Might need a Mira...

[strat63]

I went to a shop the other day to check out a Matchless amp. Not much for PRS, but they had an SE Mira. Fun guitar! Sounded and played great. I haven't played a core in a long time. I remember liking them back when they came out. Can't remember how I feel about the neck pickup sound with 24 frets. I have zero 24 fretters. I'd need to find one with a regular neck shape, I don't like the thin much.

Then I thought about the S2- 22 frets, regular neck...I'd really dig a semi hollow but they don't pop up often. I like dots on the Mira better anyways.

First, You can't go wrong with a core Mira. Just a solid rock guitar in my opinion.

Second, was that Matchless in Madison? I haven't seen one around town in years. Love the SC30 & the Chieftain.

I’d love to have that maple-topped Mira that Paul demoed so many amps with, it always sounds so ballsy. There’s one on Reverb like it, but the price is a shade high for me.

I've been hawking one just like this at a dealer for a while. I'm with you the price is just too high for me as well.

Yeah, it’s a Phoenix 35 and 2x12 cab. Basically an HC30 with el34’s. I’m considering buying it. Had a great vibe when I played it. It’s actually the only reason I’m pausing on the Mira for now. It’s been forever since I’ve played the SC30, but always liked them. I have my friend’s Chieftain right now. Also a killer amp.

I had a vintage orange '08 Mira. What a great guitar!

I sold it for the dumbest of reasons.

My first core was a beat to snot core Mira that wouldn’t stay in tune. It was pure fire when you hit the overdrive or distortion. I’d love another one, but first something has to go.

everyone needs at least one mira

Always amazed at how effortlessly Paul sings. Sammy sounded strained. On that note, singers gotta shut up every once in awhile so we can focus on the guitar

Miras are awesome.

I hear they’re in short supply because someone keeps buying them all!

Cue a bombardment of emails from Sergio to Iceman!
