Wichita Sam Moving Sale price cutting/gotta move things out

I'll be retiring soon and moving. This means downsizing, so I will start selling off old and new CBGs and other guitar related items. One of the things I'm doing with all my CBGs is ship them in a custom foam shipping container that can be the bones of a custom carrying case. In the slide show below, I show a foam shipping container that I transform into a carrying case with spray glue and cloth and duct tape.

Time to sell them, if only to get them out from under foot... At these prices, they are great wall hangers or even could be bought for their parts. Never can tell... early Wichita Sam's might become collectors as part of CBG History...... thumbnail pics for moving sale CBGs, more to come. All prices include shipping to the continental US. If interested, click on the pic and you will go to my photobucket account with more closeup of all the CBGs. If you have questions, email me... I can do more pics or post a youtube so you can hear the CBG.

Last Chance! Any CBG bought and paid for overnight (April 29th) can still be shipped Saturday April 30. After that, nothing will ship for 3 weeks as I recover from surgery. Thanks for the great response... More to come about Wichita Sam Custom CBGs in late May....

Heirloom electric/reso vintage box, spun cone, humbucker/peizo/3way switch... $ 195 Sold!!! Thanks

License Plate reso, tele style pup.... rocks... $ 95 SOLD! thanks!!!!

WS # 182 1 string dulci-strummer... reso, piezo, vintage tuner key stems for bridge and nut, hook scroll headstock .... sold!!! Thanks...

WS #31 Square neck fretless, piezo, three string slide steel... get a piece of history.... $ 55

# no #, three string fretted dulci-strummer, 20" scale, acoustic, oak neck mahogany fretboard, bright sound... loud for such a small size... $ 40

# 144 Vintage Box, built for museum exhibit with (mostly) hand tools, fretless, acoustic, very interesting. good sound, total discussion piece .. $ 75

Please don't expect to buy custom Wichita Sam CBGs at these prices.... I will only build 20 custom, signed and numbered Wichta Sam CBGs per year in the future. If you want a CBG that reflects the experience of over 275 builds (well over 400 if you count workshops and kits), please contact me and we will discuss your requirements.

thanks,

Wichita Sam

Sam put me down for the paint lid reso I just need to know where to have the missus send the money. You can contact me at my g mail address to let me know what you need. I am in trasit right now between afghanistan and the long march of the demobilization process so I will maybe need a day or so to see the email but I definately want that banjo. You are the best my friend. Hope your feeling positive and well in your struggles right now. I pray for you.

Matt,

The paint lid banjo is yours... paypal me at wichitasam@yahoo.com works the best.... just make sure that you have a good current "ship to" address attached to your paypal account. I've had to resend CBGs three times in the past 2 years because someone hadn't updated their paypal info...

I'm doing fine. 10 day countdown to my surgery... no worries... just want to get it over and get busy with recovery...

Travel safe my friend,

thanks for all you have done for the rest of us,

Wichita Sam

John,

I'm have prostate removed on May 2. After a slightly elevated PSA, they found a few cancer cells in a biopsy. Caught it very early and Dr. says very high 97%+ chance of cure.... I will gladly receive any and all prayers.

thanks,

Sam

Hi Sam.

The very best for the surgery. What comes through in all your messages that I have read here is a great attitude and I am sure that will do much to help you sail through. I'm sure everyone here will be with you on that day.

Best wishes.

John
