Guitar Top Of The Costs
One of the world's most expensive guitars has riffed its way to the UK.
Made of rare wood and inlaid with precious stones, the PRS Dragon costs around £33,000.
It has been crafted from a chunk of rare Brazilian mahogany in a factory in the US and is considered more art than axe.
Only 70 of the guitars are to be built worldwide - and only three will be sold to the UK.
The hefty price tag comes from the hundreds of hours spent building the instrument and the mother-of-pearl, silver and gold used in the dragon design.
But the Dragon is not the most valuable guitar in the world.
That record is held by Eric Clapton's former Fender strat, nicknamed Blackie.
It sold at auction in New York earlier this year for around £530,000.
