We finished the Lightning Dragon today, and it looks great.

We put the strings on and polished it.

It is very loud.

Putting on Lightning and Spots






We cut some lightning and red spots out of some vinyl.





We stuck them all over the guitar and then sprayed it with lacquer in the garage.















It is starting to look really good now.

Painting The Body Shiny Yellow

The Front
This week we have painted the guitar body yellow.

Then we put lots of varnish on to make it shiny.

We have made it look quite old and there are paint dribbles.

We are going to put red dots on today.

Painting The Body

Today we did some sanding to get the old name off the neck, and to get the red paint off the body.

Then we did dome painting.

The guitar is going to be yellow, but it looks a bit green so far.

Starting By Getting The Parts

The first thing we need to do is to get parts for the Lightning Dragon.

So far it is going slowly, but we do have a nice neck and a bright red body.

We are going to paint it yellow and gold polka dots with lightning.


Here are some photographs of the parts and Peppa Pig









Welcome To Dragon Guitars

A couple of year's ago, we spent our summer holiday making a guitar.

It was lot's of fun and it was called The Fire Dragon.

Now it is my turn to make a guitar with by Brother and my Dad.

Mine is going to be called The Lightning Dragon.

Here are some photographs of The Fire Dragon.

When we were building it, we wrote for a web site about it Here
