Caddie Posted July 28, 2006 Author Posted July 28, 2006 ok, I now have tendonitis from all this bumping.Seriously, I've received a lot of questions, oooo's and ah's, lots of "the Mirage is such a great guitar" , but (unless I missed one) no offers. What up guys? What, the summer is just a bad time to buy koa, its more of a Christmas wood? It doesn't go well with your complexion or skin coloring? Just plain old "no buyers at the moment". Or am I just a lousy salesman who cannot close an order?How are sales for you guys with stores?noonan
AdmiralB Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Did I not make you an offer?It's moot now, I've moved to other things, but you were going to get back to me after July 4. I didn't hear anything, I figured you weren't terribly motivated.
sw686blue Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 For me, this is the problem. I love the look of koa but I intensely dislike the shape of the Mirage. Coupled with a trem, it is a no-go. Now, if that were a Studio or Artist, we'd be having a totally different conversation. Just my useless 2 cents!

Good salespeople follow up on offers.My bad. Sorry AdmiralBnoonan
danhops Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 any trades? I may have asked already, but I forget.
Caddie Posted July 29, 2006 Author Posted July 29, 2006 The only piece I'd like to have at the moment is a Marshall Silver Jub 2554. Or as always, a '90s Studio with a wraparound bridge in anything other than '59 burst. An unusual color, like indigo or tobacco burst would be nice. Hint hint sw686blue. noonan
RobB Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 Or am I just a lousy salesman who cannot close an order? Naaaah, nahsomush...Mirages rank right below Eclipses as the redhaireddstepchildren of Hamerdom. When I seldomly have foolish notions of selling my koa II, I snaps right oudda it. It's no PRS, but it'll DO, Pig... Keep it and harbor NO illusions of whoring it out for the quick sale. Someone'll come knocking eventually, trust me... Edited to add: Sorry for stepping on your FS post. I'd buy that suckah in a heartbeat, but I'm well-represented in Mirages, thanks!

Well RobB I'm a Super Sized idiot (want fries wit dat?) cuz I am also the proud owner of an Eclipse. 2 red headed bastard step children in one collection. Maybe I should pick up a Gibson Nighthawk. Ooops, got one of those too! Apparently I am attracted to odd ball guitars. At a boy noonan.
Caddie Posted August 1, 2006 Author Posted August 1, 2006 just sittin here by the pond, trolling for mirage catfish
Zoner Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Well, I have a serious Koa shortage here but unfortunately sold my 2554 earlier in the year to buy an Artist Studio from sw686blue. Any interest in this as trade bait? Z
Caddie Posted August 17, 2006 Author Posted August 17, 2006 Super nice looking guitar ya have there zoner. I might consider a trade for my '96 Artist wraptail with a '59 Burst finish.And of course there's that lonely Mirage still out there lookin for luv.noonandannynoonan@prodigy.net
Zoner Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 I'm after the Koa, so let me know if you see that as a possibility. Z
Caddie Posted August 17, 2006 Author Posted August 17, 2006 Zoner, perhaps we should take this offline & discuss via private email & telephone.my email is dannynoonan@prodigy.net.Thanks.noonan
RacerX Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Hey gang, I just dropped off a guitar at CaddieLand and took that Koa Mirage off the wall for a closer look. The pix don't do this guitar justice. In the pix it looks maybe a shade darker than Aztec Gold (Hamer's vintage natural looking finish). In person this guitar is darker and richer, more like maple syrup poured over aztec gold. The figure in the top is very 3d and does nice flips and rolls as you move it. The Koa figure is also strong on the end (sides) giving a great "drivers view" while playing. This is a very pretty guitar, so if anyone is close to pulling the trigger from the pix posted here, just do it! You will flip when you open the case and see what the camera and the flash washed out.

Mark Come on boys & girls. You read what RacerX said. Lets get on with it. The kids are back in school & I have bills to pay for those new shoes, etc. Feel the luxury of fine koa. noonan
Travis Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Good, it's about time. That thing was tempting me for so long. Hope it goes to a good home.
Caddie Posted September 14, 2006 Author Posted September 14, 2006 SOLD!!!!I'm gonna miss ya. The ol' Wall of Guitars just won't be the same.
