Giant EDDIE VAN HALEN Mural Unveiled Outside Hollywood Guitar Center
27 January 2021
A large mural depicting the iconic Eddie Van Halen was unveiled at the Hollywood Guitar Center on the Sunset Strip on Tuesday, in commemoration of what would’ve been the late guitarist’s 66th birthday (January 26th). The artwork was created by local muralist Robert Vargas.
The Van Halen guitarist died on October 6th, with countless tributes coming from his musical peers in the ensuing weeks.
The new mural now immortalizes the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer in painted form, with Vargas’ artwork taking up an entire outer wall at the back entrance of Guitar Center’s flagship Hollywood store. The piece, which stands at 17 feet tall by 105 feet wide, depicts Eddie playing his famous “Frankenstrat” guitar.

In 2020, Vargas painted a giant mural of late Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, who tragically died in a helicopter crash on Eddie Van Halen’s birthday a year ago today.
