I just received the guitar body, and man...Wooowww

It looks wonderful! You are an artist I must
say!!! The colors are so intense, the swirl so defined, and the finish so shiny and perfect... Really a work of art.

It is a pleasure just to look at it! I think I may put it in the center of my living room that is how gorgeous it is...just kidding...my wife wouldn't want that.......Woman!!!

swirled Ibanez


Rob Hayes (UK)

What a great day it was when the guitar body arrived. I sat looking at it for hours on end, you just can't take your eyes off it. For years I dreamed of owning my own guitar with an amazing swirl finish on it and thanks to the amazing artist here, Alan, my dream is now true. I also have an ATD swirl but this one is MILES BETTER the clear coat is awesome the best I've seen. There's nothing to be said here that could ever do justice to this man's art all I will say is that if you want one there is no one better to do the job than this guy, and a
nice guy too, very helpful and excellent service all round. I will be using this guitar on the new album I'm recording,
The end result is
WILD....RADICAL.... OUTOFTHISSWIRLED.........
Thanks Al- Rob Hayes.

swirled ibanez Ulrich


Ulrich (Rome ITALY)

Wow. I can honestly say WOW! This has got to be one of the best looking swirls
I've ever seen, and really Alan, it is at least equal to the famous Millennium swirl DNA, I kid you not. I have no words to say how happy I am, every little nuance of the body is a pleasure to the eye. I cannot find enough good words.
I have been admiring it for half an hour, and I still have to turn my head every once
in a while as I'm writing right now - yes it is almost addictive.
I think that pictures do not do justice to this thing, it looks so much better
in real life than on screen.

You made my day Al, I could get lost into this swirl, the more I look at it the more
I love it, amazing.

HAGO! Ulrich

Al. Your swirls really are the worst I've ever seen, I cannot believe you call yourself a swirler!
Against my ATD's they look like a 4 year old has done them, your a fake and also what's far
worse is you're a brummy and you talk funny!

Having said all that the 2 swirls I already have from you aren't enough so hurry up with my new PAW!

You slacker!

gmc swirl


Max Cottam (UK)

Hi Al

Many, many thanks for the GMC swirl and clearcoat
The swirl is fantastic and just like an original - probably better!
And the clearcoat is top drawer - thicker, flatter and doesn't chip and
bubble away from the paint like the originals did........

I've seen and owned loads of swirls in my time and this is way up there with
the best (Darren & Herc)

Even had to dig my old GMC T-shirt out for the pic - LOL!

Hi Al, Just to say thanks yet again for the awesome swirl work you did on my Deluxe Strat.....Stripping the lovely original Tobacco Sunburst finish was a tough decision to make but knowing you for many years I knew you would not let me down as your passion for your work and guitars in general is awe inspiring....the swirl you created is way beyond what I expected and turns heads every time it appears at gigs....the only problem is that people are more interested in the guitar than the band now !!

Cheers mate.

 

 
swirled Ibanez lizard


Big Bad Sam from Amsterdam
(Neatherlands)

Back in the days when Ibanez DNA swirls where just released, I used to look for hours and hours at the DNA page from Darren, the original swirler. Some swirls I liked, some swirls not so much. Then I saw a swirl with a very chaotic black/ white, almost stone like background, with lines floating above it. I immediately fell in love with it! and wanted one of those gorgeous swirls. I found out Darren called it a lizard swirl, because of the texture. Since there are VERY few of those type swirls, I searched and searched. No swirls of that kind were for sale in a long time. I asked dozens of swirlers if they could replicate the effect. Some came close, but never the full 100%. Until I met Alan of OOTS. Alan takes swirling to the next level. It is just unbelievable. every time I pick up my guitar, and get inspired by a true piece of art.

Thank you Alan!
