Two guitars owned, played and partly designed by the late Eddie Van Halen will be going up for auction, Julien’s Auctions has announced.

Both guitars were hand-striped by Van Halen in the familiar style of most of his guitars dating back to the first Van Halen album in 1978.
Each of the guitars is expected to fetch between $60,000 and $80,000 (£46,000 and £61,000). The guitar great died of cancer on October 6 at the age of 65.
