During his performance on “Saturday Night Live” last night (October 10), Jack White paid tribute to the late Eddie Van Halen by playing “Lazaretto” with a cobalt blue model guitar that was designed by the legendary guitarist. White said the following about that:

“I thought it could be a nice gesture for me to use this blue Eddie Van Halen model guitar for one of the songs tonight on SNL. The guitar was designed by Eddie (with a few customizations I had added). Eddie was very kind to me and saw to it that this guitar was made for me to my specs. I wont even insult the man’s talent by trying to play one of his songs tonight. Thanks again Eddie for this guitar and rest in peace sir.”
