Exclusively Van Halen: Skip's Music Auction Features Eddie Van Halen smashed Kramer! 12/7/24

https://youtube.com/live/4PR7lkbETbQ Arthur “Skip” Maggiora, the late entrepreneur and beloved local music legend behind Skip's Music in Sacramento, California, left an enduring legacy in the music world. Over the years, he curated an extraordinary collection of vintage guitars, many of which were played by legendary artists such as Eddie Van Halen and Gene Simmons. Now, this remarkable collection—comprising approximately 150 instruments—will be featured in a live charity auction starting December 17. Maggiora, who passed away last year after a long battle with kidney disease, envisioned using his passion for music to give back. In honor of his legacy, all proceeds from the auction will benefit music and youth-focused charities. The collection boasts several rare and historically significant guitars, including a 1954 Fender Stratocaster Sunburst from the instrument's inaugural production year and a 1955 Fender Strat in a striking metallic green finish. Among the standout pieces are two Van Halen treasures: a 1980s Kramer EVH Prototype, signed and famously smashed by Eddie Van Halen, and a late-1980s Kramer Monsters of Rock Baretta, signed by Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, Michael Anthony, and Sammy Hagar. This auction offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for collectors and fans to own a piece of music history while supporting the causes Skip Maggiora held close to his heart. “Exclusively Van Halen" is the ultimate destination for all things Van Halen.
