IPlayLoud Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 There's a No-Heal 94 Hamer Miage I, on E-Bay. Auction is good till Feb 02. Looks to be in very good cond w/ohsc. There's a reserve price set, so I don't know what it is, or if its ridiculous. Last Bid is $710. I assume the guitar will go for around $850.As I said it looks great with a LOT of good photo's. There's a Mini Toggle added, so it not 100% Original. Which is too-bad someone did that. But its a small issue.
Travis Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Actually, the mini toggle is stock. It's bypass switch that toggles between the 5 way switch controls and the bridge pickup full blast with no tone or volume control. The only thing not stock about the guitar is the Hot Rails in the middle position. Here's the link for those of you who are too lazy to look it up.http://cgi.ebay.com/Hamer-Mirage-1994-Spec...1QQcmdZViewItemThese are great guitars. I love mine. But my only complaint is the volume difference between the Vintage Rails and the Hot Rails. I put a Cool Rails in the neck slot of mine to have a little more variety.

The one for auction has an additional mini-switch. Not a big deal IMO, but I love miniswitches, push-pull pots and crap like that, so I'm biased . -Austin
seeker Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Nice specimen, mmmmm.Actually, the mini toggle is stock. It's bypass switch that toggles between the 5 way switch controls and the bridge pickup full blast with no tone or volume control. I think they called it a "blow" switch, cause it blows everything out.And no, to my knowledge, they never had a "suck" switch. That's for soundmen.
bubs_42 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 The Koa mirage was the guitar that got me into hamers, I use to play one at guitars center every weekend for about 2 months until they sold it. And I still don't own one?
Travis Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Um, I don't see the additional mini switch on the guitar in the auction. It looks identical to mine. By the way, the Mirage was my first Hamer as well. I bought mine new in 94. Killer axe.

I thought I saw an extra miniswitch in one of the pics, but I can't get to eBay from work, so I can't verify that. I thought it was near the 5-way, but maybe not. -Austin
tomteriffic Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Nope, not there, Austin. Musta been a hallu-hallu-hallu-cina-cina-cina-tion-tion-tion...... Had a Mirage 1 and foolishly let it go. I'm watching this one.
mrhappy Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Looks like a nice one. I was just playing mine this morning. Hey Austin ... did you ever sell the one with the P-90s??
atquinn Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Looks like a nice one. I was just playing mine this morning. Hey Austin ... did you ever sell the one with the P-90s?? I sold it a while back. My PRS CU22 Soapy is serving in its place nicely. -Austin
HamStd Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 If you ask me, I think the bridge is wrong on that one, at least compared to mine!!! Although this could just be another one of those damn Hamer Factory seconds,jesus, they didn't even put a clear coat on it (God bless you Jol and Frank), ... I heard from the previous owner though that "Jeremy had spoken in class today" about this one and that he thought it was a "Ten". Mirages are great guitars!!!! Peter
