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.
Eddie Van Halen changed rock guitar from the late 1970s onward, popularizing two-handed tapping on the 1978 instrumental "Eruption" and building his own hybrid instruments in pursuit of what he called his "brown sound." After Sammy Hagar replaced David Lee Roth, Van Halen reached new commercial heights: 5150 (1986), OU812 (1988) and For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (1991) each topped the Billboard 200, and the last won the Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance. Eddie's constant experimentation with guitars, amplifiers and effects made the technicians who maintained his rig central to how that sound was delivered night after night on tour.
Condition: Used, sold as-is, with velcro applied to the bottom, pedal does light up with a blue light.
