Caddie Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Blended neck heel ? (like on a Watson)orStandard neck heel ? (like on a Studio)noonan
FrankieII Posted March 28, 2006 Author Posted March 28, 2006 Yep, has the sculpted heel.This one has the most beautifully streaked (dark/light) koa I've ever seen on a Mirage and I'ved owned and seen many.If someone can host the pics for me I'll send them to you. I appreciate it.Thanks,Frank
copper blue Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I think someone stated that the Mirage shares the body style with the Watson??
kizanski Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I think someone stated that the Mirage shares the body style with the Watson?? Yea, that was Serial.These are awesome guitars!
silentman Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I think someone stated that the Mirage shares the body style with the Watson?? It's pretty close. The horns are a bit sexier on the watson. I does share some features like the heel blend and the belly cut.
Michael_ Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 I never knew Mirages had a blended heel like that, very nice!
Guest galejt Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 how much for the cat??? Randy Damn! Beat me to it.
flattop Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Do these Mirage guitars sound as good as the Sunburst/ Studios for sustain etc.Also ive noticed one of them (Mirage 2) has a stronger looking heel joint any reason why? do the Mirage 1 break at the heel?
Travis Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 The Mirage I sounds great, but not the same as a Suburst/Studio. The Mirage sounds more like a true cross between a Strat and a Les Paul, pretty much a perfect balance of the two. Sustain is great, but they're a little brighter and snappier than the Sunbursts/Studios. The neck joint is plenty strong. It's a set neck like the Mirage II and other Hamers, just with a blended heel that looks and feels a lot smoother/cleaner.
atquinn Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Do these Mirage guitars sound as good as the Sunburst/ Studios for sustain etc.Also ive noticed one of them (Mirage 2) has a stronger looking heel joint any reason why? do the Mirage 1 break at the heel? I don't know for sure, but I imagine the heel joint was changed to save money/time. They probably figured changing it wouldn't make anyone NOT buy the guitar and it would save them some money, so they did.-Austin
