Herman Li and Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal were on hand to witness the online auction, which also included a stage-used Eddie Van Halen Kramer guitar that sold for $120,000

The axe, which was made in 1998 and wielded by Gilbert at the Hoshino 90th Anniversary Concert, will be sold with a signed TC Electronic PG signature MojoMojo overdrive pedal

The Moridira axe – which was used during the recording of Becker's debut solo album – is currently up for auction

His prototype Peavey "Numbers" guitar and two Moridira Hurricanes – seen on the covers of Perpetual Burn and Cacophony's Speed Metal Symphony, respectively – are going under the hammer

The pair teamed up to trade licks in the latest installment of the Jason Becker fundraiser livestream event, which has raised nearly $250,000 so far

“I'm finally starting to feel like myself again, after many months of scary health issues,” the guitarist writes

Steve Vai, Sammy Hagar, Steve Lukather, Tosin Abasi, Herman Li and more have donated and autographed guitars, which will be sold on The Official Jason Becker Reverb Store

The legendary guitarist and composer received treatment over the weekend for the infection, which caused his "persistent shortness of breath and rapid heart rate"

Becker's mother says the guitar icon was "feeling better for while", but the persistent symptoms "kept coming and going"
