Vai's Green Meanie

[RattleHead]

My friend wants to paint his strat like Vai's green meanie and I was wondering if someone could help me help him out. He's looking to go with these guys to do it http://www.lgmguitars.com/pricing.html basically I was wondering what colour on there is the closest to the finish of the original guitar? I'm thinking lr. green 5507 but some of you have much more expertise so any help is appreciated.

I don't know, but the guitar was originally sunburst before he painted it green. [img]graemlins/fart.gif[/img] Check out Wayne Charvel's site for some pics of his replica and maybe compare the colors. http://www.wayneguitars.com/meanie_green.shtml

Or maybe go to Steve's site and see.

Boy, looking at color chips, espically on a computer, is fruitless.
Go to LA and find Steve, bang on his door till he shows you the guitar, and then decide.
Otherwise, wing that mother! Close will be close enough unless Steve shows up with his green meanie...

Re: Vai\'s Green Meanie

I got the chance to ask Vai about the Green Meanie. He told me he wound up selling it somewhere. When I asked where, he told me he didn't even remeber!

Re: Vai\'s Green Meanie

One of my old T.A.'s from undergrad won a couple of Vai's guitars on auctions. One was a prototype JEM and the other was a lightning bolt shaped guitar. Nothing to do with the Green Meanie. I just thought it was interesting.

Re: Vai\'s Green Meanie

Strange... [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] Didn't he cut out a hand grip in the green meanie? Also, wasn't the orange eyeball Jackson Sloloist stolen?
