love the tele tone, but hate the look... however it would seem there is a Telecaster for us all:

this is mine - the Jimmy Page 'Dragon' Telecaster. Love the look.

Think it could have a nicier drawn...
But now you should just buy one and make (or ask someone to make) your own drawn o it :D

it was just the first picture of it I could find :) i'm sure its not as good as the original though..
but yes, i thought for a moment, maybe someone can draw on a telecaster body for me - but then I thought of the cost..
-
Er, is that really what it looked like??! I've only seen black and white pictures...
Ummm... yuk...
Glad someone likes it though.
(Fernando - is this what you were suggesting I do when I got my new tele a while back? Shame sir... :lol:)

as Fernando says, its not quite accurate, but its a good impression

I don't remember what i suggest :lol: Put if it were a custom psychadelic finish, just wasn't exactly this one... :P I'm sorry, beside I'm more than 10 years without drawing, I'm very fussy about drawns...

Seems this guitar is appealing to the Tele-haters but not to the Tele-lovers.... I think it's hideous!

Try turning the colour down on yer monitor Philly, doesn't look so bad then... (you might need to lower the contrast, and the brightness as well... a fair bit actually - but it'll look ok eventually :lol:)
-
It looks great if you're standing behind it ;)
-
awful, awful, awful, simply awful.
I'm a tele lover by the way.
I think Roo needs to have an opinion on this - lets put the Philly Q test to the test!
-
What's your address? I feel the need to post you some sandpaper :lol:
Each to their own mate, it's not for me (again, I'm a tele-lover), but if you like it then you go for it. Christ, some people even play Steinbergers :P
-
Christ, some people even play Steinbergers :P
:lol: and some of the people who play Steinbergers play them with Union Jack scratchplates ;)
seems the Page 'Dragon' tele is not well liked, I think its pretty phresh.. i sort of like the pink paisley ones too, but definitely not as much.
i can take all your stick ;) Roo hates the tele tone as well, at least I really like it, and have found one I like the look of too ;)
-

I knew you had one, I was going to make a V crack, bit that would have been too obvious.

I've a few, one of which is for sale..
edit: was just thinking, how much more of a difference could you have in electric guitar technology between a tele and a steinberger..!

Dunno, you could have something decent :P
-
Not my cup of tea but each to his own. I can imagine that some artwork could look good on a Tele if done well though and was perhaps a little more subtle.
-
Just google imaged it, had only ever seen it in B&W, i'm slightly disappointed now :(
Although, if i was going down the dragon tele road, i would probably go for this trussart

-
Me too, looked better in B&W :?
-
if i was going to have a dragon on a guitar - it would be this one:

I like the B&W version better too.
I can't help but think it would look better with three, maybe four wolves, howling at the moon.
-
As a HUGE fan of Saint Seyia - Knights of The Zodiac, a dragon to me must look alike the Shiryu tattoo:

I've plans to make a tattoo of a dragon, the head would need to be this one (I'm the pickiest guy on earth about dragon's heads)

I'm not usually a Zemaitis fan, but that's a beauty - nice and simple.
-
my only problem is i can't see the dragon :P
-
Yep, the Zemaitis is kinda cute...
This thread got me thinking though - isn't "imagery" kinda weird? There are several of us who have only knowingly seen b&w pictures of Jimmy Page and his "Dragon tele", and some of us (me included) think it looks pretty cool... Now, forty years after the event, we see a copy, we think "YUK!", and it turns out the original was that colour as well!!!
Who'd have thought?! :roll:
NEway - doesn't look quite so bad with his costume in that pic. So, gwem, feel free to get set up with that Jimmy Page look (we expect the shirt and the red velveteen trousers as well :lol:)

Low slung Les Paul or psychedelic tele = good look... frilly shirt and red velveteen trousers only belong inside a bull fighting ring ;)
