Provenance/Authenticity: Randall "Zeke" Clark is a renowned luthier and legendary guitar/amp technician who got his start in the San Francisco music scene in the 70s, working with various A-list artists until moving to LA in the 80s, where he worked for Eddie Van Halen.
From 1985 to 1993, he served as Edward Van Halen’s lead guitar and amp tech, transitioning to the crew with Sammy Hagar to maintain the band's gear through the monumental 5150, OU812, and For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge eras.
Beyond his historic tenure as the custodian of Eddie's tone, Clark's elite five-decade career includes building, repairing, and maintaining specialized gear for iconic artists such as Prince, Sammy Hagar, Journey, Heart, Poison, and others. This curated selection of items offers collectors a unique and direct connection to rock history through the hands of a master craftsman who shaped the sound of guitar royalty.
This item was personally handled, vetted, and released by Zeke Clark, ensuring its authenticity and rock-history provenance. Zeke Clark utilizes an Official Personal Signature Stamp to validate and inventory documents and artifacts released directly from his private estate. This item comes with his personal ink-imprinted signature stamp on the certificate of authenticity, which serves as his legally binding, authorized mark of verification and carries the full weight of a hand-signed signature.
Formed in Rockford, Illinois, in the 1970s, Cheap Trick paired power-pop melody with hard rock energy, broke through with the 1978 live album "Cheap Trick at Budokan," and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016. The band's longstanding Beatles influence led to its full live performances of The Beatles' 1967 album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" marking the record's 40th anniversary, beginning with orchestra-backed shows at the Hollywood Bowl in 2007 and continuing into a Las Vegas run. These performances were documented on the 2009 release "Sgt. Pepper Live," which recreated in concert an album The Beatles themselves never performed on stage.
