Eddie Van Halen's Guitar Tech Zeke Clark Reveals Historic Van Halen Collection (Part 1)
from The Johnny Beane Podcast · host Johnny Beane
Part 1 - On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV, we're joined by the legendary Zeke Clark, Eddie Van Halen's longtime guitar tech, for an incredible behind-the-scenes look at his current Backstage Auctions event. Zeke takes us through some of the rarest and most historic pieces from his personal collection, sharing the unforgettable stories behind each item. Highlights include Edward Van Halen-owned and used Marshall amplifiers, the Silvertone amplifier heard on "Finish What You Started," Marshall cabinets that Zeke personally wired with speakers, and the fascinating history behind them. He also showcases two Kramer guitars he built while auditioning to become Eddie's guitar tech—one with a maple neck and one with a rosewood neck—which later served as studio backup guitars for Eddie Van Halen. The stories continue with an Eddie Van Halen-gifted Rolex Submariner, an ultra-rare Van Halen logo ring presented to Zeke by Eddie (with pyro legend John Watkins being the only other known recipient), and the EVH Dunlop Signature Phase 90 and EVH Signature Flanger pedals that Eddie personally gifted Zeke years after they worked together. If you're a Van Halen fan or collector, this is a once-in-a-lifetime look at rock history told by someone who lived it. Don't miss Zeke's incredible memories, the stories behind these legendary artifacts, and be sure to check out the current Backstage Auctions event! #VanHalen #EddieVanHalen #ZekeClark #BackstageAuctions
