Eddie Van Halen appears on the cover and is the featured interview in the December issue of Guitar Aficionado Magazine, which hits newsstands the week of December 2nd.
The story spotlights a personal tour of Eddie’s favorite guitars.
Guitar Aficionado intersects all areas of a modern luxury lifestyle - autos, fine wine, architecture, travel - with the guitar as the common denominator.
A rare Eddie Van Halen guitar is among the items up for bids next month as part of the first rock and roll offering by California auction house Profiles In History.
Eddie Van Halen's 1982 Kramer Frankenstrat is one of eight handmade, red-and-white guitars ever produced; it was used during Van Halen's 1982-1983 Diver Down Tour and recording of its most successful album, "1984."
Van Halen's signature is inscribed on the guitar's neck. Its presale estimate is $100,000 to $150,000, with part of the proceeds going to benefit guitarist Jason Becker and the Jason Becker Special Needs Trust to assist him and his family in his battle against ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease).
Also available is Eddie’s handwritten musical notation to his iconic guitar solo, “Eruption.”
