I'm asking because I'm looking at a 2008 Artist Pack guitar and the hangtag says Dragon for pickups, both neck and bridge. Is this just a handwritten mistake? They should be Dragon II's based upon my other 2008.

What do you think? Could a set have been put in this guitar?

I won't have a chance to play the guitar first.

Thanks.
 
We stopped using them on production models in 1998, but we continued to make them for a while longer. Your guitar could have been a special model with original Dragon pickups, but it's more likely that they are Dragon II's and a typo on the hand tag. What's the serial number?
 
I vaguely remember some Dragon I's resurfacing long after they were out of production. Being AP, maybe they could've been specially put in there like Shawn said.

Shawn,

Thanks for the reply! The serial # is 133309. Can you confirm if it has Dragon 1 pickups and a Macassar ebony board as well? I can tell from the pics it has a rosewood neck.

Thanks! The modcat is CUM2FAIFCIT_WB_GD-D3

If you don't want the dragon IIs... I'll take them off you so you don't have to hear them again. I won't even charge ;)
