As a lot of you know I'm a longtime fan of the almighty Bathory in all its incarnations. After talking to Ted of Darkthrone about Quorthon, the fire ignited inside me, an old plan to make a Quorthon guitar. He then passed on and sadly my dream was kinda abolished, but now I'm ressurecting the idea and building the ultimate tribute guitar: Excuse the really rough stage of this idea, this is what I do at work on my notepad haha. Anyway like I said this is the ultimate tribute guitar, both incorporating the goat of Bathory's first and the Viking hammer of latter albums. I'm going to make a limited number of castings and the body and headstock design(none yet) will be lined with real 22k goldflake. The pickups and bridge will be incorporated seamlessly into the design of the body (hence its not on the sketch), to make the lines smooth and complete. This is a huge project so there's no time limit on these, plus its not gonna be sold to just anyone but only to true fans of Quorthon (one of metal's most misunderstood and enigmatic musician). One special version will be donated to Black Mark and Boss as a memorial. Hope you all like and support this idea.

Stunning Marc, fantastic idea. This has already a big impact on me as a long time fan of Bathory. Bathory is one of the reasons Darkthrone even started. Bathory was always the music that got you thinking and the mind float away to some kind of endless plains where you must face death in one way or another. I put my self on the waiting list of yours even if it means waiting for 15 years.
