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.
Bonnie Raitt, a respected slide guitarist and interpreter of the blues, reached a commercial peak with 1989's Nick of Time, which won the Grammy for Album of the Year, and she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. The Dixie Chicks, now known as The Chicks, became one of the best-selling female groups in American music history with the diamond-certified albums Wide Open Spaces and Fly, blending bluegrass instrumentation with mainstream country. Barbara Mandrell, a multi-instrumentalist who brought country music to a national television audience with her early-1980s variety series, became the first artist to win the CMA Entertainer of the Year award twice and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2009.
