Dmitry Sushkov Posted December 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Wahlgaard means walnut guard in Sweden. The customer is Ragne Wahlquist, guitarist and co-founder of old and well known Swedish metal band Heavy Load, performed a reunion for an album release and several shows across Europe in 2018. Wahlquist means walnut leave in Sweden. My very first build in 1995 was a walnut explorer. So you know what a walnut smell means for me after a year of repairs. A new build. I allways preferred something unusual. This time it's 9-strings baritone solidbody carved top instrument with some interesting wiring ideas. Stay tuned, I'll post every progress step here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmitry Sushkov Posted December 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 The first version of Wahlgaard was built through 2017 as a prototype (fully functional though). Based on this experience we made some adjustments and improvements for new version build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyjr1515 Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Nice top! I had a similar cut of walnut with the dark figuring and quilting on one of my acoustics. Once it was sanded and the finish applied everything just popped out! I get the feeling yours will come out similarly but with the additional bonus of the devils head 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
