Two of Eddie Van Halen’s Guitars Are Going to Auction
Eddie Van Halen is one of the greatest guitar players of all time. In addition to an incredible legacy, the revolutionary guitar virtuoso also left behind two guitars that are set to head to auction later this year. The new dynamic duo of Julien’s Icons & Idols Trilogy: Rock ‘N’ Auction are a 2004 EVH Charvel Art Series electric guitar (hand-striped, maple neck and fingerboard, Fender Stratocaster-style headstock) and a custom axe serial number F 0024 that Van Halen built himself with his guitar tech Matt Buick in his 5150 home studio. In addition to those two iconic pieces, this auction also includes a number of other memorable pieces of memorabilia. Kurt Cobain’s stage played and smashed black Fender Stratocaster guitar used on Nirvana’s 1994 In Utero Tour. Michael Jackson’s white nylon right-hand glove adorned with hand-sewn Swarovski crystals. Aerosmith’s 1993 MTV Video Music Award Moonman for the Viewers’ Choice Award for the single “Cryin’.” Julien’s Icons & Idols Trilogy: Rock ‘N’ Roll Auction takes place live and online December 4th and 5th. Eddie Van Halen’s guitars are expected to fetch $40,000 – $80,000 each.
