Cboss Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 Beautiful! What would be the weight on the mirage 1? Are those pickups stock?

Newbs contact me (and should have stayed in Jersey) just because a lil' wiggler slithers into their courtyard. First rattlesnake this season (yesterday; 9 rattle segments; big-un; fat with packrat brunch; current 8 year total at my hacienda: 37) delivered to an alternate reality. Mirage l: 8.8; Mirage ll: 8.4. Unfortunately, seller appears un-savvy with the term neck carve.

soli'd Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 That Mirage (I) has the coolest looking koa top I think I've ever seen. I've always wanted a II because of the 2xHB layout, but I love the blended heel of the Mirage I.
Dutchman Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 I gigged my Mirage 1 as long as my back could take it! 2lbs lighter and it would have been the perfect Strat for me!! Super comfortable neck. I regret selling it
HamerCustomEr Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 I saw the Mirage II yesterday morning, and I would have bought it instantly except for the fact that the seller said that he would ship to the lower 48 only, and I am up in Canada. I thought about asking somebody here on this forum to buy it for me, ship it to me, and earn $100 for their trouble, but I knew that this guitar wouldn't last at that price anyway. Congratulations to whomever snagged it!

I noticed the new seller downgraded the condition from Very Good to Good, but I don't mind. It might be based on the neck Hameritis, for all I know, which I could not care less about. No repairs, no cracks, that is good enough for me! It even has the OHSC!
VincentYGB Posted May 12, 2023 Author Posted May 12, 2023 Congratulations, although I feel it looked better at the lower price it probably sounds better at the new higher one.

Full tone report when it arrives. Of course, I have opinions on these guitars and what makes them great. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
