    Default My Swirl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I’ve wanted a guitar with the swirl paint job for a long time but didn’t want to pay the 5-6k price tag. So I bought a 7 string and looked for someone who would do the job…basically had to search the WORLD!!!! Found a guy in England and one in Australia whom did good work…found one in the US who would swirl it and clear coat for about $500(which is normal…most guys would swirl the body without the clear coat for around $200.00). Finally I found a guy in Florida (Michael, livewireguitars.com) who not only would do the paint job with the clear coat, but for a bit more money would sell me the ENTIRE guitar!!!! Although the guitar is not in my hands yet I couldn’t be more pleased with the look…I should have it by next week!!! He also added the green decal and coated the head stock!

    That looks great. I like watching YouTube videos on the swirl process. It doesn't seem too complicated.

    Those videos are cool. He sent me photos as the project progressed and the clear coat made a huge difference.

    Got the guitar and must say that it plays and sounds awesome. I put Dimarzio D Activator pickups in the neck and Bridge. The finish is as good as anything the Ibanez factory can do!!! FYI, the guitar is the Ibanez RG7620. I like Michael at Livewires work so much that I'm having a 6 string made(Jem style:grip, lions claw bridge etc), That should be done in a couple of weeks

    JUST BOUGHT A KRAMER GUITAR AND WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT???

    It looks great - nice pattern to the colours.
    Sometimes you make a statement, and some bonehead comes in and references something that you aren't even talking about - I love that.

    That really looks great. Ever since day one I have been a fan of swirls but ESPECIALLY the purple one. Green like this is a close second. VERY nice!

    Very cool! I love swirl paintjobs, mostly because no two are exactly the same

    Swirls are hit or miss for me, that is definitely a hit.

    I agree, I've seen some that just don't look good at all. Especially if there done with two colors...They just look marbleized, although, I know some people like that I was going for the Ibanez Universe 20th anniversary look.
