PRS Private Stock
1993 Dragon I #37 - Teal Black #15421
Please note - FOR UK SALE ONLY.
Ultra rare PRS 1993 Dragon I in Teal Black, this is #37 from the run of 50. These original Dragons hardly ever come up for sale, this one has been in a large collection and is in excellent condition. At the time it was released, the inlay work from Paul Reed Smith set the standard for what a really incredible top end guitar is, as opposed to just a high end guitar. Considered to be such a landmark that one example resides in the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian.
The 201-piece abalone dragon inlay was not the only thing that set this guitar apart from others in the PRS product line. For the first time in the company’s history, the Dragon 1 came with a 22 fret neck, a newly designed PRS stop-tail bridge, and Dragon pickups. Mahogany body with a stunning Curly Maple top and the Mahogany neck has a Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard. Its a lovely light weight and resonant example.
With the very limited build run and a list price of $8,000 in 1992, the Dragon 1 became an instant collector’s item with only a few making it to the UK. Complete with it's original case and cert.
