My diary popped up an anniversary today which is the date that my Series I Dragon Magic guitar arrived here from Texas in 2009.
This tame dragon is relaxing with it's older siblings.

Those are some nice instruments.

Always in for a Dragon! Love that maple-topped Series I.

It was supposed to come back to California .... hehehehe.

Just kidding of course, Jazzy!  (And I’ll bet you paid a LOT more than my “winning” bid in the fraudulent eBay auction I won).


Bill, tgo

Yeah thankfully you found out about the fraud in time. I was fortunate that someone on this forum knew I liked that guitar, emailed me and told me it was in the GuitarRez and I called and the rest is history.
Well the most painful bit was the import duty and VAT that I had to pay before it was released at customs. I hadn't budgeted for that as I thought used instruments were not liable. A painful and expensive lesson learnt there. I've been doing some recording with it tonight.

That's just a wonderful guitar!

Pleass correct me if I am wrong Jazzy, but isn't the Dragon inlay just like the one in Stanley's Presentation bass?

[lbpesq]

If anything, Mr. Clarke’s is like Jazzy’s.   Dragon Magic came first!

Bill, tgo

[jazzyvee]

The dragons on our instruments are quite different. Stanley’s is more elaborate with the wings and more detail. Is is a shame that a few years after i got it i started gettind most of my gigs on bass and focussed more on that. So it doesn’t get as much playing time live or home as it should. So now i have started to do some recording I am using the more guitar for that. But it is so sensitive and playing it cleanly without any unwanted fingering noises is still a challenge. The action of fretting one or more strings and playing needs to be bang on or you hear the fretting ching quite loud then the note. More practice needed.

Ah, I see the differences now. I went back to the front of the thread and looked at the older pictures. It really is a stunningly beautiful instrument.


I do know what you mean though... I used to have a little bit of game on guitar but bass has always kinda' been home. Since I started playing these Alembics I don't seem to spend as much time with my Martin guitars.
