Or you can just sit in a chair and stick a regular guitar in your lap, like lots of people have done.

For example, Jeff Healey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwgOUzodS6E&t=2m25s

(Not trying to turn this into a competition, by the way. His style definitely seems like it was influenced by Van Halen.)

Or you could just play a stick. https://stick.com

Fwiw, I would be surprised if Eddie Van Halen was not aware of the instrument, since they were invented in Southern California ~8 years before the release of "Van Halen".
