BIG Time Acquisition: 2003 PRS Dragon 2002 Single Cut #41 Red

Hello Again All GuitarFans out there in GuitarLand,
As always, we hope that everyone is having a great Monday, but doesn't have a case of the Mondays...It's always sunny in Annapolis, as they say.  And, who are 'They' anyway?  - The omnipresent 'They', vicariously dictating and influencing our lives.

Well 'They', in this case meaning the GuitarGods, have decided to bestow upon us lowly retailers here at Garrett Park, a guitar of guitars; A guitar spawned in the very bowels of GuitarHeaven; A guitar  brought forth by the unholy visions of a lunatic mind, mister Paul Reed Smith; Nay, I dare say to some, the Holy Grail of guitars!

Before you read further into this tantalizingly luscious blog post, here is a glimpse at this beautiful piece:

These guitars are so beautiful, that they have even been featured in museums.  Here is a picture of the neck inlay and a brief description taken from the National Museum of American History's website about the instrument they have on display there:

This electric guitar was made by Made by Paul Reed Smith (PRS Guitars) in Annapolis, Maryland in 1993. It is serial #3 1557 and has a composite solid-body maple top and mahogany back and neck, all stained green, and features two humbucking pickups. This Dragon I model is distinguished by its distinctive mother-of-pearl dragon fretboard made from 201 pieces of abalone, turquoise, and mother of pearl. It had a limited production run of 50 guitars.

When he started building his instruments, Paul Reed Smith was steeped in the traditions of the classic electric guitars of the 1950s and 1960s. Ted McCarty, the past president of Gibson and designer of the Les Paul model, was his mentor. In 1994, Paul Reed Smith's company, PRS Guitars, launched the McCarty model as a tribute to this electric guitar pioneer.

Here at Garrett Park, we are humbled to be able to have not one, not two, but THREE of these instruments of Heavenly Delights here on Earth, in our store at the same time.  Wow...(insert awed and reverent silence).  Here is a hand-held picture of our case containing all three:
