Where to swirl my JP7???

[buckethead777]

Well i decided to send away my JP7 for a swirl treatment, but dont know who does it these days.
Darren from ATD has become a little unreliable (read about it here)
I just wanna swirl the body, not the headstock as its a all rosewood BFR neck.
Any pointers blokes?
Thanks

what was the outcome with that Darren Guy or hasn't it been resolved yet? It's too long to read

 

[buckethead777]

He finished most of the work, as few of the guys began legal action against him.
This one bloke from Japn waited 40 months for get his 10 guitars done.Only bodies ended up being finished, not necks.
Pity, cause Darren used to be #1 at this.

If you want to send it to Canada, I'll swirl it for you. I've swirled a few guitars with good results. I have some pictures of one of my Ibanez

If you want some references, Rich Harris from Ibanez Rules and Glen from Jemsite. I'm YaYoGakk on Jemsite.

Aaarrrh my eyes,

I can't remember who said it here about swirling (I think it was about Norrin Rad's JP he had swirled)

Swirling - it's like walt disney threw up !

Dude, those look sick! I've always wanted a Blue/Black/White-type swirl, like AirGuitar on JP's forum. His is awesome, too.

That's some damn nice work!

Excellent job A.J.!

 

[buckethead777]

A.J. Those are unreal! I'll pm you later mate.

Im the mean time, this is the sort of swirl i'm after. Nice thick swirl. This exact one would be sweet.

Respectfully, I don't get the whole swirl thing. Why?

Just different, different strokes for different folks

 

[73h Nils]

Because no other guitar will ever look the same and you can put your own preferences together; that aside, I've seen some HIDEOUS ones before

 

[musikarero]

I think it looks pretty cool.....the idea of it being like no other is a huge plus!

 

[Norrin Radd]

AJ - that is some awesome work! That BWG makes me really miss my JP swirl.

 

[buckethead777]

Norrin, who did your JP?

 

[Norrin Radd]

Herc Fede of Fede Designs - don't know if they are still around though. The website link I have is dead.

 

[Slav123]

Herc Fede was always considered the best and from my knowledge was responsible for the Steve Vai swirled Jems including the DNA Jem guitar.
I think that this might be the current link to his site:

FedeCustomShop - Custom shop

Good luck!

No. Darren did the majority of the Ibanez swirling. My favorite swirls are all ATD swirls.

Thanks for the clarification, was it Darren Johansen or Darren Michaels? I found this site:

Darren Johansen of ATD

So, Herc only did aftermarket swirls? With no involvement with Vai?

Thanks,

That JP swirl is outrageous!
