scale mary dragon guitar

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 ,, sorry for the choice in music instead of a sound bite , but i cant get my guitar rig to work on this new syestem yet ,, i'l give a sound bite when i figure it out .
she is affectionatly called "scale mary " .. hope you like her .
