Happy NGD to me!!!
Just got this bad boy at Guitar Center for $800...I had to sell my car to buy it... But I couldn't afford to fix or drive it so...seemed reasonable...LOL It was just taking up space in the back yard driveway... PRS Mira Core...not an SE or X...

I love double-cut guitars (all of my customs are)! That one looks real easy to play (and looks like it's beggin' to be played!).

Are those frets larger than normal? They look huge in that picture.

Yes they are Jumbo XL's...the TONE is OUT OF THIS WORLD!
I haven't even plugged into my H&K Grandmeister yet...
just playing through S-Gear, and OMG...now I see why
these are such sought after guitars...but I could tell just
playing unamped and listening to it it was going to be incredible!
They are selling on ebay and elsewhere for $1200 or more...
and not in as good a condition is this one...so, hopefully the
value on this will only appreciate...instead of depreciate, like
most guitars I buy...LOL

The Mira SE was made in Korea. The Mira S2 (the newest Model) is made here in the US. The Mira Core (what this one is) were the first line produced by PRS before the "sub" lines were made, and are full PRS's, and not the "sub" lines. One of the articles I read on this particular Model, the Mira Core, said it sold for $3,100 new. The way to tell a Mira Core is the "Coil Tap" toggle switch near the volume/tone knobs. The Core's were the only ones that had them.

WOW Larry , you really did get one heck of a deal Now that you mention those details I do remember the model you picked up .. A few years ago I was somewhat active on a forum called The Gear Page ... That forum went nuts when The Mira Core came out ...A lot of guys over there were buying them ... A lot of nice things were said about that model guitar Kenny

Kenny, the tone from this thing is SICK. It makes me want to play...
I can see why they are so prized now. Hopefully it will be an
investment that will only appreciate in value. It's a BEAUTY!
There is one teeny tiny nick on it...hardly noticeable...
I honestly didn't think I'd ever own a "real" full, not SE, S2, X,
PRS. I did own a Blue Custom 24 SE, but it was "low end"...ok,
but nothing to write home about...I'd really love to have a Custom 24...
THAT'S what I'm really aiming for, but, when I saw this, I said, at
THAT price, I'm going to find a way...
I haven't owned a "high end" guitar since my Peter Frampton Black Triple Pickup Gibson Les Paul,
and that was MANY years ago...so am QUITE happy to be "back in business"!

Hi Larry , Based of the design , the woods, and the brand itself , it doesn't surprise me one bit that your new guitar is a Tone Monster .... I bet the bridge plays into that too. My Limited edition 61 Epi SG has that type of bridge on it and it hangs right in there w my Gibson R 8 Les Paul with tone and sustain .... The main thing is It's nice you have something your proud of Yeah I hear you loud and clear on trying to get a real Axe after letting go of a keeper ...it's very hard to come back . I used to play vintage guitars when the prices were still very low (mid 70's to early 80's ) ... Went through a whole bunch during that era ...to many to list ... The thing that struck me about your post is we both had the same type of experience including the same model guitar  The very last super good guitar that I had after I sold my 59 Tele was a Gibson Les Paul Custom 3 pickup Black Beauty ... sold it to Manny's Music in 81 or 82 .... Then it only took me 30 plus years to get another Gibson Les Paul A Gibson R 8 VOS Plain top . cool beans on your guitar Larry ...enjoy Kenny

I keep scrolling back up to the original picture. That sure is some sexy looking wood that is just begging to be picked up and played! I like the taper on the edge too, I've only seen that on a Schecter double-cut S1 before and it wasn't done as well.  Not the best picture, but I couldn't find the one from their old catalog that I really liked...
Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW!
