I was wondering when some of this stuff was gonna start showing up.

There's Bobbe's Bigsby volume pedal for sale also.

It makes perfect sense that this stuff is coming around but the idea of a zero feedback seller coming along with minimal pictures, no back story or description, no provenance (even if we can guess at it), just laying it out there like here you are, idiots....

Nah.

At these prices they can keep on showing up and out.

Obviously the ad is set to appear like Michele Overstreet from Steel Guitars of Nashville is selling it. Just going by the sellers name and the location being Hendersonville. One phone call might answer a lot of questions about that ad.

I was wandering why they think it's worth $10,000.

John Brabant · Post by **John Brabant** » 4 Sep 2016 5:04 pm

Worth $4500 on a good day.

If that's what you think, make an offer.

No interest by me Bob. Want a nice Emmons, buy it on the Forum!

I suspect 10K is a first offering feeler. Lets not forget that this is an early P Pull, Bobbe owned it for over 30 years and it was indeed his primary guitar.

It's a 1971 guitar, if anyone is interested.

I've played this guitar several times. A little clunky but the tone is superb.

'55 or '56 is an early Emmons not a '71.

Ken Byng · Post by **Ken Byng** » 6 Sep 2016 8:26 am

The big question is this - "Is Bobbe's provinence worth paying an additional $5.5K over the basic value"?

Also - those people who left guitars with Bobbe on consignment may have got their guitars back by now. If not they will be following eBay very closely from now on if the person selling his guitar is starting to put his (Bobbe's) property up for sale.

This is a bargain compared to the $25,000 1964 push pull on Steel Guitar Nashville's website...

Prices have got out of hand, including Franklin's (which I have one).

That'd be an EXTREMELY early model Emmons steel, Erv. I think they called 'em Sho~Bud's around that time frame didn't they? lol

Lem,
Sorry about that, I meant '65 or '66.

Chris Lucker · Post by **Chris Lucker** » 6 Sep 2016 2:55 pm

It has been my experience, as a collector of Emmons and Bigsby guitars, that a guitar known to have passed through Bobbe's hands loses value. It was the same with Shelbys and Shelby Mustangs as well.

I know I avoided any guitar that Bobbe had.

Just an observation based on my experience with guitars and my friendship with Carroll Shelby.

I have been asked about this particular guitar's price tag but have no comment as I am not interested in buying it.

Bill Lowe · Post by **Bill Lowe** » 6 Sep 2016 4:30 pm

Erv, just curious. What makes you think it is a 65 and not a 71?

Damir Besic · Post by **Damir Besic** » 6 Sep 2016 5:14 pm

that is a awesome playing and sounding guitar, and if I had money I would buy it, another thing is you can send in an offer, so 10K is not set in stone... and as far as Bobbe goes, I would suggest little less trash talk, and little more respect for the man...thank you

I'll have to agree with you on that one Damir!!
