@@LysanderLH I just want to be in the basement bar of a Chinese CEO with a PRS collection. Sounds like an excellent evening. I reckon he would be into Santana and expensive whiskey.
@ I think you would leave that basement bar with some deep emotional scarring, a tattoo, localised bruising, some of the clothing you arrived with and a deep resentment of glossy PRS’, which bear more resemblance to French polished sideboards than they do useful guitars.
If you take the body and neck by itself, they're both beautiful. But together, there's just something about it that doesn't flow like you would expect. That said, it's going to sell for a crazy price and it's still a fantastic guitar. Someone will love it.
Could also be pretty cool if it had a black ebony fretboard with some white wood colored inlay artwork. You see those sometimes on PRS's crazy custom guitars.
I feel that whichever middle aged lawyer buys it, they should be required to get a right-arm sleeve tattoo that continues the design, or they are not allowed to make the purchase.
Middle-aged lawyer here as well. Not a PRS fan--especially not a Paul Reed Smith fan: the man is one part luthier, two parts huckster, and all-around jackass. As for this guitar, it's offensively ornate. And, like most PRS models, the pick-ups are just meh. Oddly enough, I also like Reverend. I have a Warhawk DAW and it's at the peak of the money/quality curve. My favorite guitar, though, is my EBMM Armada.
I just want to thank you guys! I have been pretty sick for the last couple of months, my lungs got me not feeling that well and while I am in recovery i have seen all your episodes. Regards Harvey
Yes, but it was the same with most of the dragons, so I guess that most of those that like the PRS designs in general will find that thing beautiful. PRS designs in general are clearly oriented toward ornementation, and were never supposed to please those who think that, in design, "less is more".
I will take your statement and apply it to any expensive PRS guitar. Who buys these things lol... Do they even retain anywhere close the purchase value ?!
@@metallixro I guess a normal private stock PRS might more or less (if you are willing to way before selling it because the buyer pool is more limited with this type of high end but not Fender or Gibson guitar), but when Lee said that this dragon was an investment, I will not be so sure, it is not a guitar with an history like a L series Strat, it is just a very pricy guitar, they might go for a lot of money on the used market now, but at the first sign of a downturn of the economy, they will be hemorrhaging your money...
This is timely, right now I'm waiting on a box to get delivered within the next hour that contains my PRS S2 McCarty 594. It's not a dragon Mccarty but it's still a beautiful guitar. They are the finest guitars I've ever played
@@wesleymorris1 i think the differences are the wood and the nut. So basically intonation. I own a 2023 PRS S2 Standard 24 and it plays so beautifully I can't get over it. So I imagine this will be the same
@Mark_B585 i have both s2 and core guitars with the core pickups, playabiity feels the same to me, actually my s2s play better then my silver sky core, the action is alittle higher becuase of the radius. It plays great just different. My singlecut s2 ive never adjusted the neck once, its got really low action. There all great guitars, even the se models. My swamp ash se is one of my favorite guitars. Its pro level
@@wesleymorris1 so I just got the guitar in and it plays like a dream I'm getting used to the wider neck as my Standard 24 had the pattern thin neck but I absolutely love it
It is always so cool to see what the PRS Private Stock team can cook up, and it's always fun to see how people react to their work the same way we do in the factory when we see guitars like this getting built :)
Can't help but feel those who can't afford it and can't imagine anyone "normal" being able to afford expensive things, are just spending their dosh on the wrong things all through their lives, and not saving for the things they want. Probably because they seem unobtainable now, so why save for later? I can afford it and I'm none of the above, I'm a guitar teacher, and band member. However I am also very good at saving rather than spending. So in fact I could buy loads of 'em. Not boasting, just saying, your priorities in spending "now" dictate how much you can spend later on down the road. That being said, whoever buys it, this is a purely an investment piece as no one in their right mind would buy it to play in a band.
My family live in the US near a shop called Dave's guitars - he has an insane collection of these from over the years (amongst lots of other impressive stuff!) Great vid!
I ditched my fenders and Gibsons for PRS. Their quality is outstanding and their guitars play like butter. Paul is truly innovative while the other two are stuck in the past.
Great playing Pete !!!!!!! Don't know if it's psycho somatic but it's the best sounding PRS I heard.. so much dynamics, harmonics and texture... Bravo Pete and bravo PRS 🔥
Spot on - it's a lot of money and that's that. Pete didn't pop up to say 'best guitar I've played all year' so it probably isn't any better than any other high spec PRS. So that's at least 10K for a fancy fingerboard.
Sounds amazing to my ears. I've got some expensive headphones on, and it's kicking out perfect 'recording' frequencies. I reckon this would be killer on record, please John Mayer, buy it!!!!
I can appreciate it as a work of art. The effort to create that fret board inlay is pretty awesome. I’m not sure why the headstock isn’t gloss like the body but different strokes for different folks. Looks pretty cool as a wall hanger.
The most surprising thing about this guitar is it's incredible sound! I'm not personally a fan of fancy tops and necks, but what do i know ? I like teles and gold tops. But that guitar resonates.
Pete's playing, even when clearly trying to be gentle with it, is lovely. That said, while it's beautiful, it's a bit sad to be a display-piece by design.
@@jeffreymoffitt4070 Given that fretboard wear would be the death of its value, I suspect you'd probably want to be properly wealthy if you were to use it like that. To me, it would have made much more sense if it was just part of the body that was embellished, perhaps with the headstock as well. :/
You have to admire Paul Reed Smith's dedication to making ugly expensive guitars for 4 decades. The lack of taste on show here is astounding. £18,995. It will disappear into a blues lawyers private collection.
Unfortunately I agree. For this price you are missing out on a Brazilian rosewood Murphy lab. While that’s also a guitar I’d never get, at least the finish looks amazing on all the bursts. My main gripe with PRS is that every single one of their guitars sound better with 3rd party pickups. My friend said I had the best sounding PRS he played, it has pearly gates pickups. No matter how much you love or hate PRS, do yourself a favor: if you buy one, sell the overpriced pickups. Beautiful bundles of wood, but I’m not trying to buy a table.
The inlays are a fine work of art ❤. The dragon from a distance doesn't jump out, though ... you gotta look from nearby, that a pity.... The top is great and sounds great too.
The fact that beauty like this continues to exist gives me hope that humanity will survive the present idiocy. I will never own one but it still warms my heart and brings a tear to my eye . ❤ Thank you Paul Reid Smith !
I remember in the summer of 1996, after I graduated high school, I was a brick tender working on the front entrance of a new, fledgling music supply store/warehouse in Ft Wayne, Indiana named Sweetwater Sound Inc. It just so happened that they had a PRS dragon in the showroom for, if I remember correctly, $39,000 and I was blown away by the workmanship and amount of time that had to have been put into building that guitar. Nearly 30 years later I can still go to that shop, although it’s in a different and MUCH larger building now, and see both the business and the guitar line still alive and well in the music industry. Damn I’m getting old…🤘🏼🍻
Not a fan of the colour but appreciate the intricacy and talent required to make a quality piece of art like that and it sounds great as always. Anybody notice the pickups stamped as McCarty III yet PRS website calls them DMO. Interesting. Great vid as always boys
I remember there being an older one of these dragon inlay limited editions at my local guitar shop (PMT) for about 10 years because no one bought it lol
Tbh I couldn't care less about the guitar, but I am pleased to see it has the same bridge as my 1,000$ PRS SE Paul's Guitar. I love it, it's the best guitar I've ever owned or played. That said- I haven't owned or played anything but budget guitars my whole life so- not really that surprising. It costed twice what my others cost, and it's twice as good- adds up. And I say all of this to finally brag in Sire- who has a guitar out that's every bit as nice as my PRS, for only 700 bucks. In fact, I was so impressed with it- I just got my PRS last week and I'm already considering buying the Sire as well. It's their Strat copy, the HSS model- the blue one with the flamed top- that's an amazing guitar for 700 bucks- locking tuners, bone nut, rolled finger board, roasted maple neck, maple cap, 2-point trem., and Idk what kind of pickups are in it, but they sound like Seymour Duncans to me. Put it this way, I'm selling a Classic Vibe HSS 70s Strat and an Ibanez SP3 to get it, it's that good. P.S.- The playing was amazing Pete- but it would've been hilarious if you had of just played Smoke on the Water and then sat it down and walked off. LOL Also- SweetWater sent me an ad for this guitar earlier today- they're selling it for 14 Gs- that's 6 grand less than the 20Gs capt. said it costed. What's up with that? Sweetwater says they have 22 of them, maybe that's why- they bought more of them, so they got them cheaper maybe? Idk- 14 Gs, 20Gs- basically the same price to me, I can't afford either.
Master builders need to have some fun as well sometimes . I think its cool. Not for me, but it's fun to see what they can do when they push the boat out sometimes . Given that they largely do the same or similar most times for players.
Great video. Only heard about the guitar today and Andersons reviewed it👍Body should be green or red being a dragon, I don’t think it’s that bad looking, but would they put that neck on a different body if I ordered it?
The KING of PRS guitars, behold the Dragon! I opened a similar looking box from PRS private stock ~5 years ago 😊 I love the inlay work and the wood choices, and I AM biased but I prefer my 35th anny Dragon from 2020. Absolutely gorgeous though, what a gem. Congrats to whoever scoops it up!
Yeah, that is the most beautiful guitar ever made imo. Just perfection all the way around. Congratulations on owning a piece of electric guitar history!
Hi everyone, thank you very much for this great video! I was wondering, How did they manage to make 165 of them? There are two or three weeks of work on each of them, minimum! It's incredible!
Beautiful and sounds amazing. Their selection or wood is insane. Is it for me not really but. I like it because it’s different. You always see the same guitars with either blocks or dots. I like that PRS does something different even though they’ll make you a guitar with the standard blocks and dots. Unfortunately for this beautiful sounding guitar it will probably never see the light of day.
PRS does moulded plastic cases now? I know the old ones was heavy, unwieldy, awkward to carry but it was it kind of fit the guitar, ever time opening it felt special.
I have a PRS hard case for my 2009 Mira. The case weighs 3 times what the guitar does. I think you could run over it with a semi and the guitar would be fine.
Nice guitar. Above my pay grade. I appreciate it for what it is. I know I could never afford it. Rather, I wouldn't be willing to attempt to afford it. I need a new truck. Thanks for the video, love seeing this.
Better late than never! I already got mine. It's hot. Didn't care for the stock pickups though so I installed some Firespitters and now it properly breathes fire like a dragon should. Chugs for days! Pete's Dragon over there playing one note at time. What does that do? Nothing! Naught! Nair! Dragons don't sit around going plink, plonk, plink, tweeedly dee. Fire that shit up! I wanna see the Dragon guitar plugged into a Dracarys pedal with a Satriani Dragon amp and matching Dragon cab. You can do it! Be the dragon. Sho nuff!
I love the way that companies put "FRAGILE" on delivery boxes. Like the courier is going to give the package extra care or even just be careful during transport. 🤣😂
That is not nearly as bad as I first thought it would be, but I should set up a betting pool for when someone accidentally pulls out the first inlay while playing.
If you still have the guitar at Andertons HQ, could you just for fun, play a cover of wonderwall on it? Preferably with a capo on the 2nd fret. That would make my day.
Looks like something the CEO of a Chinese corporation would put in a glass case in their basement bar.
That makes me want it
@@tonedowne But tone is in the fingers, not the abalone neck inlays, so this in an ornament, not an instrument.
@@LysanderLH I just want to be in the basement bar of a Chinese CEO with a PRS collection. Sounds like an excellent evening.

@ Ha! Epic
I’m suprised it doesn’t come with a PRS microfibres onsey . So you can play it and Polish it at the same time .
It's a 500 bucks option ^^. A Taylor made cloth for this guitar with an ugly dragon printed on it somewhere in China :-D.
If you take the body and neck by itself, they're both beautiful. But together, there's just something about it that doesn't flow like you would expect.
That said, it's going to sell for a crazy price and it's still a fantastic guitar. Someone will love it.
The finger board should be rosewood with those inlays.
imo too much going on with the neck colorwise
Could also be pretty cool if it had a black ebony fretboard with some white wood colored inlay artwork. You see those sometimes on PRS's crazy custom guitars.

Same here. Every time I get a PRS, I directly change the pickups. And then the guitars starts to be really good.
I always want PRS Dragon, ever since watching Brendan Fraser's Airheads (1995) in late 90s ..
OMG! It's HIDEOUS!
Absolutely Stunning.
If i was a billionaire i still wouldn't get this.

Bravo on that demo music!!
Some hate the PRS Birds or Dragons, but to me, they're iconic. The Anniversary Dragons are stunning-no wonder collectors pay £25,000!
Gotta be honest, that fretboard looks really bad and it does NOT go well with the body color.
Money can’t buy taste they say….
I think the fretboard looks nice but you're right. It doesn't belong on that guitar
Huh. I thought the body looked really bad and didn't go well with the fret board. Sorry to be adversarial.
Wow that really is stunning!

GG.
Looks amazing. Sadly I've never got into the PRS thing which is a shame as I think Paul is a top guy.
The inlay work, wood and finish is stunning, but I could not pay £19k for a guitar. I just hope whoever does get it plays it now and then.
You know there's something special ahead when Pete uses his glasses, to not miss any detail of it.
Props to all the CNC machines that made that guitar.
My gosh that’s beautiful!!
Lol I thought this was gonna be the new Hello Kitty stuff with a troll title for a bit
I never hoped for a Giveaway this hard...
Beautiful work, never liked the look of the PRS guitars personally but each to their own
Not a fan of the colour but appreciate the intricacy and talent required to make a quality piece of art like that and it sounds great as always. Anybody notice the pickups stamped as McCarty III yet PRS website calls them DMO. Interesting. Great vid as always boys
I remember there being an older one of these dragon inlay limited editions at my local guitar shop (PMT) for about 10 years because no one bought it lol
I’ll wait for the PRS SE version.
I'll wait for the €200 Harley Benton version
White pickup rings?
Tbh I couldn't care less about the guitar, but I am pleased to see it has the same bridge as my 1,000$ PRS SE Paul's Guitar. I love it, it's the best guitar I've ever owned or played. That said- I haven't owned or played anything but budget guitars my whole life so- not really that surprising. It costed twice what my others cost, and it's twice as good- adds up. And I say all of this to finally brag in Sire- who has a guitar out that's every bit as nice as my PRS, for only 700 bucks. In fact, I was so impressed with it- I just got my PRS last week and I'm already considering buying the Sire as well. It's their Strat copy, the HSS model- the blue one with the flamed top- that's an amazing guitar for 700 bucks- locking tuners, bone nut, rolled finger board, roasted maple neck, maple cap, 2-point trem., and Idk what kind of pickups are in it, but they sound like Seymour Duncans to me. Put it this way, I'm selling a Classic Vibe HSS 70s Strat and an Ibanez SP3 to get it, it's that good.
P.S.- The playing was amazing Pete- but it would've been hilarious if you had of just played Smoke on the Water and then sat it down and walked off. LOL Also- SweetWater sent me an ad for this guitar earlier today- they're selling it for 14 Gs- that's 6 grand less than the 20Gs capt. said it costed. What's up with that? Sweetwater says they have 22 of them, maybe that's why- they bought more of them, so they got them cheaper maybe? Idk- 14 Gs, 20Gs- basically the same price to me, I can't afford either.
The 14 angelic choruses that kept randomly cutting off did it for me 😂
That body and that fingerboard/neck...were these paired up in the dark?
guitar aside, what is providing that gorgeous shimmer reverb? Loving that a lot!
The comments have truly lived up to Pete’s expectations!
They NEVER take a day off...they are exhausting.
Master builders need to have some fun as well sometimes . I think its cool. Not for me, but it's fun to see what they can do when they push the boat out sometimes . Given that they largely do the same or similar most times for players.

Folks were asking Paul about dragons as recently as Saturday. it might be unattainable for most folks, but it's got a nonzero market.
Oh! I thought it would be the Hello Kitty strat..
Agree with a lot of others. Beautifully made obviously but it really doesn't float my boat. I have two PRS's and much prefer the look of those.
Better late than never! I already got mine. It's hot. Didn't care for the stock pickups though so I installed some Firespitters and now it properly breathes fire like a dragon should. Chugs for days!

I wanna see the Dragon guitar plugged into a Dracarys pedal with a Satriani Dragon amp and matching Dragon cab. You can do it! Be the dragon. Sho nuff!
Is there a relic'd version?
Outstanding!!!!!
The body should look like an 80s shredder for the whole thing to look good. Ibanez does a good job with the designs like that
I love the way that companies put "FRAGILE" on delivery boxes. Like the courier is going to give the package extra care or even just be careful during transport. 🤣😂
what pedal is pete using to create that synthey echo while he is playing?? (more interested in that than the guitar haha)
That is not nearly as bad as I first thought it would be, but I should set up a betting pool for when someone accidentally pulls out the first inlay while playing.
PLAYING?!!? (Never gonna happen)
If you still have the guitar at Andertons HQ, could you just for fun, play a cover of wonderwall on it? Preferably with a capo on the 2nd fret. That would make my day.
Still comes with a bridge you can't adjust intonation on in a good way.
really thought it was going to be the fender hello kitty guitar ☹
Thanks for sharing!
As beautiful this guitar is, the Pete's playing was just as heavenly(if not even more).
Absolute gorgon of a guitar.
Whose signature model is this? Elton John or Liberace 😅
Ok that’s funny…😂😂😂
My local music shop (big PRS dealer in the area) got one and already sold it. $18,000.00.
When is the SE version coming out? 🤔😂
Beautiful Jewel
