Great pix of the red hiker. The wammy bar must be a unique
animal....did Nokie order it that way for you or you put it on
yourself?
Any recordings/videos of you playing with Nokie and "the boys."
Looked like you're have wayyyyy to much fun. :)

Nokie wanted a tremolo model offered for sale, but his patent
was not finalized for his own trem. He asked them to build a
prototype with The Ventures model tremolo, picked it up in
Japan, and played it for the 2008 Japan concert series. He also
played it for the album recorded by The Ventures that year.
This guitar is unique in that it has this type of tremolo, and
the back of the neck is finished in the body color. To my
knowledge, this is the only 'Hiker with these two features.
Nokie wanted all production models to have the tung-oil finished
neck... At this writing, the tremolo model is no longer
offered.

Not only that, he no longer offers the guitar for sale in the
USA and it's not listed on Aria's site anymore either. It was
previously in the artist section.

Color me :o that it's still there. It's a great geetar and has
a very U neek sound, but MY opine is that no guitar is worth
more than $2500. Who buys theeze eggspensive geetar anyway?
Only old people who have jobs or are OK finanacially in
retyrement. Hell, I don't know who Fender sellin all the cheep
geetars they make to.

That's a pretty one! I've seen others on the Mosrite forum, but
how close they are to yours I have no idea. I opted for
HitchHikers because of the awesome lead growl they produce on
the bridge pickup...like no other guitar I've ever played...talk
about cutting through the mix!!! :o
