Designs To Rival "The Wolfgang" By Eddie Van Halen


Digg this TrendStumble this TrendShare this TrendEmailthis TrendEmbed This TrendShare This Trend



Rockstar Eddie Van Halen claims he has reinvented the guitar. The Van Halen lead designed what he calls “the Wolfgang,” named after his son, who is also the band’s current bassist.

Eddie Van Halen was sick of his guitars wearing down, breaking or malfunctioning, so he decided to take matters into his own hands.

“On the Wolfgang, frets are fashioned of stainless steel, and metal gadgets are custom-made by a company that specializes in medical tools,” CNN says. “Sections of wood are left unpainted so the instrument can breathe and age—‘like a Stradivarius,’ the 54-year-old musician explains with a degree of pride.”

While Eddie Van Halen’s guitar is really cool, Trend Hunter has featured quite an extensive collective of innovative guitar designs too. Cycle through the cluster below for a few of the best.
