Eddie Van Halen's Son, Wolfgang, Is Upset With His Father's Guitar Auction

JAKARTA - The day after the auction of three guitars belonging to Eddie Van Halen, his son, Wolfgang, spoke up via Twitter. On Thursday, December 3, United States time, he gave an official statement.

"I have nothing to do with this. I never plan to sell all of my dad's iconic guitars. " Wolfgang chose to put his father's collection in a museum rather than auction it off.

The headline should read: “Three guitars that are striped were sold at an auction for charity.” They weren't stage guitars. I had nothing to do with this. I don't EVER plan on selling any of my father's iconic guitars. The only place they'd possibly belong in is a museum. https://t.co/npM4TZKWYU

The three guitars being auctioned reportedly sold $ 422 this week and are included in the Icons & Idols memorabilia. Julien's Auctions included a Kramer guitar that was gifted by Eddie Van Halen for Bryan Cush, an EVH Charvel 2004 guitar, and the iconic guitar used in the Hot for Teacher music video.

Wolfgang was suspicious of the timing of the sale because it was made after the death of Eddie Van Halen in October. He also wrote, “They only took advantage of my father's departure. What a surprise. Fuck. "

“The story for this (guitar) is made as if it is an iconic guitar. Not true. As if he were selling Frankenstein or Shark. "

Launching NME today, Cush's heir lawyer, Michael Sohigian explained that the guitar was given after Bryan died. Being one of the properties, Bryan Cush's younger brother even sold on eBay without permission.

His guitar buyer on eBay sold it back to auction for 231,000 US dollars. Wolfgang replied, and he hoped the problem could be resolved.

“The guitars have a big meaning. That guitar is your father's blood and sweat from being a rock star for us !!! I like the idea of putting it in a museum, ”said netizens in reply to Wolfgang's tweet.

"Save the entire guitar. And yes, better put it in a museum one day. Some things are more important than money, ”said another Twitter user.
