Hey Bobbe, I was watching those thumb style videos on YouTube of you with your old Bigsby and had a couple of questions. First off, that was some great picking to say the least! As for your Bigsby, I assume the inside neck is C6th and the middle neck seems to be E9 from the intro on one video but I noticed that the outside neck was an 8 string while the other two were 10 string necks. What tuning do you have on the outside neck and does it have pedals hooked to it. Also I spotted what looks to be a lever of some sort coming out of the side of the changer on the front neck. What's that for. Thanks and keep up the great stuff.........Jerry in Va.

Jerry Hayes, I could never be mad at you, I'm just not finding enough time to check this forum as often as I used to.
Thank you for the questions, yes, the inside neck is a standard C6th, one hidden knee lever that lowers the third string, it was already on the guitar but not hooked up when I got it. The middle neck is a three pedal E9th, no knees. The far neck is an 8 string with a "Herbert H. Hise" changer on it.
It is a '60 Bigsby almost all stock, not modified at all except for installing standard tunings. Excellent condition. The original owner was Bob Crook, friend of Paul Bigsby and founder of the Standel company.
I love the guitar, the dream of my life. It almost plays it's self with no problems.
Anyone else wanting to see and here this monster, go to www.youtube.com and type in Bobbe Seymour in the search box.
Thank you Jerry, and Lee B., can't tell you it's a secret, Ha! (just kidding)
