I wanted to post a photo of this year's PRS "Dragon" guitar, but Sweetwater's website doesn't seem to have an image available It's a gorgeous double-neck, list is "only" $40,000.

Paul My friend who gave me the link said it was worth a couple hundred thousand dollars. At least that's what the guy put into it. But don't quote me on that one. However, looking at it and the materials used, I wouldn't doubt it. www.myspace.com/apocrypha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantasticsound Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I hate you, ryst! Despite a passion for beautiful instruments, looking at guitars never makes me go off the deep end with GAS. But I started perusing the Grizzly supply "book" and now I have major GAS for all the bits and pieces to complete, fix and accentuate my existing instruments. I have a decent classical guitar and my first guitar (also a classical, but a cheap Epi that was already in tatters when I got it to bring to summer camp) both in need of new tuning pegs. As in, they're unusable right now. I just bought a Fender Bullet Strat (Indonesian build) from Media Play for $69 for my birthday. It actually plays well and sounds decent. But it's strictly pedestrian in dark blue. Of course, with a cream pearlescent pickguard... My Blueridge acoustic is great, but again, an abolone or quilted maple pickguard would really go nice. Not to mention a set of exotic string retaining pegs... And there's the old Epi 12 string a co-worker gave me. He'd given it to our shop as a prop because the neck separated from its' heel. I fixed it, but it, too, needs some string pegs. All told, I'm guessing you've already cost me over $100 in parts. And Grizzly's prices seem very good compared to retail. Jerk!

Hanshananigan Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 That PRS "Dragon" guitar is beautiful! Here's a question for you guitar aficionado: Does a guitar with all that inlay actually play and sound well? Or maybe I should ask, does all that inlay substantially affect play and sound?

Dave The Rave Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I saw the Grizzly guitar(s) at NAMM earlier this year. They were inside environmental chambers. IMO, they're UGLY!! The workmanship was good for sure, but the are simply not works of art at all IMO. Now, the PRS Dragon guitars ARE works of art (IMO). Absolutely gorgeous. :DTR Cambrian Guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Cole Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I am not with you guys in this one.. I guess I am alone in thinking these guitars are incredibly gaudy. Liberace inspired excess. Give me a wood grain Les Paul, three color burst Strat, Blonde 335 or a Blonde Tele any day over those overwrought mantle piece guitars. There is no substitute.
