This Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has been compared to such “guitar gods” as Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix. Eddie admits to always being unsatisfied concerning his guitar and for years he had destroyed hundreds of guitars by “Halenizing” them by adding pickups from one model to one he like or by grafting the neck from one style and onto the body of another.

In fact he has been known to be brutal on his instruments in his never ending quest to find what he considers to be the ultimate rock guitar. This is why this newest version of the Wolfgang is so important.
