Provenance/Authenticity: Randall "Zeke" Clark is a renowned luthier and legendary guitar/amp technician who got his start in the San Francisco music scene in the 70s, working with various A-list artists until moving to LA in the 80s, where he worked for Eddie Van Halen.
From 1985 to 1993, he served as Edward Van Halen’s lead guitar and amp tech, transitioning to the crew with Sammy Hagar to maintain the band's gear through the monumental 5150, OU812, and For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge eras.
Beyond his historic tenure as the custodian of Eddie's tone, Clark's elite five-decade career includes building, repairing, and maintaining specialized gear for iconic artists such as Prince, Sammy Hagar, Journey, Heart, Poison, and others. This curated selection of items offers collectors a unique and direct connection to rock history through the hands of a master craftsman who shaped the sound of guitar royalty.
This item was personally handled, vetted, and released by Zeke Clark, ensuring its authenticity and rock-history provenance. Zeke Clark utilizes an Official Personal Signature Stamp to validate and inventory documents and artifacts released directly from his private estate. This item comes with his personal ink-imprinted signature stamp on the certificate of authenticity, which serves as his legally binding, authorized mark of verification and carries the full weight of a hand-signed signature.
Creed, formed in Tallahassee, Florida, in 1994, became one of the most commercially successful American rock bands of the post-grunge era, and its 1999 album Human Clay debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and was later certified Diamond by the RIAA. The band's single "With Arms Wide Open" won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song, and guitarist Mark Tremonti's heavy, melodic riff writing became a defining sound of mainstream rock radio around the turn of the millennium. After Creed went on hiatus, Tremonti, bassist Brian Marshall and drummer Scott Phillips formed Alter Bridge in 2004 with vocalist Myles Kennedy, building a devoted international following, particularly in the UK and Europe, for a more technically ambitious, hard-rock-driven style.
