JJ Paul Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 So Colin's Mirage II is finally in (safe, unbroken, thank God) I must say that even with the old string it sounds killer! I love the response of the Seth Lover puppies and the way the guitar "honks" when the tone is rolled down... With the Fulldrive in my Twin I was getting some very convincing early-VH tones. Wow. One can really feel it was played with love & passion. Off to restring it with some Snake Oils and to adjust the trem a little bit. This 'un is a KEEPER! ;) JJ
MrGuitarguy Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 No problem. That guitar is among he best I've ever owned. Glad it's being loved by the new owner. It's a tone monster!!!
hardheartedbill Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 I'm a Mirage supporter from way back, the old canoe paddle is one of the best offering ever from Hamer IMO, tap those pickups and you can play ANY gig w/ it
MCChris Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 I craved that guitar when Big Cookie first sold it here. Great purchase on your part.
hamersandstrats Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 I agree with HHB. IMO, the Mirage II is the best sounding humbucker guitar Hamer has made. Don't ask me why, it just is.
GuitarDoyle Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 It sounds unreal but I always thought the Mirage left something to be desired when it came to playability.
JJ Paul Posted October 15, 2005 Author Posted October 15, 2005 It sounds unreal but I always thought the Mirage left something to be desired when it came to playability. I don't know what it can be, really. This one really shines. If it's just pure luck on my part then, by all means, I deserve it but I don't think so. As far as tone factor, it has just finished kicking my korina Standard in the face. It wasn't pretty... JJ

hardheartedbill Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 GD, all the Mirage I've owned play like a dream, maybe the longer scale threw ya off
