It would take a pretty amazing top to make that inlay seem secondary - and this guitar has it! Let us know how she plays, JV.

What is the point of living, if you can't fine the smallest twinkle or shadows of hope and inspiration.

This is what this guitar is to me. It is something to behold, forever. That is one of very few prize possessions one thinks about everyday, to remind oneself, just how very blessed you are. Everything you did which lead you to this wonderful relic of purpose, precision, and magnificent beauty has now placed in your hands to create -- continue to be inspired and inspiring to others is the successful road before you.

Jazz, when you shine, WE SHINE!

wowee!
That would make a bassist want to play it. :-)

Absolutely stunning, I bet she sounds as good as she looks.

That is a magnificent masterpiece!
You will no doubt be satisfied of the tones, playability and in your final decision to choose that astounding instrument!
Kudos my musical brother!

Hi Keavin, that is exactly what I thought too.

It is quite an amazing instrument visually, yes the dragon is pretty unmissable and although it is not something I would have chosen as an option, it does add to the uniqueness and retro feel of the guitar. I can't see it when I play so I will learn to be less self conscious of it. The workmanship of it is incredible and i think it looks great. Not as in-your face as I feared either.

I still have only had a few pockets of time to play it, but hopefully I will have some more time during the next week to find some tones that I can work with. I'm used to being able to dial in familiar sounds on my strats and Orion pretty quickly and having more tonal options on the dragon will take some time.

It has taken a while to get used to working two filters on my signature bass but with bass I have a tone of reference that I like ( Stanley Clarke). Now I can get whatever tone I want pretty much on-time.

With this guitar as with my orion I have no reference sound at all as I don't know any guitarists ( famous recording artistes) that use alembics that I can listen to to see what tones i can get at all so finding an consistent ME sound on there will be quite a challenge especially with so much tonal range to study and decifer and reproduce. Getting used to the two volume controls and no master volume should be interesting change too.

Thanks for all your positive comments on this guitar. I do indeed feel fortunate to own this particular guitar and the fact it was a custom of the month makes it feel that much more unique and personal. Now all I need is to persuade Stanley to sell me that Dragons Breath bass... hahaha

I'd route that thing out for a Floyd Rose!

Simply beautiful. Congrats!

Hmm, I'm not a big wammy bar user even though 3 of my guitars have them on. So I'll pass on that suggestion . :-)
