FROM KINGFISH:

Hey there…

Since I had to cancel my “Fish Grease 2” tour in mid-March and officially step back from performing live and in person in 2020, there has been so much change in our world. As I’ve said before, we are truly dealing with some “Hard Times,” and I’m very grateful for my health and quite appreciative of my successes.

But, there are others who are going through a really tough moment — particularly some African American small business owners facing difficulties tied to not only the COVID-19 pandemic, but also systemic racial and financial inequities. In my small way I’d like to try to lend my support to help these impacted local Clarksdale and Mississippi residents during this time of need.

So, here is my idea:

To raise funds for a local organization I’m close with, I’m selling my original “Vanilla,” Strat. I received this Strat in 2018, where I played it in local Clarksdale shows. Tied to my endorsement relationship with Fender, I eventually upgraded my “Vanilla” to their Vintera model. You may have seen this Vintera Strat in my Guitar Center commercials or on posters/standees in Guitar Center stores.

Nonetheless, I’m aiming to sell my original “Vanilla” to help raise money for Higher Purpose Co., a 501c3 economic justice nonprofit established in 2016 based in Clarksdale, Mississippi.

For the Strat winner, I will happily write a special, personalized message on the back of the guitar, I will autograph the front plate and I will take and email a photo of me holding the guitar. I will then insure and ship the guitar to you anywhere in the world.

So, if you have interest, the financial means and if you are so inclined, I’ve made the guitar available for a “Buy It Now” price where 50% of the total will go to Higher Purpose Co.

Thanks much for the consideration and continued support. I hope that we can raise some money for an organization that is doing some really good work not only in my hometown of Clarksdale, but throughout the state of Mississippi.

** Please note that 50% of final purchase price will be tax deductible. Documentation will be received with Guitar shipment. **

Much love. Be good one another.
