Eddie Van Halen 9/24/04 & 9/25/04 Stage Used & Hand Striped 2004 Charvel Bumblebee Guitar.
The guitar features a maple neck and fingerboard, Fender Stratocaster-style headstock, and chrome-colored "Charvel / EVH / Art Series" neck plate with serial number "49."
This guitar has a yellow body with a unique, black and yellow hand-striped design by Van Halen in tribute to his "Bumblebee" guitar.
The front of the body is signed and inscribed in black sharpie: "Little Rock Arkansas / 9.24.04 / Dallas, Texas/ 9.25.04 / Eddie Van Halen / Van Halen 2004”.
Eddie Van Halen actually hand striped this guitar, being the early 2004 charvel guitar. Played on stage by him during the 9/24/04 & 9/25/04 concerts.
The EVH Charvel Art Series guitar was released as part of Charvel 25th Anniversary celebrations during the 2004 Van Halen Reunion Tour. The limited-edition guitars were numbered in a series from 001 to 300, though it is believed that significantly fewer were actually produced. Each guitar is unique, with a hand-striped design by Van Halen in tribute to one of his three most famous guitars: "Frankenstein" Mark I, as used on the debut album "Van Halen" (white with black stripes,) "Bumblebee," as used on "Van Halen II" (black with yellow stripes,) and "Frankenstein" Mark II (red with black and white stripes.)
