<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Evh Musicman, serial number 81631</b><br /> <br /> Evh Musicman, serial number 81631<br /> <br /> I just picked this up yesterday after 5 years of knowing it was sitting in my local guitar shop. (Was always too expensive for me. I was told that this guitar belonged to Eddie himself and that he played the concert with it here in Zürich Switzerland.<br /> Would be great to know from the serial number if there was any proof that this guitar was used by Eddie.<br /> It was signed once upon a time but the original owner let it fade off. He won a local competition to come onstage at the end of the concert in the Hallenstadion and be handed the guitar by Eddie.<br /> I’ve been a fan of Van Halen ever since I started playing and it’s surreal to know that I’m playing a guitar that he played. Feels like an artifact from another universe to me as I’ve never seen Van Halen live in concert and just grew up watching old YouTube videos of him.<br /> I always wanted one of these and finally have an amazing example.<br /> I’m the second owner if you don’t don’t count the guitar store.<br /> I also have a mm majesty artisan azzurro. Big difference in these guitars but quality is amazing on both.</div>
