I did them for a while but that was years ago. TBH, by the time you’ve bought the materials, done a few test runs, prepped the guitar, dipped, cleared and finished the guitar you’d be looking at £££££.
I chatted to Al (outofthisswirled) about this recently and we pretty much agreed it’s not worth the money anymore. He stopped doing them a long time ago.
The one I video’d was a Chapman ML1 and tbh it didn’t come out how I wanted it to and that’s down to the random nature of the process. You could do 4-5 test runs and be really happy with the finish then the actual guitar comes out shockingly bad.

Notice how th black swirl fades towards the horns. It’s a clear sign they didn’t use enough paint or didn’t have a large enough surface area to allow the paint to spread

I believe he's going to be taking on commissions shortly.
Theyre awesome to look at the chances of owning a swirl as your first, second or third choice of guitar is fairly remote

I'll find someone in the end, I'm in no rush, it's just going to be a very rarely used guitar and I really like the surh but the body shape - I'd much rather have a more traditional super strat shape.
