Mean Street Custom Shop

 


Welcome to the Mean Street Guitars Custom Shop

~Specializing in EVH style guitars~

My goal: To build you the best custom guitar I possibly can. When it's said and done, I want the guitar you bought from me to increase in value over the years.   


Most custom order guitar builds include bodies and necks from Musikraft & South East Guitars

I also use Warmoth, Mighty Mite and other quality parts from various other companies located in the USA. 


Custom Paint

(The wait time as of today is around 4 to 6 months, this is only an estimate)

(Deposits for custom ordered guitars are non-refundable)


 I use only professional high-quality urethane paints such as House of Kolor & PPG for all custom painting, clear coating & airbrushing. All finishes are clear coated & buffed to a high gloss & matte (non-gloss) clears are also available. Custom graphics are signed & dated under the neck plate.

"Sand-Out" Clear Coat

This is a non-reflective clear coat that is the same as the gloss coat as far as protection but there is no reflection, no worries about fingerprints and even scratches can be removed in seconds!  Click here for side-by-side comparison.


Intruder & Exile models

Here's the deal with the Exile and Intruder models...I had these made by a company in California...approximately 25 of each color. Some of them need final clearing but the tops are already dyed. Some of the colors I'm out of and don't offer anymore. Once these are sold out, I don't plan on stocking these models anymore because of the "Made in Japan" EVH Wolfgang models and other models out in the market. I can have custom orders made of the same models by one of my builders, but the time it takes to build, add the quilt top, then dye and clear them, it becomes cheaper to buy the MIJ EVH Wolfgang, etc.. I also use these same models if any customer wants a non-quilted paint job. It's cost effective this way for me and especially the customer. So for instance, if you want an Exile or Intruder model, and say you want to change the position of the switch, volume knob, etc. this is available as a fully "custom order" and is more expensive than the stock models that I offer. 

Unchained & 78 models

I do not offer the Unchained or 78 models in a "kit" form. 

I did offer this when I first started selling this style of guitar back in 1999-2002.


Holoflash Finishes

Want a custom paint job that will blow your mind? Holoflash!

Holoflash is one of the most brilliant finishes ever! Light reflecting from its surface covers every possible color in the rainbow. To really appreciate the brilliance and visual effect of the Holoflash finish, you must see it in person. I have included several pictures of guitars that I've painted with the Holoflash finish in the Mean Gallery so you can begin to understand the color change that occurs with just the slightest movement or change in lighting...it is amazing! It was first made famous by "THE" Kramer Guitar company back in the day. Now it's available again here at Mean Street Guitars...As you can see from the pictures in the Gallery, I have taken it to another level. These are just a few examples of what I can do for your guitar. You can come up with your own design and I'll duplicate it for you. Also available in Chrome, Gold, Copper, Blue & Red just to name a few and you can also order just about any color you want as I can usually mix in some wild stuff...like the Black Fusion shown on the Unchained page. The Crushed Pearls effect is another option and each color is totally different. Artwork is signed & dated. 


Remember, no two finishes are alike.

FYI:

Don't like floating trems? Try the Floyd Rose Trem Stop.

This is the perfect solution for stopping your trem from floating. Install this and your Floyd tremolo won't go out of tune from dive-bombing, resting your hand on the trem while you play or even when a string breaks!
