Fender Telecaster signed by Robert Pattinson to be auctioned off
Posted on 24 Mar 2010 14:09 to category : Instruments News
A Fender Telecasterguitar that has been signed by Twilight actor Robert Pattinson is to be auctioned off for charity.
Pattinson was shopping for a new guitar for himself when he was asked to sign the Fender Telecaster, which is now to be sold off to help raise funds for the Midnight Mission charity, reports the Fender blog.
Midnight Mission is a non-profit organisation that aims to provide help to homeless people by providing them services such as transistional housing, job training and drug and alcohol treatment.
Earlier this month, Pattinson told the Sun that he can play the piano and guitar and hopes to launch a music career in addition to his acting work.
He said that he wants to record an album as soon as possible.
"I want to do one at the end of the year. All my friends are recording albums and I'm very annoyed about it," Pattinson said.
