there there.. *pats everyone on the head*

calm down, have a valium, everythin gwill be ok ;)

ok...

The guitar, as incidents stated, will be a completely custom made "dragon" guitar. The body will have the shape of a dragons head, with the head itself carved and airbrushed on (mix-technique) the body. out of the mouth of the dragon, there will be the neck, which will be a 36 fret (well - 3 octaves to be precise with the last few frets as full-tone steps) including jumbo frets, standard frets, and mandolin frets (the smaller the fret spacing, the smaller the fret). From the 15th or 19th fret onwad (not sure yet) it will be scalloped. the whole thing will be a 7-string whith the low B-string done fretless. there will be a big inlay which will be the tongue of the dragon.
The body will be partly hollow, partly solid for reasons of weight and sound. it will have an active EMG 7-string humbucker and a fix bridge (screw a tremolo).
i forgot about the woods, but i´ll leave that decision to the luther, for every single piece of his guitars is amazing in sound, so i guess he knows what he does.

the guitar is about... 20% done yet. it will take another month or two untill it is done.

to see a few examples of this luthiers guitars, go check http://www.neubauerguitars.com

my guitar will have carvings in the style of this les paul (which was also made by my luthier):
