Wait, you have a Mirage with 24 frets?

The HX Stomp has balanced 1/4” outs, so you can run a TRS-to-XLR cable to FOH and a TS cable to your amp.

Interesting, although it looks like someone fooled around in the control cavity: https://www.ebay.com/itm/177534835629

You and Joe both lol.

There they are! Good times.

Easy to replicate if you can’t find one. Funny enough, the one in the pic looks off-center.

I'm a 9s guy, but Boomers are my go-to strings. I figure good enough for Gilmour, good enough for me.

Obviously not a Hamer, but for $1200 it could be a decent value.

Sorry you're going through that. A guitar I sold on Reverb in 2023 got misdelivered by USPS and accepted with a forged signature in Greensboro, NC, and I've been tracking its movements ever since. It first resurfaced and went unsold on FB Marketplace, then again on eBay, and finally sold on eBay last month. I've reported it to USPIS every step of the way with zero signs of action by them. It's depressing to say the least.

I dunno, I dig the design. Curious how it sounds.

Michael Britt offers some of the best Kemper profiles that I've used. In this vid he shows his process, which involves about 1 minute of the Kemper sending test signals into the amp and about 45 seconds of him playing random stuff to help refine the profile. Most of the time is spent dialing in the amp and setting up the mics and other outboard gear:

The pictures seemed like pretty clear proof to me. The grain lines, mineral streaks, nicks and scratches are exact matches, like matching fingerprints.

You think that's an ugly story, how about a $5 million Strad stolen from a Berlin bank vault after WW2, resurfacing in '95 and trading hands under bogus papers, ending up with a Japanese violinist who's now refusing to deal with the family who are the rightful owners: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/06/arts/music/the-hunt-for-a-316-year-old-stradivarius-stolen-in-the-fog-of-war.html?unlocked_article_code=1.XE8.CJFM.bbkAFp2JQzjB&smid=url-share

Nicely done!

It's an uncanny resemblance for sure, lol.

Too bad about the tuner swap, and the double-black PUs make me think either they were swapped in or covers were removed.

The Classic S that passed through here (from srvwannab) was impeccable.

Really weirds me out how much the Eclipse shape has grown on me over the years.

Certainly plausible since I did have one for a while….

Pulling for you, Jay! Those were some brutal MSPaints back in the day. I never did understand why things got so heated here sometimes, but oh well, we’re all old now.

Decent price and tempting, but I’m in reduction mode. GLWTS, and sorry to hear about the health issues.

Don't look at me, I'm not THAT greedy!

Vintage Orange, looks nice.

I remember BCR/Greg getting Hamer to do a run of "BCR Blue" Studio Customs. It was essentially the same color as the one in the OP, but with sparkles in the finish. All pics seem to be lost to the sands of time.
