DESCRIPTION
1994 PRS Dragon III # 47 of 100 Special Order Quilt Top Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboard Dark Cherry Sunburst
Dragon III
The Dragon III, similar to the Dragon II also contained gold – lots of gold. Larry Sifel of Pearl Works was building the Dragon III’s intricate neck inlay and recalls receiving the materials from the suppliers. “We had a truck that would come by every Thursday for months on end to deliver $4,000 worth of gold each time. They’d ask, ‘What are you guys doing?’”
The Dragon III was built in 1994 and the inlay was comprised of some very tiny pieces of material, some as small as a pin-head. The Dragon III prototype is currently on display with the National Guitar Museum’s traveling exhibition.
