- I hope you have a shitload of money. The Dragon guitar is Paul Reed
- Smiths personal guitar. They do not take custom orders from players
- like us. Unless Neil Eric Wood is swedish for Carlos Santana 8^)
-
- PRS makes a couple of diff kinds of guitars. They make a bolt on series
- in the price range of 1200 to 1600 retail. They make a glued neck series
- including a "Custom" series that list from 1600 to about 3000 with a
- case, retail, and there is the Signature series at about 3500. Last
- but not least theres the Artist series for people like Carlos and
- Warren and Dickey they go for Huge money 4k+. The above data is from
- memory and I could be off a hundred here and a hundred there. Oh they
- do not give there guitars away to artists, but do allow artist input.
-
- Interseting story concerning the Artist series. Paul Smith made 3
- guitars for Dickey Betts. Used laquer paint and everything. Betts
- returned the guitars. Smith wanted to know what was wrong. Betts
- take his old gold top L.P. and stikes it with a teak dowel. The
- old L.P. rang like a bell. Now Pauls artist series guitars are all
- hand selected wood that passes the teak dowel test.
