I have two...one I bought from Nokie's personal collection, and one I ordered new through him. They are both superb guitars, with a unique sound not found elsewhere. Playability is as good as I have found in over 40 years of owning, and tinkering with guitars. The woods and craftsmanship in the Japan-built models are excellent; however, I understand Nokie is moving production back to the US, so quality is likely to change...for better or not is yet to be seen.
Anticipate a long wait... I ordered my quilt maple model two and a half years before receiving it...in the interim, I bought Nokie's personal guitar...a prototype of the tremolo model.
Hope that helps!
DesertSurfer:
Many may not know that Nokie Edwards' HitchHiker Guitars actually consist of three categories:
1) Electric (Made by Jackson Custom Shop & Rock Creek in the US and now Aria Japan)
2) Acoustic with pickup (Made by Santa Cruz)
3) Nylon Classical with pickup (Made by Canadian Luthier; Roger Stuckless)
I will post some information at "Desert Surfer's Ventures Guitars" soon...
Hope you guys will join in the conversation.

There's also 3 diffrent briges....the original (probs w/1st/2nd strings including breakage), the improved (one that I have) and the current one that's on the Aria models. Mine is cereal no. 0004 made by Fender/Jackson. It had the original brige and I sent back to Nokie and he installed the replacement brige. It's worked good ever since.
