Exclusively Van Halen: The EVH Kramer Guitar few knew about. Part 3 🎸 7/3/25

🎸 Tonight on Exclusively Van Halen — it’s the thrilling conclusion of our 3-part deep dive with Michael “Myko” Gutierrez and Robert Stoltz! We’re opening up one of the rarest and most mysterious guitars in Van Halen history — a custom-painted Kramer Baretta, crafted at 5150 in 1984 by none other than Eddie Van Halen himself and his legendary tech Rudy Leiren. 🔥 This wasn’t a stage guitar. This was Ed’s personal studio-only axe, kept behind closed doors — until now. For the first time ever, we’re taking off the back control plate and going inside this iconic instrument! 🎁 Michael won this holy grail of guitars in a once-in-a-lifetime contest from Kramer Guitars and Guitar for the Practicing Musician magazine — and got it straight from Eddie’s hands at the 1985 NAMM Show in Anaheim! 🧠 Robert, one of the top Van Halen historians, first told this guitar’s story back in 1997 for The Inside magazine — and now he’s back with a brand-new, ultra-detailed follow-up article launching soon! 🎤 Don’t miss this unforgettable final chapter of a true Van Halen legend — only on Johnny Beane TV! #ExclusivelyVanHalen #KramerGuitars #EddieVanHalen #VanHalenHistory #JohnnyBeaneTV #GuitarLegends #EVH
