Reviewed by: UG Team, on august 07, 2003

Purchased from: Oversea's USA

Features: The Guitar waz made In the USA it has it is a 24 fret guitar so you can reach those screaming notes its and Solid top. On the guitar it has two knobs one for Volume and another for the tone and it has one tone contol Switch like on Gibson Les Paul. It has Strong double bridge and two Humbicking pickups. // 6

Sound: I play Fast Solo songs Like Carlos santana so I needed guitar with a low Action and good pick ups. Before I bought this guitar I bought a Fender Cyber twin Delux Which I should say cost me an arm and leg the both go great together. I don't like to use effects for guitars beacuse I mostly like Clean sounds which given Beautifuly by the Dragon 2002. // 10

Action, Fit & Finish: This was custom made guitar So I had to wait some time before I recived it cause I live Australia so I had to Order it from the USA. The two humbucking pick up's Are A Shiny Gold playted. There was long scratch on the back I only notice it after 2 days form gettign it. But beside that 85% of the guitar is covered by a dragon face evret single Detail wuz put it to it from those Man eating teeth And Bullet eyes you could think the Dragon wuz gonna Come alive at any minute. // 8

Reliability & Durability: I've accidently drop the guitar beacuse the strap was stuck to my foot and feel on a wooden floor board only got tiny sratch . I was most definite use this guitar when I play live Beacause I get the most attention form people watching me Cause the loook of the guitar (LoL). // 8

Impression: I've been playing about 6 years now and I have my own band there called "Phoenix" . The Different guitar's I have were Fender Startocaster 60's (red) Gibson Les Paul 50's (Yellow &orange) a Maton Master sound (brown) and I only have two Amps My Fender cyber twin Deluxe and Fender Princeton Chorus. I bought for outragest body work and the Great clean to mean sounds. // 6

why do you talk about yourself in the section abou the impression of the guitar your talking about. you people go way off course and think your being interviewed by metal hammer

[TOB00]

its awesome, i love it!

[vanhalenrule]

anty is right (btw, phoenix??? wtf!?)

[which ones pink]

I CAN'T BELIVE YOU GAVE THIS GUITAR AN 8!!! THIS IS THE HIGH END OF THE HIGH END OF PRODUCTION GUITARS.

WTF?!?

[which ones pink]

sorry, production solidbody guitars.

[kaliba]

im intreaged to how you got the strap stuck to your foot. i bet your heart stopped when it fell.

[xenocide01]

im extremely annoyed at the fact that someone could actually give this guitar anything less that a 10. This guitar is the epitomy of guitar perfection. Ive personally played a 2002 Dragon and i feel it deserves a 10. enough said... if you dont feel the same... thats your problem..

[fluffylump2]

why does he capitalize random words? And since when is Carlos Santana a "fast solo" player?

Compair this to a JIMMY PAIGE CUSTOM LP
THAT is a 10 guitar bud, no other guitar deserves a 10 but that beautiful piece of electronic grace, beauty, and f--king AWESOMENESS!!!

He prolly had it laying down and stepped over to pick it up, on the strap XD And when it tugged back, his grip wasn't tight for obvious reasons, and WHAM!!! heartattack

nope. the jimmy page les paul isnt at all worth the money it costs. the dragon deserves a 10 however.

[Gibsonmac1981]

you are a ****in idiot

[GitterMan]

How do you notice 2 days after buying a 30k GTR. That would have been the first thing I looked for. Cybertwins sound like shit. If you have that much for the axe buy a proper amp.

[stonedkirby]

orgasmico!

[carvinusa13]

you have to be tripping if you try to tell me that ANY gibson is worth a ten. look at the bridge. it has such horribly tiny bridge posts that no sustain can be had. look at a prs. no company beats a prs. especially a dragon. it's the best of the best.

[tony_u]

There is no way this guy actually owns this guitar.

[DaveForte]

Agreed. This guy cannot own this guitar. It's worth a definite 10, in every way. You either need good luck or a great education and job to afford this in the first place, to ensure my point, the excessive use of the word "wuz". Explains itself.

[mr kipling]

It says that it was reviewed by the UG TEAM, and yet it has horrible punctuation.

[Nightfyre]

*drools*
wow, i'd go for a guitar like that... i hate being poor...
maybe i'll get something and have a custom job done over the finish, but i'd love to have something that cool looking. i bet it sounds killer too...

[..NEM..]

Lol, worst review ever.

[s/ash]

you dropped it

[tuluks]

that dragon in the guitar must really wanna come out and bite you in the ass for dropping him all over the place, and for giving him a sh*tty review...

[Fergaroo]

This guy has serious issues with grammar and most probably common sense if he gave this guitar such a low score. .

[T-Unit33]

im confused as to why he gave this guitar an 8 in the "finish" section. There is a giant dragon on the front of your guitar...no quilt top or sunburst can beat a big angry dragon as your finish.

[mattgab1]

Short of this gentleman posting a picture of himself online holding this guitar (with its scratch on the back), I will agree with everyone else and proclaim that this person made all this up; but enough of that.

Personal tastes aside, I must point out the inaccuracy in your conclusion about the sustain. I own an Epiphone Les Paul Limited Edition from 1996, I believe. I was playing a riff from Tool's 10,000 Days at my guitar mentor's/friend's house. I had not known the next part of the song, so I let the strings simply ring, while stating that I didn't know what came next. My friend plays Fender and respects Gibson more than he likes them. Anyway, while letting the strings ring, without provocation, he remarked, "Man, that's nice sustain."

This is simply a rebuttal to counter what is, in my experience, a false criticism of the type of guitar I use (since I don't have a real Gibson). Whether you or I think it is worth a ten or not is another issue entirely.

Nothing against Santana, but this rhetorical question makes me chuckle from time to time when I recall it.

[mattgab1]

Because of how late I decided to write that post, I forgot to mention that; despite Australia being an English-speaking country, this post suggests that English was not this gentleman's first language. In fact, it seems that he was exposed to the language merely by adolescent text-messages.

This is a good review, though, for its comedic value.

Hilarious!
I totally agree. Also i like how in the review he talks about himself for the Impressions sections

[Multiplayerjon]

sick guitar... wish i knew how to use inlay art

[kyshack]

I have to agree with the seven or so comments above this one. Too funny man.

[Richard68]

why and how would anyone drop a 30k guitar?

[Thrash_fire666]

its so Fn ugly like the this guitar makes me want to puke

[dadudeguy]

what really puzzles me is the fact that he gave the features a 6...after fu*king up the list of features. i think this guy is retarded and deserves to have his shit pushed way in.

That Jimmy Page Les Paul doesn't have an inlaid dragon on the top of guitar...it also doesn't cost $25,000.

Dick.

[Cave_Troll]

For the love of God/Hendrix, please can someone who owns this guitar write a proper review for this, it deserves way more than that pile of trash. If there was a list of everything that makes a review bad that guy just ticked off every box....and probably added a few boxes.

[killerking24]

OMG that looks ****ing immense
