atquinn Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 This is a Mirage II Mapletop in Aztec Gold that has had a Fishman Powerbridge trem and powerchip installed professionally. Then I swapped that Fishman powerbridge with the old style Powerbridge (made by Mannmade USA; the guy who originally made the PRS trems). The trem is setup to lower pitch only. If a stereo cable is used, the electric and piezo signals are split, if a mono cable is used, the Powerchip allows you to independently control the piezo volume. The pickups are an SD Pearly Gates Neck and SD Custom bridge and the tone is a push/pull to split both pickups. The battery for the piezo is in the wiring cavity wrapped in foam so it doesn't move around during use. The guitar is in very good shape with very little fretwear and some indentations in the top, but nothing through the finish. Has a tad bit of finish lifting, but not much (all of it is pictured). Please take a look at all the pics at (I'll be taking pictures of the indentations tonight): http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v157/atq...75/Mirage%20II/ This is a kick-ass guitar, but my McInturff actually sounds better/more different from my 06 Studio with the original pickups (which I put back in because no true P90's I tried in it sounded as great as the original pickups it came with) and I never really take advantage of the Piezos, so... I'm looking for $925 shipped to the contiguous 48 (no trades). Thanks for looking. -Austin
marcus2 Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Wow. That's a cool guitar, and a great price.Good luck!Marc
Feynman Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Yeah, but it's got indentations! Indentations!!(bear in mind that Austin has superhuman ding finding abilities, and mortal humans would probably just say it's mint)
atquinn Posted December 9, 2008 Author Posted December 9, 2008 Anyway, I was only able to get one good pic of the biggest dents. There are some more, but they're all shallower like the top 2 in this pic. You basically have to have the guitar tilted correctly in the light to see them and they're all on the bottom half front of the body (where he picking hand is active), so they don't have any affect on the feel or playability of the guitar. -Austin
atquinn Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 Yeah. I figured someone out there might want to take advantage of an eBay/PayPal coupon. But it you want to buy it from me directly, I've lowered the price to $925 shipped. Baby needs a new pair of shoes! -Austin
BubbaVO Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 A set neck USA Hamer, with PRS trem, a piezo and nice pups for under 1K? Cool. Too bad I can't go for it, but someone else is going to get a good deal.
bubs_42 Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 That's a great top, but when you gettin rid of the ugly ass 2005 Studio?
atquinn Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 That's a great top, but when you getting rid of the ugly ass 2005 Studio? It might be going very soon actually... -Austin
