Did I see what I saw Bobbe Do?

I just got done reading today's (Aug 9th) Newsletter from Bobbe Seymour in which he raves about the new GFI Expo and includes in the newletter links to his MySpace & Youtube sites which have videos of him playing the new Expo. (Sounds like a pretty good guitar! Price! Price!) BUT: What blew me away was the last note he plays on the video! He is playing on the front E9th neck and after he hits the last note he reaches over the bar with his right hand and it looks like he is turning the tuner for the 10th string on the C6th neck as the bottom note in the chord bends UP a whole step. But the bar and left hand are on the front E9th neck! I am like: What is he doing to the C6 tuner that makes a change on a note played on E9th??!! I replayed that last note 3-4 times looking and listening, and I am always seeing the same thing. True; 'net videos are not that easy to see the details, but it sure looks to me like he's turning the tuning peg for the C6th 10th string while the sound on the E9th neck bends. Then, I could see a little bit of his left leg and it looks like he's turning the C6th tuner while rocking his foot onto the "A" pedal pulling up the 10th string on the E9th neck. If that's what I am seeing, then Bobbe is one hell of a clown. (which we know him to be anyway!) Am I seeing what I think I am seeing? What do you guys see?

I think that was just Bobbe's ever-present showmanship. It's the 10-string on the E9 neck that you can hear being raised; however, it's the 10th string on the C6 neck that he reaches over and cranks on.

Yea, I saw Bobbe do that in his store one day while I was visiting. He has a great sense of humor.

I bet ole Bobbe is still in stitches over that one.

Don't ya-all wish you had thought of that?

Though he won't 'fess up to it, I believe Bobbe's sense of humor shined on me last month.

I had new pickups installed at his store. I picked the guitar up and the first time that I had set it up, I realized I attached the pedal rack to the back legs. He apparently put the guitar body backwards into the case. He He.

Sense of humor? Naw, I'm always as solom as a Judge, never funny.
That tuning key is connected to both necks, yep, has two strings connected to one key, and if you believe this, it proves I can sell poop to a cow!

Oh No, did I say that?

I was in Bobbes'showroom yesterday and asked him to show me how he did that. He did. Truly amazing!!
By the way, one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. It was a pleasure to meet and deal with Bobbe. Bought a Riddenberry from him.

Ok, so I mispelled Rittenberry. It is early here and still on my first cup of coffee.
