NGD....A brother for a 'Lil Dragon

[Bowtiefanatc]

He doesn’t have one.

straight in the feels...

 

[Bowtiefanatc]

Well that’s not right.

I completely agree.

 

[bodia]

Sweet!!!

Duuuuuddddeeee!!

There’s so much goodness going on there.

The top is outstanding and that fretboard/inlays!

Congratulations Brother.

Damn! I like that color a lot. You can see what’s going on with the top.
Note to self - Get wife drunk...

PS - What is Mrs B drinking tonight?!

Thanks! Yeah, getting the wife drunk will be my new S.O.P.!

Nice, but why 2x guitars the same?




























because science

As a believer in sciende, I fully embrace this statement!

Noah’s Arc Rule.

Hell yeah!

Drop dead gorgeous!

Thanks Dave

Stellar.
I like this one a bunch.
Ping me when you decide you’re not cut out to be a horder.

Noted!

I really really like that. The birds, the birds!!!

guh...

Love it! Congrats on doubling your dragon collection (don’t call them little, their tone is huge!)

Thanks guys!

 

[bodia]

Congrats on the double dragons....

So which of the two are you going to sell to me?

Well, it'll have to be the red one, cuz Pete beat you to "dibs" by a few posts

 

[bodia]

Congrats dude!!!
I was watching that one.
Great score.

Sorry!

 

[Tosca]

Well, it'll have to be the red one, cuz Pete beat you to "dibs" by a few posts

Works for me.

 

[bodia]

Nice! And I’m glad you threw a bone in Ryan’s direction. He’s a good dude. He plays in the Kelly Bell Band. They are a smokin’ phat blues band!

Yeah, that was a smooth transaction. I'll visit his place again.

 

[bodia]

Oh man, that's among the nicest tops I've seen on a Westie.

Big time score!

PS ... glad that wasn't a bullet hole in the box.

Me too!

Love it!

Thanks!

"Football is the opiate of the masses" amirite?

Seriously, that's a stunning new axe, and I especially love the figuring on the fretboard. That might be because it reminds me of the one on my ME1, there's a very distinctive swirl in the grain that looks a bit familiar.

Yeah, the fretboard is pretty sweet looking. Brazzy for the win!

wow what a guitar

probably a great time machine as well to the past

Sure is!

Man, that’s nice! I’ve got to get one of those.

Yes, you do!

Congratulations .... that is just gorgeous!!

Thanks

How excellent! Have you plugged her in yet? Does the wife know how much it cost?

"I'll tell you how much it cost dear, here I made a G&T for you first..."

hahahahahaha!

Congrats Buddy, great score. I can relate to the principle of at least two of each Btw Sergio must be p.... off that he can't do a test drive

I may have to get suited up in my Hazmat gear

OMG ! That’s a beautiful instrument sir.

Stunning!!! I love it. Congrats !!!

Thanks!

 

[bodia]

This is gonna sound a little crazy....but 2 dragons.

such a great looking Westie!

Yeah, cuz 2 is better than 1, by 100%

That’s one of the nicest I’ve seen. Congrats!

Thanks V!

Gorgeous! Congrats

Thanks

Excellent!! Now you need a group shot of the black one and the white one together with these two. Don't think there were more colors ?

Yeah! That would be awesome!

Great score!!! Congrats!

Thanks!

You don’t have 2?

He doesn’t have one.

He really needs to do something about that !

 

[Bowtiefanatc]

^^

oh I know! I would love to remedy that issue

 

[Davey]

Sorry!

No need to be!

Y'all know I got the red Westie. Well, that 'Lil Dragon dude was getting all worked up that he didn't have a real family. Sure, he's got lots of cousins in the house, but no one he can really call close family. Ya know....blood family. Mi Familia! Plus, Covid really has him in a funk. I had to do something about it. I've looked recently, and seen some ridiculous prices. Monday night, watching the Packers with the Mrs (she's a Cheese-head), I found one that was priced pretty good. I offered. He countered. I clicked! The Mrs gave her approval since she likes dragons (and eagles) too.


Funny aside; when it showed up today she was surprised. "When did you buy another guitar?"...."Um, honey, you looked at it with me during the game Monday night! You even gave your blessing based on the baby dragon." All I got was a blank stare. She had no recollection. Obviously, she was a little further into gin and tonics than she, or I , realized. Interesting idea/tip here; if you're trying to get your significant other to sign off on your next gear purchase, get them blind drunk first!


Back to the big brother! My 2008 Westie is happier than a pig in sh!t to have an older brother. Please welcome to the family a 2007 West Street Limited! Old style case. Mint condition. Awesome Lil Dragon. Smokin' hot birds. That baby Eagle on the headstock. So much good. Even a little boat wake in the top. Previous owner replaced the West St pickups with a set of ReWind Low Output pickups. I'm not familiar with them, but am looking forward to trying them out. The originals pickups were in the case, along with all of the original case candy, including the letter from Paul explaining the history behind the West Street Ltd run. My red one had nothing but the whammy bar in the case. I've got a set of Amber Lampshades on order. Otherwise, he stays as is.


Another funny sidebar; in the envelope with Paul's letter was the original purchase receipt from 2007. Purchased from Towson Guitar Center, sales rep was Ryan Fowler. Where'd I just buy it from; Ryan Fowler's Guitar Experience. Funny, he got to sell it twice!


I know, I know........pics!

I did hold my breath a little when I saw the box..........

Hot Damn, that's Scorching Hot, Congrats

How did I miss this thread before? Wow, that's just gorgeous! Enjoy it!

 

[Egads]

That is killer! Congrats. I love that top, and the Paua (I assume) is amazeballs!

 

[bodia]

Bangin’! (Obviously)


Wow, not the color I was expecting from the pics.

It's a weird finish. The pics I took outside make it look Orange. It definitely is not Orange.

This pic of the headstock was outside, but in complete shade. Looks kind of Orange.

These are in the basement under florescent light. Closer to the Dirty 100.

With a couple of cousins!
