A signed copy of Van Halen's second album. The band recorded Van Halen II in just a week, fresh off the heels of their first world tour. In 2004, Eddie Van Halen buried the black-and-yellow guitar pictured on the rear cover (known as "Bumblebee") with Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell, who had been murdered while pe🌺rforming. Prior to his death, Dimebag had asked Van Halen for a replica, as it was his favorite guitar; at Dimebag's funeral, he placed "Bumblebee" in his casket, saying "Dime was an original and only an original deserves the orig🐲inal."
