Eddie’s Indestructible Axe


Eddie Van Halen has designed a new guitar he can’t destroy and named it after his son.
After years of wearing down metal frets and having pieces of his guitar rip off or malfunction during shows, Van Halen says he’s built a guitar that even he can’t destroy. On the Wolfgang, frets are fashioned of stainless steel, and metal gadgets are custom-made by a company that specializes in medical tools. 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.
