Eddie Van Halen's Guitar - Gifted to Jason Becker for Auction!!!

[@audiophileman7047]

This isn't just a wonderful, collectible guitar; it's an expression of great kindness and love from Eddie. I hope that someone buys the guitar and then gives it back to Jason. Now that would be an even greater expression of kindness and love! 😻

[@rayadray9279]

Yes I totally agree! That would be the best option for sure if someone would do this and give it back to Jason !....100% agree!

[@audiophileman7047]

If I could afford it, I would give it back to Jason. 👍👍👍 @@rayadray9279

We need to get Jim Irsay on the case. The man has plenty of cash to spare. Jason deserves to not have to worry about getting through everyday life.

[@JohnnyBeane]

I would see this guitar on the wall every time I would go to Jason ‘s house for his birthday parties. It’s an amazing guitar.

[@fasteddievh2072]

Even in death Ed is still giving back. So beautiful. 🔥🤘👍

[@JulianKroko]

Im in the background! Such a honor to have been able to listen to that guitar that day, it sounded truly amazing.

[@andredekorte1260]

This is amazing! Eddie was a wonderful soul and he was able to connect with Jason's soul. They understand each other as real musicians, but this day they they connect as humans! An emotional meeting for both!

[@syarbrough8510]

THE COMMENTS about Ed being an humble n good guy are great n had me thinking here about this vid(God bless JB btw). But here when Edward was doing his slap funk thing and the tapping with, that "humbleness" n kid like frustration came out in him. Who(that didn't know) would think back when Edward had jus blistered that arrangement some 10yrs prior in front of 18,000 screaming fans on the Live w/o A Net VHS/DVD concert! It now is among one of the most Reaction videos out there. He jus tore it up for some 13+ minutes! Way to go Ed and way to go Jason! Two giant guitar players. One being the King and the other being his virtuoso apprentice! Rock on everyone

[@BlindHatchet]

Jason Becker's albums Perpetual Burn, Perspective and Triumphant Hearts are all fantastic!!

[@RobertFairweatherMusic]

Jason Becker rocks!!! RIP EVH. Norm and crew, as always, the best of the best. Lemmo...can't say enough.

[@ronnieparfait]

Norm is a class act. I’m so glad he is involved in this, and happy to see him looking so good and healthy. 🤘🏼✌🏼

If he was a real class act, he'd buy that thing and give it back to jason.

[@joshstoverofficial4316]

Jason was the best guitarist I’ve ever heard and still is such an amazing composer. I’m stoked to have his numbers guitar from kiesel. It’s killer! Eddie was such a huge inspiration as well, what an amazing piece of music history.

[@MrJohnr47]

Very cool of you guys. My wife is a hospice nurse and she has stories of people losing their homes and going bankrupt even before they pass away. The bills are crushing, and it is nobodies fault that they are in these hopeless situations. There has got to be another way than what we have now. Good luck to Jason and his family

[@TraderK1836]

Norm has put together such a great youtube channel. This isn't just about selling guitars, this is about music, touching the soul,, talent, family and compassion. Keep up the great work Norm, karma has a way of coming back to you.

[@brownsfan7753]

This is what it’s all about!!! Helping people in need!!!

[@samhill3496]

a piece of history that can't be repeated.

[@dorianponcela9680]

Thank you for making this video. Jason Becker is one of my top five guitar players, and it's great you are helping him. Eddie was an amazing and nice guy that made Jason happy (other than being a guitar legend). With that guitar he gave him he keeps helping him, which is something awesome.

[@Marco-hk8mw]

If just any of us suscribers here in Norman Rare Guitars would gave 5 dollars making a crowdfunding, Jason could keep the guitar that Eddie gave him with so much love. I think he’d be very happy to have that special gift with him again. Money for his medical care, the guitar for his soul care.

[@dr.buzzvonjellar8862]

It’s incredible that a great tragedy, like Jason’s illness, can produce an extraordinary amount of love and inspiration. The only thing greater than Eddie’s musical genius was his beautiful heart. Thank you guys! What a treat to hear Lemmo rock that guitar!

[@amsterdam4324]

Guys please do a fundraiser and let Jason keep the guitar!! I’m sure a lot of people will make a contribution so he gets to enjoy this black beauty until the end, “until we evaporate”

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

Eddie did something similar with Dimebag. Dime's interred with Eddies yellow/black FrankenStrat. for all time, a gift from one master to another. I believe it was used on Van Halen II studio album and the following supporting tour

[@jeffsquires6620]

Jason was destined to one of the all time greats. Eddie treated guitarists with love and respect. Sometimes. Love them both. Many thanks.

[@TheSlandis]

I love that so many people come to back Jason. I'm a Kiesel buyer and they are another big supporter. It is wonderful to see a community come together to raise up one of their own. I wish I had the means to purchase such an instrument. If I did, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

[@CubbiesMLB]

Jason could play classical pieces backwards at such a young age. a true virtuoso

[@neurocosm]

This guitar was owned by two legends. It deserves to belong to one! It's priceless!.I hope it's bought for an obscene amount of money and gifted back to Jason and his family.

[@Badger59]

God bless Jason and family! You guys Rock, thank you for being good humans!

[@porscheguy718]

Bless your heart Norm. Thanks for doing what you do and keeping the vintage guitars still alive for all of us players and collectors. love your videos hope to visit your store someday soon.

[@varminttank]

If I was a rich man I would give a large amount to Jason . Hopefully this guitar sales for good price.

[@jeffnobles214]

Lighter side: Was holding my breath the writing and signature didn't smear off while Lemmo was playing it. Seriously great thing and heartfelt video.

[@geraldponce8336]

That guitar absolutely shreds. Serious collectors guitar. Be well worth the cause

Just month ago I watched the video when Eddie gave this guitar to Jason. It was heart warming meeting❤🎸.

[@wingerfan1]

It's amazing the bond that some of the musicians have with each other even though they haven't spent much time around each other. Definitely a brotherhood. It was a beautiful moment that David Edward met Jason and it'll be an even greater moment to know that he's taken care of longer from this. My thoughts are with Jason and the family at this time.

[@tomiddison5552]

Such a sad story. I hope it gets a million

[@yayayaokoksure]

Jason Becker was such a crazy good player. Id never even heard of him until a few years ago.

[@davemenard5089]

When Eddie signed this guitar he probably never thought he would beat Jason to that “future” jam session.

[@adamwarlock3530]

Eddie influenced about every great guitarist that came out after him in rock. RIP

[@TonyTruth]

Hopefully at least 1 3rd of the millions of people that was fortunate enough to get to enjoy the music Eddie and Jason created , will come together and donate even $51.00 for this Awe Inspiring Musician. Eddie would certainly smile knowing Jason is still making music , Peace ✌️

It’s a sin to play on this instrument after such legend. I would not be in place of Michael’s. You sense the honour and the pressure at the same time, when Michael started to play. Nice licks though. Well done 🤘

If I had enough money to buy this guitar to help Jason I would’ but even if I had a million dollars to spend on this guitar to help Jason I would but I feel that if I could I would want to give more’ this is one of the most heart warming things in the music community and beyond and it’s so rad that people can come together to help support such a special person as Jason’ I just really wish that I could’ but I struggle to even keep our bills paid because of my insignificant illness’ but I k ow that there are some good hearted people out there that will give what they can to help support Jason and keep such a promising talent as his around for as many years as possible’ I wish Jason and his family all the best amd all the love in the world’ and thankyou to you Norm for helping get this amazing opportunity for someone to help support such an amazing person and such a wonderful cause out there world wide’ big love to Jason and all the supporters of this world wide’ big love from New Zealand x

[@joermnyc]

Eddie knew great talent and was generous to other guitarists. Can’t help but remember the sad story of Dimebag asking if Eddie could get him a copy of the bumblebee Frankenstrat, but soon after Dimebag was murdered on stage. Eddie came to the memorial with the original bumblebee and had them put that in the casket because “he was an original and he deserved the original.”

[@TySutherland]

Nice one guys. Proud of you!

EVH Guitars or Wolfgang himself should be stepping up to fund his expenses, allowing Jason to keep it. This should never just be auctioned to some random collector. Ed would absolutely frown upon that. You guys know better. DO better.

[@garybowell9792]

Thank God everyone can see the genuine humanity displayed by Eddie van Halen as a person in this video . Sometimes I think we all get caught up in the juicy ,trashy headlines of the modern day and judge high profile people wrongly , me included . If everyone did just one gesture like this I'm sure the world would be better for it . I personally now think of Eddie not only as one of the great guitar innovators but also a kind man to those that need something nice in there life after suffering this terrible affliction. This young man should not have to pay for his care in a country as wealthy as America. Shame on the corporate business model.

[@mikeloeffler2801]

God bless Eddie and Jason and everybody and Norms I love you all and Michael I know he was a friend of yours to you guys rock I love you all❤❤❤

[@contrabandjoe7974]

Great job with that, Michael

[@theswordofkings7549]

Damn! I just got recommended this video and my mouth just dropped opened. I have this same guitar, same color, binding, and tuners, with the number 231. It doesn't have the Patent Applied (it has Eddie's stamped though) For because I found out from Peavey in an e-mail the stamper was broken and they had to push them out. And the crazy thing is I bought it second hand for $650.00 (no it wasn't hot🤣) and it plays like a dream. This made my day👍

[@ThePreciousguitar87]

This is a real beauty of a guitar! I don't know why, but the Peavey Wolfgangs look way more classy, than the Fender ones. Only my opinion!

[@lpluva1]

What an incredible guitar for a wealthy collector to buy, I hope they get a couple of hundred grand for it. For the provenance and the cause I feel it's worth that. Number 69 inspected, played, and signed for Jason Becker? Come on, that's special.
