I think you may have reached guitar Nirvana.

I think that's it. I've got all the gear now that gives me the sounds in my head and I have 'my' tone. I don't think I was expecting ever finding it!

Sambo - the Mira is my favourite guitar. So you're not having it :lol:

I dont think the gas will ever go but I'm one of those who thinks they want/need something but ends up over thinking it and in the end doesnt buy it :lol: Quite content with what I have now. Had the Epi since 2002 and Pearl for a few months now I think, love playing em both tho the pearl really needs a setup. Will take it up to Wez or down to Feline when I get some extra money. Oh and my Laney is still sounding great after 1 and a half years in my posession :) I really want a JCM800 and SG again after listening to my Indian Sumemr discography tho, such an awesome raw tone :)

More than the McCarty? Or do you have rotating favourites like I do?

Same. It's a cheap, yet so unsatisfying, kind of GAS.

I believe I've found my tone (modded Marshall with PRS) and have no GAS for guitar stuff at present- I do however have serious intentions to buy a fast bike-sold my Lotus recently so have some cash doing nothing.............

Look at this.

It is nice.

It is the perfect head for your new super strat.

The Mira is my #1, but the McCarty fills the 'LP singing fat blues tone' gap that the Mira doesn't quite do. The pair of them cover all the classic rock/blues tones I'd ever need. And they're just sooooooooooooooo nice to play.

Oooh, I would like one of those McCartys. Despite my GAS-free claims

. I think I might like it even more than the Mira.

But it ain't gonna happen, they're just too much money (not overpriced, just too much for me).

You'd love it Philly. Just your cup of tea. Not helping the GAS am I? ;)

I think a Korina Mira would rock an absolute fat one. That would be a killer guitar...

Oh stop. There I was, GAS free, and the thought of that McCarty is starting to nag :( .... Guitar Village have got one in that nice pale sunburst colour.

Maybe I could P/X the Mira.....

That one at Guitar Village is a steal. I paid more than that for mine.

There's one the same as mine at Machinehead for £1799 and one in natural with birds and gold hardware at Guitars4You for £1999.

If you like the colour, Guitar Village's is the one to get. Just check it's a one piece body if you're bothered about these things as the McKorinas can have up to three pieces. Not accpetable on a £1500+ guitar in my opinion, but I think they get a bit limited by the wood supply.
