Title: PRS Mira
Post by: mikeluke on February 26, 2009, 07:04:32 PM: Twinfan - your mate in http://www.guitars4you.co.uk/ should be shot for inducing GAS - he has lovely maple-topped Mira on offer for £899...

Please - take it away from my eyes!!

Dave's not buying it back, so it looks like the ball's in your court, Mike! :wink:

Post by: Twinfan on February 26, 2009, 09:43:05 PM: Yep, I traded it in for my Modern Eagle, along with my all mahogany Mira, for two reasons:

1) I had to fund the Eagle somehow!
2) I didn't get on 100% with 24 fret necks

Post by: mikeluke on February 26, 2009, 09:55:25 PM: I wondered where that blue thing in your avatar came from......

PhillyQ - at the moment I am hatching a cunning plan to pick up either an Orville By Gibson Les Paul or SG.....

Mira is lovely but I reckon that I could get both for the same or less money - depends if the missus will carry a guitar back from Japan.....

I think you'll be doing well to get them both for under a grand, but.... pics when you've got 'em! :)

Post by: mikeluke on February 26, 2009, 10:41:32 PM: But if I told you that I was going to Japan in April would you think that I had a better chance??

Going rate on Yahoo Japan for ObGs - Les Paul is about £350-450 in good nick (not mint but not bad) - SG is around £250! - Yes, crazy isn't it!

Post by: Philly Q on February 26, 2009, 10:58:37 PM: That sounds good - and also suggests the Japanese dealers who sell on eBay are making a very tidy little profit!

If you could avoid the VAT and import duty you'd really make a killing.

Let's see how the buying process goes!

Title: Re: PRS Mira
Post by: Twinfan on February 27, 2009, 08:07:30 PM: Just to make it clear, I'd like to bet that I WON'T buy it again.......
Title: Re: PRS Mira
Post by: dave_mc on February 28, 2009, 09:01:07 PM: but then you just wouldn't buy it so you'd win the bet! :D
