Bobbe Seymour's Guitar Collection ??????

Ron Whitworth · Post by **Ron Whitworth** » 15 Mar 2016 10:31 am

Hello All;
I was just wondering if anyone here knows what ever happened to Bobbe Seymour's big collection of steel guitars that he had?

I do not know how many he had but it has been said to be quite a few.
The last I had heard after he passed away that everything was tied up in court.

Just curious - has the guitars been sold off?
Thanks for anny answers you can provide.
Ron

I heard that his last girlfriend took control of the estate and what happened to the instruments, vehicles, et al. is history.

There's a price to pay for kept maidens.....

According to reliable sources Bobby's care giver (not a girlfriend) contested the will and his estate is tied up in court. I imagine that includes instruments. Slightly different but very similar to Herb's understanding but close, very close.

Thank You Herb & Bill.
I thought that it would be done by now & thru the court system..

I knew it was balled up into a big mess.

That is sad.
We all know she does not want or need the instruments.

Thanks to you both. I appreciate your answers.
Thanks .. Ron

Well although I do not recall her name, I met her a few times, even went to lunch with them one time. Bobbe appeared to have great care for her. Is it entirely possible that he wanted her to have his possessions ?

I dunno.

But I have seen families argue for years over estates even with Wills ! Then never speak to each other ever again after the estate was finally settled . All over one house worth $125,000. Don't ask how I know this

Bobbe didn't have much luck in love, all of his women I met were gold diggers, there may be an exemption, but I must have never met that one...

I believe Wanda was the only one that wasn't. And that didn't work out for... other reasons.

I always wondered where Bobbe got "all that gold",,,to dig,,,,can't imagine making it in the steel guitar business,,,playing,,,selling,,,or building????

Wasn't he also a producer?
That's where the money is.

From what I understand, Bobbe was a jack of all trades. At one time he was a studio owner as well. I believe Bobbe had multiple income streams. Could be that unlike most musicians, he might have been a decent financial manager

! Until the court records are available, it's all just speculation.
