January 26 is the late Eddie Van Halen<\/strong>‘s birthday, and his son, Wolfgang Van Halen<\/strong>,\u00a0is paying tribute to him by unveiling his new signature guitar: the EVH SA-126<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On X, formerly Twitter,<\/a> Wolf writes, “It\u2019s an honor to finally and officially introduce (on the perfect day, no less) the EVH SA-126. I am so proud of this instrument and the incredible team that has been working on it for years. It will be available in 4 colors and you can get your hands on it this May.<\/span>“<\/p>\n

The instrument comes from the EVH Brand, which Eddie Van Halen created in 2005 in partnership with Fender. The semi-hollow bodied guitar was road tested over the past two years while Wolfgang was touring with Mammoth WVH<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wolf says in a statement, “I wanted to do my own thing and that\u2019s how I gravitated towards semi-hollow bodies and how it became my core sound … the goal was to put together a guitar that didn\u2019t exist yet.”<\/p>\n

There are two different models of the EVH SA-126: One costs $1800; the other costs $1900.<\/p>\n

Wolf also posted a birthday tribute to his late father, writing,<\/a> “I wish you were here so I could give you a big hug, go to dinner, celebrate it with you and make a dumb joke about it being your 69th birthday …I miss hearing you laugh. I miss laughing with you. It’s the little things.”<\/p>\n

He added, “I’ll do my best to keep a smile on my face and think of you today. But then again, that’s not very different than any other day so far without you. I love and miss you more than you could ever possibly know. Happy Birthday, Pop.”<\/p>\n
