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.

WOW!  I hadn't checked the site recently...  Thanks for the heads-up!

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
