Dragon guitar

A solid-body guitar with the hand of a dragon carved into the body with airbrushed colors

The body of this guitar is alder with a dragon’s hand carved into the lower bout and airbrushed green/blue with gold claws and red tear marks in the guitar.  The body is sprayed silver on the top, and is a sunburst to a center of white on the back.  The dragon inlay on the rosewood fingerboard is of brass, abalone and mother of pearl.  The inlay on the headstock is of a Chinese theme dragon and made with the same inlay materials.  There are side fingerboard dots only.   The pickups are P-90 and handwound by me.  There is a single volume and tone control.  All hardware is chrome.
