Thieves have reportedly stolen $50,000 worth of guitars, amplifiers and other memorabilia from a storage locker owned by Zeke Clark, former guitar technician for Van Halen.
Greg Renoff, author of Van Halen Rising, tweeted: “Putting this on everyone’s radar. If anyone sees any unusual/rare EVH or Sammy related guitars or gear get quietly offered for sale please get in touch with Zeke.”
Attached to the tweet was a screenshot of a Facebook post in a Van Halen memorabilia group, which reads: “[Zeke Clark] said someone broke into his storage locker in Nashville and wiped him out. He said ‘$50,000 worth of guitars, amps, music history etc… I’m devastated. Discovered it on December 3rd.’”
Putting this on everyone’s radar. If anyone sees any unusual/rare EVH or Sammy related guitars or gear get quietly offered for sale please get in touch with Zeke. I’ll try to find out more about what was stolen. Zeke worked for VH starting around 1985. Feel terrible for him. pic.twitter.com/inCYaQGy0H
