According to My San Antonio, the employees noticed the instrument was missing only at 1 AM while closing the restaurant.
The guitar is one of several models custom-built for Eddie Van Halen over the years and was donated to the Cafe by the man himself back in 2004.
UPDATE: According to a report from KSAT, the officials have confirmed the guitar “was recovered and returned to the downtown Hard Rock Cafe” today.
