Eddie Van Halen's Personally Owned Guitar Pick Given to Angie Everhart W/LOA - This guitar pick was personally owned and used by one of the greatest guitar players to ever live, Eddie Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen was the main songwriter and guitarist of the American rock band Van Halen which he co-founded in 1972, and is regarded as one of the all-time greatest guitar players in rock history. He is known for popularizing the tapping guitar solo technique, allowing rapid arpeggios to be played with two hands on the fretboard. This is a fascinating piece with a lovely story, as Mr. Van Halen used this guitar pick before eventually giving it to his close friend, actress and former model Angie Everhart. Everhart is an actress and model who has appeared in several Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues, Elle, Glamour, Playboy, and others. In a 4-page interview with Sports Illustrated Everhart talks about naming her dog Sir Edward Van Halen II, and the two met shortly after and became fast friends. Angie Everhart eventually traveled all around the United States attending Van Halen's tour, and was given this pick directly from Mr. Van Halen. The pick will come with a letter of provenance from Angie Everhart.
