. Bless you all.
Steel guitars forever!!!

One thing that has not been mentioned about this ole boy are the things that he freely gives away. His Knowledge and experience.
When a person is just starting to learn this monster we all love, nothing can be more valuable that the little tid bits offered by the great players.
Bobbe will help anyone and not be bashfull to tell them when they are screwing up or getting ready to make an error in purchasing or their learning.
Also he has aligned himself with some very fine people in his shop that bend over backwards to help you when you call or visit.
Other than the fact that in all my visits, I have never seen a blond in the place, Man I may have to edit that after some thought, be just like the fool to have a blond wig on next time I come in.

Bobbe is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.I had the pleasure of meeting him several years ago and i will never forget how well i was treated.He knew i was from Georgia and played "sweet georgia brown" Travis style,no finger picks,blew me away.He then ask me to play one but of course i declined.I made that trip just to meet Bobbe,i didnt need a steel or an amp but i did buy a T-shirt and would you beleive that he gave me two cd's and four sets of strings.
I later ordered an Elite seat from him at a very good price.The steel guitar community is truly blessed to have a man like Bobbe.If you are ever anywhere near his store and dont visit with him,you will have missed an expereince of a lifetime.
