To add to the trend of threads of new stuff, I thought I'd post my new guitar which arrived through the post today.
I won it off eBay, for £415 inc. P&P which is around £200-300 cheaper off the price it was released at.
It's a limited edition Indie "Dragon" guitar.
Body: Mahogany
Neck: Maple
Binding: Abalone
Config: H-S-S
Controls: Volume, Tone, 5-way
Hardware: Gold
Fretboard: Rosewood w/ Abalone Dragon Inlay
Bridge: Licensed Floyd Rose
here are some photos, yes, they are OTT -BUT- I love it. Plus the open coil gold humbucker is pretty! :D

And a small update on my "RG-in-the-garage", currently spraying on clear coats! And hopefully I'll get it done by the end of this month, or next month since it needs to cure.

I was getting ready to hate this....but I actually love that dragon inlay.
Kudos to you.

It's identical, isn't it (apart from the fretboard inlay which is completely different)?
How much is 5,999 DKK in £ or €?

Wow, nice guitar and a good price, a bit too busy for me.
You gotta love those Indie guitars.

Sorry, I was feeling lazy :wink: . I thought you'd know off the top of your head.

eeeuurgh... bit too much bling for me.
Still, good bargain!
Hope you enjoy it.
-
I think it's cool! Not my thing personally, but it suits your other guitars very well.
-
I read the descriptions earlier and was expecting to hate it, and therefore not bother posting... (I often can't see pics at work - couldn't in this case)
But hey, that's a gorgeous looking beast!
-
I've seen these before and I love the inlays , but find the Gold a bit of overkill.
Now because I would be likely to upgrade the pickups to BKPs and I would want to put a better Floyd Rose on there I think I would chose to have black pickups and rings and might even change the floyd and machineheads to black as well.
Then it will look a bit more subdued apart from the pearl and abalone
-
Nice one Jonny :D
I've only played a few Indie's but I've found them to be pretty good and a solid build quality.
I still have slight GAS for a black Indie 335 copy in my local store. It looks very plain but plays great and sounds very close to a 335.
Anyways, I digress ... Well done matey.
-
i agree with the comments about the gold... maybe a step too far but the dragon(s) does look less OTT than i expected. i quite like the design
but still, the only dragon inlayed guitars i could really go for look like this

no CNC dragons for me!!!

I think it's great - yes, over the top, but I think that having EVERYTHING - the inlays, the binding, the gold - actually suits the overall guitar.
Cracking. I love Indies.
Mark.

A tad understated but groovy looking.

Agreed completely. It's worth doing, it's worth OVERDOING!

That's what I had in mind. Let the hardware soak in while the abalone flashes the whole guitar.
BKPs I'm not so sure as to what I would put in. Overwound Sinner sprung to mind but I'm only thinking about it. :)
