Still Here!

Hi folks,

I just wanted to let you know we’re still here. We had a great time at the Night Market this year. Thanks to everyone for all your support. This holiday season will be a little different for us though. We won’t be showing at any holiday markets. We just won’t have time. But I will have time to sell through the online store or if you give me  a call.  We can arrange a private showing at my office as well. Wishing you alllthe best and please reach out. We want to get a guitar or uke in everyone’s hands.

OK, one more thing check out my Youtube channel. I’m trying to get some videos up to show how awesome these things play.

 

Night Market

We’ve been having a great Night Market Season out at Turner Park. We’ve got two markets left in August and September. But don’t wait. Check out my Square Market Online Store. You don’t have to order through the store if you are in Omaha. Just call or email and we can set up a time to meet for purchase and delivery. Let’s get a guitar or uke in your hands today!

Get Ready! Here we come!

Well folks, you may have been looking for us at Aksarben Village. Due to the fact that I need to spend more time working and marketing my new company, I have to reduce the time I spend selling guitars at market.

With that being said we are not going away completely, but are reducing our appearances. I’m excited to anounce that we will be full time vendors at the new Night Market at Midtown. For more on that click HERE.

In short the Night Market runs the last Friday of each month May through September. There will be many craft and food vendors plus music. Come on out to see us this year! And don’t forget a new guitar or uke for yourself or a loved one.

Time IS Running Out

OK, it’s a cheesy saying, but this year it’s true. I haven’t seen this kind of excitement before. I’ve had a few after sales since the holiday show. But I still have some instruments left. If you are interested in taking another look, check out my website, see what’s left and give me a holler!

Pics Updated

First of all thanks to all of you who supported us at the Physicians Mutual/WOWT 6 Holiday Show. I hope the Cigar Box Guitar or Uke you purchased brings great joy!

Now as I promised I have updated the website and online store with the stock that is left. Please take a look and make your selections soon. Once their gone, their gone and I won’t start building again until late January.

If you do wish to make a purchase I can meet you at a public place or you can stop by my office since I don’t have a brick & mortar store.

I look forward to hearing from you and helping you make the right choice of the Uke or Cigar Box Guitar. Just email or call

Enjoy the rest of your year and Lord willing I’ll be back in the Farmers Market in the Spring 2018!

A Quick Note About the Online Store

For those who grabbed cards and are thinking of purchasing a Cigar Box Guitar or Uke. The online store and website are not updated as to current stock. I will update by Tuesday at the latest. I don’t want to sell these at market and then have the same thing sold online. Somebody would get upset and I don’t want that to happen.  The best opportunity you have is to come back to the market today.

If you have any questions please email or call. I would love to help you get what you are looking for. Thanks for stopping by.

2017 Holiday Market/Free Entry/Free Parking

Well, it was a great season at the Omaha Farmer’s Market at Aksarben Village. Thank you so much to everyone for their amazing support this year! It was the best decision my wife and I made to be out there all season. We’ll miss everyone till next year.

But wait, there is one more opportunity to catch us in person this year. Wilderness Guitar will be at the Physicians Mutual/WOWT6 Holiday Market December 2-3, 2017 from 10 am -5 pm at Aksarben Village. This our fourth year and we hope to see you once again. Entry is free and parking is free.

If you can’t wait for the holiday market, please contact me. I’m happy to help.

 

Wilderness Guitars in the News

Channel 6 News was in the market today. They stopped by the tent or a short interview. Most of it ended up on the cutting room floor, but they saved a quick comment on the weather. LOL, well not so much relevant to playing music. But I’ll take the 10 seconds of exposure. Thanks Channel 6! You can see the whole story on the market and the weather HERE

Well stay tuned. I’m finishing up new guitars and ukes to resupply your needs. I’ll see you Sunday!

Always Something New

Each year I try to bring something new. This year I have a couple things you need to see. One of them are the gig bags for the guitars and the ukes. Great for carrying your instruments and keeping the dust off of them. I should have versions with the WG name and logo soon.

Next up are the one string instruments. They are uke sized, one string, diatonic scale and lots of fun and priced at $30.00. Why don’t I have pictures? Because you have to come to the Omaha Farmer’s Market at Askarben Village every Sunday through October 15.

If you want to learn how to build your very own cigar box ukulele sign up for the class. The class starts June 10. Don’t miss out!
