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.
Bands such as Bad Company, Foreigner, Journey, Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi and Scorpions span the period from the mid-1970s through the early 1990s, when hard rock and heavy metal became a dominant commercial force in popular music and a fixture of arena and stadium touring worldwide. Albums such as Def Leppard's Hysteria and Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet sold millions of copies and carried guitar-driven rock onto mainstream radio and MTV, building on the polished arena rock sound that Journey and Foreigner had established in the late 1970s. Concert tickets from this era document the scale of live touring that sustained these acts, a landscape that began to shift in the early 1990s with the rise of grunge and alternative rock.
Condition: Good with signs of use.
