Robert Pattinson auctions off signed guitar for homeless charity

by on March 17, 2010 | 6 Comments

Robert Pattinson stopped by Norman’s Rare Guitars in Tarzana, California, yesterday where he was asked by the owner to autograph the Fender guitar that he was looking at.

Robert complied and signed the Telecaster, which is now on eBay to benefit the Midnight Mission. The auction’s starting price is $3,000 and so far, has no bids. You can view the auction here.

According to the auction, Midnight Mission provides an array of life changing sevices for homeless men, women and children. They include education, job training and placement, drug and alcohol treatment and referral services. Additionally, we provide basic subsistence services and transitional housing for families.

The auction description:

Brand new Fender Telecaster signed by ultra hot Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen) from the Twilight movie series and Remember Me. Robert happened to shopping for instruments at Norm’s Rare Guitars and Norm (a great friend of The Midnight Mission), asked him if he’d sign a guitar that could be auctioned off to support the services of the charity. Robert was gracious enough to say yes and do it. This terrifically talented actor and singer/musician even consented to have his picture taken with the signed instrument. I didn’t post it here, but have it available for authentication (believe it or not this humble actor is bit camera shy when not at work). Get this now!! I have seen tons of signed pictures and posters, but not a Fender guitar. And as you real fans know, Robert is an excellent musician – he plays piano, guitar and sings! So it’s a winner – a great and unique gift for you or someone you love and you help people who don’t always feel loved.

Kudos!

    I enjoyed Rob in the movie "Remember Me". He continues to amaze me in his giving ways and his realistic way of thinking. I hope the best for his career and hope he always continues to live in the moment. Teesha

      i agree with you! he is amazing and appears to be a very smart, giving, endearing person. i wish him all the happiness he deserves. i don't understand people who hate on him. he's still a young man trying to make it in the world. why does ANYONE have to criticize others for doing what they probably could never do or even be motivated enough to do. haters are just immature, jealous people.

    Hey Roberta – Need to get your facts straight. Robert was at the guitar store & signed this guitar back in December 2009. It was listed on ebay March 11th so he definitely was not in Tarzana, CA YESTERDAY – especially since he is in London filming Bel Ami right now.

      Sheesh, the source said that he was there yesterday.

    God bless him! That is such a good notion for helping homeless people. I just hope other big stars do this too! A fender guitar with a signature from a star is definitely a good buy! However, I hope someday, they’d let the guitar artists do this to make it meaningful for guitar enthusiasts.

    Love Robert Pattinson. He seems like such a nice and down to earth guy. A nice thing for him to do. Loved Remember Me and he was great in it.
