Eddie Van Halen Signed 9/24/04 Stage-Used & Hand-Striped 2004 "Bumblebee" Guitar
Eddie Van Halen 9/24/04 Stage-Used & Hand-Striped 2004 Charvel "Bumblebee" Guitar
This exceptional 2004 Charvel "Bumblebee" guitar was stage-played by Eddie Van Halen during the Van Halen concert in Little Rock, Arkansas, on September 24, 2004. Personally hand-striped by Van Halen himself, the guitar features a striking black and yellow design, paying tribute to his iconic "Bumblebee" guitar from Van Halen II.
The guitar boasts a maple neck and fingerboard, a Fender Stratocaster-style headstock, and a chrome "Charvel / EVH / Art Series" neck plate engraved with serial number "50." The front of the body is inscribed and signed in black Sharpie:
"Little Rock, Arkansas / 9.24.04 / Eddie Van Halen / Van Halen 2004"
As part of Charvel’s 25th Anniversary Art Series, this limited-edition guitar was introduced during the 2004 Van Halen Reunion Tour. Although the series was originally planned for 300 guitars, it is widely believed that significantly fewer were actually produced. Each guitar in the series was uniquely hand-striped by Van Halen, inspired by one of his three legendary guitars:
"Frankenstein" Mark I – White with black stripes (Van Halen, 1978)
"Bumblebee" – Black with yellow stripes (Van Halen II, 1979)
"Frankenstein" Mark II – Red with black and white stripes (1980s onward)
This rare piece of rock history comes with authentication from Eddie Van Halen himself, as well as a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
