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

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.

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 ;)
