Minarik Guitars is a boutique electric guitar and bass builder founded by Marc Minarik (M.E. Minarik) and based in Las Vegas, Nevada. The company is known for visually striking, ornately decorated instruments that emphasize sculpted body shapes, inlay work, and custom finishes alongside traditional tone-wood construction.

The lineup is split between the Super Custom Series, hand-built in the United States to bespoke specifications, and the more affordable Studio X-treme Series produced through overseas partners. Recurring models include the Inferno (the brand's signature shape), the Diablo, the Goddess, and the Trinity, with one-off and limited-run pieces produced in collaboration with visual artists. A licensed limited run of Disney Haunted Mansion 50th Anniversary guitars is among the company's higher-profile custom projects.

Marc Minarik's path into building started as an endorsing musician, and the brand continues to position itself around artist collaboration rather than large-scale endorsement rosters. Players associated with the brand include Emily Burton of Fireball Ministry on a Diablo, Peter Alex Lust III of The Feisty Piranhas on a Diablo, and Dick Dale, who played custom Inferno models.

Minarik has 5 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars and Electric Basses. Their gear is featured by 6 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Funk / Soul. Notable users include Lemmy Kilmister, Claudio Sanchez, and Phil Campbell.
