Swirl Paint Jobs - What ever happened to....

[kirk]

Since the emergence of Darren & ATD on Jemsite, the DNA swirls and the marketing of Darren's "swirl services," it seems that noone has been talking about Herc Fede.

Does anyone here still use Herc's services? *Is Herc still doing swirl/custom work? *Have I been asleep for a year or what?

From last I saw on his website, he was taking on a *big project and wouldnt be taking orders for a while. I emailed him with a question months ago about a swirl job (sounds kinky) and never heard from him.

I haven't spoken to him in a month or two. He really was phasing out of the "refinishing" business, before the DNA was even rumored or known. The ultimate reason I cannot tell, but probably time demands were one. I know he will do some work here or there but the days of pumping out guitars seems over. When/if my final custom body is finished Herc will be doing some work on the body/neck but that is over a year late now... glen

He emailed me a few weeks ago and said his webpage would be overhauled very soon and shot me some estimates on some work. Didn't sound like he was phasing out to me..... but a year late.....Jeez....
