Eddie Van Halen has had so much equipment over the years I could spend the next few years compiling all the info. It all first started with his home made Charvels and an Ibanez Destroyer that was used mostly on the first album Van Halen. Then he went to Kramer guitars in 1983, then Ernie Ball Music man in the 1990s, Peavey Wolfgangs and so on. A great live recording of Eddie playing eruption is available on the "Live Right Here Right Now" Album. The guitar solo is titled "3:16" take the time to listen to it!
