Latest Incredible Bobbe Seymour Mystery!!!!!

Bobbe Seymour · Post by **Bobbe Seymour** » 25 Sep 2004 10:00 am

Most "name" steel guitar players change guitars so fast and often that no guitar they have "gets much glory". I know a well known steel player in Nashville that has had many steel guitars this year, and changed brands four times. This is fine, but I can't see where name players that go through several guitars yearly could see an increase in the value of every guitar they owned, just because it got to there house, and was played somewhat. Now, a guitar like Lloyd Green's Sho-Bud S-10 is a different deal. This guitar was exclusivly used on hundreds of smash hits, for many years. The guitar he had before was the same story. These guitars have accumulated a high degree of following and value, in my opinion. But the guitars of most players in Nashville don't achieve this degree of value because they aren't owned long enough to aquire this type of heritage.

I might add that I did offer $35.000.00 (thirty five thousand)for the original "Bud Iaasic" Bigsby, but the owner wouldn't even start to accept.

I agree with Bobbe that if a "star" steelplayer hasn't done anything all that historic with a particular steel, its' market value shouldn't be considered much (if any) higher than anyone elses...in my last post I was mainly talking about personal value, not monetary...any steel that had belonged to a player such as BE or Lloyd Green (and others) would have a higher value to a fan, than another steel, even though not necessarily worth any more in dollars.

You only offered $35,000? Geez Bobbe, don't insult the people!

But.....would that Bud Isaacs steel be worth that much if it weren't his? Noooooo. There ya go.[This message was edited by Jim Phelps on 25 September 2004 at 11:29 AM.]

"I did offer $35.000.00". Steel guitars have meaning, money is only potential. The thing about money is, just about everyone you see has some, so there's nothing exclusive about it. Some people have lots of it and it seems that, for most of them, no matter how much they've got, they can't get enough. If you have a steel guitar that's not for sale, then it has more value than money.

"The Blade" is another guitar that has been used on countless hits and recordings, and still being used today. I think that would make it just that much more valuable. When Buddy plays The Blade there is a magic that is achieved by only that combination.

I'm proud of My BMI D10 8X8 that Tommy White purchased from Zayne Beck in 1976, and very proud that Zane Beck made it. So is it worth more money because Tommy owned it, maybe not,,
but its a honey of a steel. I didn't know who owned it when I purchased it.
No I didn't buy it from Bobbe, but I have visited him in his shop and was treated very kindly.

Don Helms was once asked by a collector if he would accept a six figure offer for his Gibson. You know, the one he played with Hank Williams? Don replied, "That depends on which six figures."

Historical instruments have great market value. That's a fact.

Bobbe, I think I am going to offer Sarah Jory $10 000 for her new Walker Pac-a-Seat.

Unless you are going to offer more!

How old am I? Asks Robert Martin, Well I was born in 1894,(right across the hall from 1893)in Dallas TX.. At the corner of Elm and Ervay St.
My mother was waiting for a bus. It was a long wait because busses hadn't been invented yet in Dallas. I was 14 before the bus finally showed up. Charlie Norris was driving. How old am I? My social sec. number is "3". I did the demo session on "Star Spangled Banner", and the master on "Red River Valley". We used to call Bob Wills, "little Bobby". How old am I? Well, I don't buy green bannanas. Gee, I sure do have a lot of fun though. However, after Indian Larry's demise, I don't stand on the cycle seat at 60 MPH anymore, or fly upside down under the Shelby street bridge in Nashville. The fines are to heavy, like me!
