Herc Fede here I come! Haha JK but here is my best. Right after I pulled the body out of the water, thats what my friend named it. Black Red and Yellow. It is a very clean swirl with some awesome designs.

No Clear coat, barely dry in the pics. Tell me what you think! PS (The lines you can see under the swirl are indentations from a previous attempt at an Eddie van Halen finish. My Friend brought it to me and said, swirl over it.)

I like it. I personally would gave gone for a bit less black for a more even colour distribution, but it's real good all the same.

Nice dude its beginning to look really good. Congrats. The details are looking much sharper and cleaner... I'm seeing the subtle Herc and ATD hints.

Hi RG, that's a huge progress from your first couple of swirls. Very good. Loving the black/red/yellow combo as well.

That's cool, did it used to be a frankenstrat copy ? i can see the faint tape lines underneath xD

Yes it is.

I mentioned that in my first post under the pictures if you would have read

Bet he wishes he rub it back and primed it again before swirling it.

What's with all the lines under the paint? They don't look like cavity covers or anything else I recognize.

that's mentioned in the first post.... his friend tried a frankenstrat copy but didn't like it so got him to swirl it.

on a further note i wonder if that would look good with white masked areas under that tape taken off - a swirl-frankenstrat

A frankenswirl would be pretty cool! Tape it off, swirl it, peel the tape and voila

Ok ! HERe she is. Frankenstein lines GONE. Clear coat looks great, all set up and ready to play. This guitar is now up for sale on a popular auction site, at a low low price.
