I was just innocently browsing the local Kijiji and saw someone wanted to trade a Mira for a tube amp... and don't I have a tube amp down in the basement collecting dust... and what do you know they're interested... and voila!
So this is my second 2008 Mira core, in Vintage Mahogany, all stock... it's been played but it's in great condition with virtually no fretwear and only a couple miniscule marks and some buffable swirls on the body... at 7lbs 2oz she's about 9 ounces heavier than my Vintage Cherry Mira from the same year.
It was set up a bit odd, and I spent a couple hours restringing it and getting everything set up properly. I wasn't pleased at all with the result until I adjusted the pickups; I'd forgotten how much of a difference a couple turns of the screwdriver can make with these Mira pups!
Honestly, I thought I would just grab this deal and use the guitar as trade bait for something else - amps are harder to move and I had less than $500 in this one so it was an easy trade up for me... but now I've got it all set up I don't want to let it go! Guess I'll have to keep it around for a while; I don't really need another Mira, but it's tuned to Eb right now so it's useful that way. If nothing else, it takes up less space than the amp did... Why do these have to be such great guitars?
