Bobbe posted this not too long ago on some recent Bigsby thread. I belive they were all versions of C6th. One with an F on the 8th ( bass) one with a low G ...and the 3rd neck was C6th with the high G...which he said he did not use very often. This is all off the top of my head...so I would try searching the archives for the past 3 months under Bigsby or Bobbe Seymour.

The last time I stopped at Bobbe's store/shop that's just about what I observed, except that none of the necks had the high (G) that I can recall! Just a few variations on some of the bass-strings.
