This guitar was purchased from a man here in nashville who bought out one of Bobbe Seymour's storage lockers. He had several other of Bobbe's steels for sale. I think a few have been posted on here. Anyhow, I posted it a few weeks ago on here to see if i could find any info on it. The body appears to have been refinished at some point and rubber feet were added to the bottom. I believe everything else is all original. It does not come with the original case, but a generic case is included. I'm asking $1000 plus shipping. Please PM if you are interested. thanks!

You can buy the flanges and legs from Gary Sill but they will not be the original kind.
The original flanges were routed into the body. I put legs on an orphan Stringmaster body and located three legs and routed them into the body. |

As far as legs go, you can fabricate an adapter and use pedal steel guitar legs. If I'm not mistaken, the threads on the old Fender legs were 1/2" diameter, 13 threads per inch. I took a 1/2" bolt and drilled out the center the right size and threaded it to fit the pedal steel guitar legs. And then cut the bolt to proper length.
You might even be able to buy a bushing that will work. |

I'm not sure how often Jeff checks in on the forum but I believe the guitar had sold. |
