Do they make these without the EVH stripes?

Yup, the stripes are the only thing marring that steaming pile of loveliness.

Kinda like making a Batmobile and painting it light blue.
Edward (RIP brother) told the story behind this Ibanez Destroyer. He decided to cut a shark mouth in it and repaint it to make it look mean. After he did, the removal of the wood behind the bridge completely killed the "balls" in the tone, and he didn't like it after that.
But it was a great guitar to pose for pics with.

the mighty Guitar Wolf is correct when he says the most important thing about a guitar is that it looks cool
he goes on to state that red guitars are usually the best- but i disagree with that part
You're in good company. Jimmy Wilsey (RIP) positively hated red guitars.

Referring to (My brother) I read the "balls" story in guitar player too, I believe.
Something Jimmy and I discussed at length and agreed to disagree on.
I freakin’ LOVE red guitars. And I don’t currently have one… hmmm…

I also read that story years ago.
Boy, he really wore his guitar low in the old days. By the time he was on to Strats or his signature line he wore it pretty high for a rocker. I like the low slung look but what do I know?
I had a candy apple red one that I re-finished in Arctic White while I was working at a body shop.
Great guitar, it was my number one until some jerk stole it.

With or without the stripes I'd be tempted-----
to toss it in the dumpster.
