Guitarfrenzy Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 I was watching a woodworking show the other day on tv and the guy was building a bed... and on the headboard of the bed he used quilted walnut veneer... It was beautiful.. and was wondering if anyone else had seen a guitar that had been done with a quilted walnut top.. because I'm thinking about trying it out on a guitar I build later on..

Brian Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Yes I've seen a drop top done up in it, I forget the brand but it looked killer............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Yes, I've made a guitar with a highly figured Walnut top. I bleached it, then dyed it a slightly reddish hue, it seemed to need the red highlights to make it look 'guitar-worthy', otherwise it looked too much like a piece of furniture...I call it 'Bones', after Nigel Tufnel's T-shirt at the end of Spinal Tap. the figure in the wood looks very much like his 'rib-cage' T-shirt...

bassman Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 check out this page..... about half way down there is a killer flamed walnut top... If you go to the main page of this site then you can also go to the photo page and see some more cool pics of walnut tops. http://www.roballenguitars.com/pages/woodoptions.html peace, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
