I love the look of those Mira's Phil, really stunning. One in that colour, alongside your green SG-X would make an amazing looking duo.


I'm currently gasing for a Tele. Probably Fender Lite Ash or an old MIJ Fender if I can find a decent one.

Hmmm, not a bad thought Sam, a dynamic duo of a metallic mint Mira and my army green SG-X...  I do like the transparent orange as well though, and as Fernando says black would look cool.

Still, this is just fantasising.  I need to sell a couple of other guitars to justify that kind of spending.

The PRS site only have the black with black pickguard, which looks not so nice...  black with pearloid pickguard would be the nice one!

I'd quite like black with a black pearl pickguard.  And I might replace the 3-way switch/mini-switch with a 5-way super-switch.

(Haven't got the thing yet, and already I'm mentally taking it to bits...  :roll:  :lol: )

i want a single pickup Flying V '58. and that pickup should be a VH2 or Rebel Yell. Black pickguard, custom wiring.

Nice! :D  

Do you reckon VHIIs would be good in a V, gwEm?  I've never made a decsion on what BKPs to put in my sunburst Edwards (should I ever get round to it...).

I've got great gear at the moment, but all I want to complete it is a Fender Hot rod '62 in olympic white. The only other thing is a Hughes & Kettner Rotosphere

Very unusual looking amp!  

Weird that it's got that graphic, which I thought was the Mourning Widows logo.

Well, I never even tried VH2s, but Jonathan Feline reckons they sound great in a Korina V - which is enough of an endorsement for me as i'm listening to alot of van halen at the moment and quite like his tone these days. Equally Tim suggested me Rebel Yells to go in my next V.

I would put double creme cold sweats or miracle men in your sunburst V though ;)

-Carvin V220. Haven't decided if I'll buy a new one, or an 80s one off ebay and restore it. There are pros and cons of both.
-Carvin CS3 in sunsetburst.
-BKPs for those guitars (ouch)
-a 1x12 tube combo of some kind.
-decent delay pedal
Crawlers, Mule-7s

My particular GAS goes like this.

Fender Hot Rod Deluxe 112 amp.

BKP Irish Tour set, for my MIJ Fender Strat.

BKP Humbucker set (type to be decided) for my basswood Epi LP.

and finally .... before I shuffle off of this mortal coil I will have one of these
