As an homage to Eddie Van Halen, Journey guitarist Neal Schon has shared a video of himself freestyling on an EVH Striped Series guitar.

"A little tribute to Ed," Schon posted to Instagram. "It was so amazing to be on Van Halen's first tour with him. I watched him annihilate every single night and was grateful I didn't have to follow him."

Schon first witnessed Eddie's jaw-dropping skills on the guitar in 1978 when Van Halen was the supporting act for Journey while on the band's Infinity tour.

Ok, I'm bored

10 GUITARS GWEN WOULD DO UNSPEAKABLE THINGS TO OWN

Gibson DG-335 (Original Run)

I'm not secretive about this, but one of my major inspirations is Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters. This, based on the Trini Lopez 335 with modifications, is one of his weapons of choice. No hate to the Epiphone DG-335 (In fact I'd actually like to have one of those since it's a model I can actually fucking afford) but this would be the prize jewel of my collection

Gibson Explorer (With caveats)

While I love this thing, I do want some features not available on standard Explorers. Mainly, a volute (Added material at the midpoint of the neck and Headstock), a set of Burstbucker pickups (or similar PAF pickups), and in Shell Pink.

Fender Nocaster (Either Vintera II or original)

A Tele without a name, which happened because of a copyright Grestch held on the original name, the Broadcaster. I also just like Telecasters, and TBH, these are just cool bits of history.

Fender Kurt Cobain Jaguar

Nirvana is a band I have found a love for. Kurt Cobain was a genius on the guitar, and I find he and Grohl influence a lot of my style on guitar. This is one of his many modified guitars, and I personally really want it, especially for the upgrades like the Tune-O-Matic bridge and separate volumes for the pickups.

ESP E-II Eclipse

While I by no means am a metalhead, I do really enjoy "Metal" guitars. Stuff like the Explorer, ESPs lineup, even something like the 5150 amp. This is a beautiful thing, a pastiche of the ebony Les Paul Custom with modern features like EMG pickups, a volute, and a thinner body.

Epiphone Les Paul Custom (Birth Year)

Speaking of, this beautiful thing. As much as I love a guitar that makes my wallet scream in terror, I like the simple stuff too. I love the Les Paul shape, and the man behind the guitar was invaluable. Seeing this guitar up on a wall with the name "Les Paul" under it is an inspiration.

EVH SA-126

I actually saw this guitar before it was released. Wolfgang Van Halen, son of the incredible Eddie Van Halen, was at Rockville 2024 with a road testing prototype. Playing one of these in a Guitar Center was unreal, because it felt so light and growled through the amp. Plus, look at it. It's beautiful.

Martin D-18e (Replica)

A odd choice, certainly. I mean, these are mega expensive and rare, and the one pictured here is the awe-inspiring model played by Kurt Cobain in Nirvana's MTV Unplugged concert. But, there's the rub. I don't want an original. As a challenge, I want to recreate this with a cheaper Dreadnought acoustic, the exact pickup model (which are still sold), and any custom modifications needed to replicate that historic model, much like Nirvana Guitars did (minus the modifications Kurt Cobain and his guitar tech made such as the soundhole pickup.)

Schecter Ultra (Pelham Blue)

Again, I like metal guitar gear. Schecter Guitar Research is one of those companies I've heard good things about, but as someone who doesn't really vibe with S-style guitars, I don't really look too much for their stuff. This is different. It adds elements of the Gibson Firebird, Telecaster, all with modern features and a beautiful look.

Gibson/Epiphone SG Special (Pelham Blue)

I just really like the SG body shape. It's fucking devil horns. With all my talk of how much I love this, is it a surprise it's on here? Although, honestly, I showed the Gibson version because the Epiphone version is relatively cheap, especially in comparison to their recent output (Fuck you, Epiphone Ripper being $1000+), so the Gibson version would probably be a bit more out of reach.

Fun fact : Eddie Van Halen once drove a tank through Beverly Hills to Fred Durst's house and pulled a gun on him.

Durst reportedly met Van Halen at a party, during which a record-label executive suggested they team up together. As documented by Bennett, the Limp Bizkit vocalist was thrilled by the idea, and said: "That would be hilarious. The greatest guitar player ever plays with the worst band ever". In response, Van Halen said “Fuck it, let’s jam.” The pair met up at Durst's house in Beverly Hills and began jamming, although EVH soon found himself disappointed, and described the experience as like "being a scholar amongst kindergartners". Apparently, the session soon turned into a drug-orientated escapade, as the band started to smoke weed. As he wasn't a fan of the drug, Halen shortly left the jam, and accidentally left his musical equipment, such as his guitars and amps, behind him. The next day, the guitarist tried to contact Durst to retrieve his belongings, but was ignored, which he found upsetting. After waiting another 24 hours, Halen decided to fetch his gear himself, with added precautions to make sure he wouldn't leave empty handed.  In his book, Bennett writes: “Eddie once bought an assault vehicle from a military auction. It has a shine gun mount on the back and is not legal. Eddie drove that assault vehicle through L.A., into Beverly Hills, then parked and left it running on the front lawn of the house Limp Bizkit was rehearsing in.  "He got out wearing no shirt, his hair in a Samurai bun on top of his head, his jeans held up with a strand of rope and combat boots held together by duct tape. And he had a gun in his hand.” Retelling the moment from Van Halen's perspective, he continues, “'That asshole answered the door. I put my gun to that stupid fucking red hat of his, and I said, ‘Where’s my shit, motherfucker?’ That fucking guy just turned to one of his employees and starts yelling at him to grab my shit...' "Eddie Van Halen stood on the front lawn of a residential home in Beverly Hills in broad daylight, smoking a cigarette while holding a gun on Fred Durst as he went back and forth from the house to the assault vehicle, lugging amps and guitars.”

🎸 Welcome to my video! 🎸

Today, I’m comparing two EVH 5150 M1 amps: one with 6L6 tubes (2015) and one with EL34 tubes (2018). Using a Schecter Elite SLS 7-string and Mesa Boogie IR in a Torpedo, I’ve matched the settings on both amps.

Wolfgang EVH SA-126 Signature Guitar - Revealed on EVH's Birthday

In a tribute to the legendary Eddie Van Halen, Wolfgang Van Halen unveils the eagerly anticipated EVH SA-126 signature guitar. This landmark release coincides with Eddie Van Halen’s birthday, adding a deeper layer of significance to the launch. After extensive testing on tour, Wolfgang’s dream guitar is now a reality. Wolfgang EVH SA-126 Nearly two years of anticipation culminate with the arrival…

[fuckyeahvanhalen86-95]

EVH has updated its MIJ Series with the Signature Wolfgang electric guitar – a model that finds itself between the premium USA and affordable Mexican-made iterations of the Wolfgang template.

But this version of Eddie Van Halen's signature guitar is not only notable for its middle-ground price bracket and its faithful spec sheet – its Japanese origins are also significant.

Japan is, after all, a country whose guitar-building exploits are closely linked with Eddie Van Halen, who throughout his career played numerous models that were built in the Fujigen factory.

Examples of Van Halen's own assortment of Japanese-built guitars include his bolt-on Flying V and lbanez destroyer, as well as an assortment of Japanese Strats.

This MIJ Wolfgang, then, takes on an even greater layer of meaning for Van Halen fans.

Arriving in the same classic Ivory and Stealth Black colorways found on the USA Edward Van Halen Signature, the MIJ model also features an identical basswood body with Big Leaf maple top, as well as a bolt-on quartersawn maple neck.

The neck profile, as was the case with the USA six-strings, has been crafted to Van Halen’s exacting specifications, and is complemented with a 12”-16” compound radius ebony fingerboard that flashes 22 stainless steel frets.

It’s worth noting the Stealth Black version is adorned with pearloid dot inlays, while the Ivory variant opts for pearloid block inlays.

Other direct similarities to the top-of-the-line Wolfgang include the EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo with EVH D-Tuna, R2 locking nut, heel-mount truss rod wheel and 25.5” scale length.

In the electronics department, EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 bridge and Alnico 3 neck humbuckers are wired to a three-way toggle switch and a kill switch. The volume control features a low-friction pot and treble bleed circuit, while the tone knob has a high-friction pot to avoid accidental rolls.

The MIJ Wolfgangs have been a long time coming, after EVH co-runner Matt Bruck told Guitar World of the brand’s plans to reignite its Japanese links.

“Ed’s history with Japanese guitars predates Van Halen’s records,” Bruck said at the time. “He played a bolt-on Flying V and an Ibanez Destroyer during the club days, which were both built by Fujigen. People also don’t know that Ed did a lot of experiments on Japanese Strats before and after the first record.”

“We’re super-excited to do something with Fujigen and for the Japanese market. People in America and around the world will be able to access those models, too.”

As mentioned above, the MIJ Signature Wolfgang sits between the $4k USA model and $750 Mexican version, and will be available for $2,699.
