polara Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 That guitar is so many kinds of badass. But I have every guitar need filled now. This really should sell fast.
stedge Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 I have never owned one, but I have heard that TM’s guitars are made as well as a guitar can be made. GLWS.
Travis Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 I played one once years ago. I remember liking it quite a bit. Quality on par with some of Hamer’s finest. GLWTS
soli'd Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 I owned a glory custom from around this same era, it was an amazing playing instrument and the first time I had owned a guitar of that build quality. It was pretty blingy, (moreso than this one) with gold hardware and it felt a little like wearing a really nice suit that didn't fit quite right, so I moved it along. Used those funds for a goldtop DGT that I loved the looks but didn't like the way it sounded, sold it and bought my first Hamer. Everything has fit since.
tweed Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Doin' research on this brand, and saw a "Gear Collector" article where Terry McInturff says he was recruited by Hamer when he moved to Chicago for a while, building one-offs for Hamer endorsers. Anybody here know which ones he made ?

I'll ask him next time I'm in Siler City. If I remember the article correctly, the Mirage was designed by committee. They took an existing body shape from the Watson, slightly modified it, changed the pickup configuration and the bridge, etc. I want to say he had something to do with the koa top, but I could be remembering that all wrong... ETA, search revealed this thread from 2009....
