veatch Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I know i will regret this...Mr Greg took a cool Mirage I and converted it into an HSH for me. KIller guitar, i just don't give it much playing time, and i need to make room.The Good:One of a kind. There a number of other Mirages that have been modded, but i think this is the only HSH one out there. Gregwind pups, Gotoh trem, Sperzels, etc. Push/Push on the tone control for a coil tap. Middle pup activated with the mini. Blade 3-way. It has a wide bucker sound with the middle on and the bridge tapped that is heavenly...Here is a link to the original "Twas a Good Day..." post here:http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/38865-twas-a-good-day-for-veatchThe Bad:Nothing, really. Clean and mean. Did i mention i will regret selling this one? Edit to add - $1250 plus shipping and Ppal fees.
bubs_42 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 HA!! I already moved my money to my saving from the Splawn Sale. YOU ALMOST GOT ME YOU S.O.B.!!!
Boomerang~Junkie Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 I LOVE the Mirage I's. What an awesome looking guitar with very cool mods. The toy fund is still running a deficit right now and is already over-committed right now, but dang I might have to get in the "Dibs" line for this one! Very neat guitar.
veatch Posted May 27, 2015 Author Posted May 27, 2015 Sold and off to a new happy owner. I'll miss this one. The trem is near perfect...
primaltone Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 While I should, I don’t post a response to every guitar I purchase off HFC, but I have had nothing but awesome experiences with everyone I’ve dealt with. HFC is the best forum I belong to, period.I just received this awesome Mirage today, and first, it has to be one of the most well packed guitars ever. Triple boxed with plenty o’ bubble wrap and very well secured tremolo bar. Thanks veatch!!Secondly, Greg did work his magic. This thing is incredible. I wasn’t sure what to expect regarding the Koa since I’ve never played one before, but this guitar has sweet midrange that kicks a$$. I don’t know if it’s the wood, the pickups, or the combination? I only have two other Mahogany/Maple guitars that come close. The guitar is in perfect condition. It’s lightweight, very comfortable, the Mirage I body/neck contour is fantastic, and it plays very well. Sometimes I get a new guitar and it becomes my new favorite. It happened again.Very happy over here.
veatch Posted May 30, 2015 Author Posted May 30, 2015 Glad you like it. It is a killer guitar - i'm glad it made it to someone who will play it more than i was. Thanks for the kind words!
Caddie Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 I am soooo glad I didn't see this earlier. The last thing I need right now is another axe. Volute, blended heal, koa .....oh my gash! Enjoy!Cheers!caddie
Caddie Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Veatch?! What the hell were you thinking? I know, I know you're gonna ask me the same thing in the next few weeks.Cheers!caddie
