Jack White was the perfect last minute fill in guest for Saturday Night Live this past weekend.

Not only did it give him a chance to pay tribute to the legendary Eddie Van Halen but he got to use the guitar that was designed for him by the fallen guitar legend.

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.
