Hello everyone, Im not sure if i should be here but i saw the "and returned" part. So, i was in service until Novenber 2011 when the Army tossed me out on a medical retirement from injuries sustained during OEF 10-11. I'm unable to work due to the injuries, at home 90% of the time. im on limited income and have been looking for an instrument within my financial means for quite a while now, which is hard to find because well, lets face it, i barely get by most months. It makes me feel strange even typing this, as if people will say im grifting of trying to get one over. If someone was willing to help me i would gladly pay what i could. Well, thats that. Have a great morning/evening which ever the case may be.

Hi Joe,

Welcome to the Nation, we are glad to have you home, even if you wound up a bit "fractured".

I am sure we can fix you up with something. Stay tuned...

Thanks for the welcome Dan!

Joe,

what do you want?  I could round up a good playable 3 or 4 string fretted cbg with a piezo pup right away.

If that suits, email me your address at wichitasam@yahoo.com

You will owe me a song someday.  Fair?

wishing you the best,

Sam

Sam, i would be more than happy to play for you. Matter of fact once i got used to how it played, i'll upload a vid

Thank You Wichita Sam

You are most welcome.  You now have a Wichita Sam original.  I'm looking forward to it making music again (in your hands).
