as promised , here is a sound bite of my "scale mary " guitar .. i had to do the amp /mic/ earphone jack thingy .. my guitar rig is still messed up .
so here she is played pretty clean ;-)

here's the description again.

------i took an old exodic hand carved cherry wood desk telephone that stoped working on me and converted it to a 3 string guitar using an old bc rich guitar.
i used a gate latch for the bridge , and screwed it to the bottom ,, its height allowed for it . the eyes light up and so does the ball in the dragon's hand, with a batery pack and i switch i installed .
the headstock dragon i took off from a votive candel holder.
she sounds great ,, she is affectionatly called "scale mary " .. hope you like her

As others have already said, lovely tone. I really love the sound. Spectacular looking guitar, but I think I had a nightmare once that looked a bit like that. Seriously, great work.

THAT is some nice tone and  nice blues ~ would not matter if it was on the plainest git around or the dragon.   Good blues, Pick.
