VAN HALEN CREATES UNBREAKABLE GUITAR

Rocker EDDIE VAN HALEN has created an indestructible new guitar with bosses of a top medical tool company. The Wolfgang - named after the rocker's son and Van Halen bandmate - features custom-made stainless steel frets and metal accessories.
And the guitar great knows his new instrument is unbreakable - because he tried to trash it on the last Van Halen tour.
He tells CNN, "During the last show, I actually tried to break a Wolfgang, and it wouldn't break. I picked it up and I couldn't break the damn thing. I threw it up in the air, and later put it out in the rain. I picked it up half an hour later, and it was still in tune. It p**sed me off."
Van Halen's new guitar retails for $3,000 (£2,100).
