Jason Becker Auctions Eddie Van Halen Gifted Guitar for ALS Care
Jason Becker, who was diagnosed with ALS in 1989, is selling the guitar he received as a gift from Eddie Van Halen in order to raise money for his ongoing care. The sale is being brokered by YouTuber Benny Goodman, who hopes to get the highest price for the Wolfgang #69 guitar without paying auction fees. Becker released never-before-seen footage of Van Halen's visit to his house in 1996, showcasing the guitarist's caring and generous personality. Despite losing his ability to play guitar, walk, talk, and breathe on his own, Becker continues to create music using a communication system developed by his father.
