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?

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

Bill, tgo

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.
