Autographed Squier Strat Carried up Mt Everest being Auctioned for Charity

This is pretty incredible.  A Squire Stratocaster bearing the signature of no other than Alice Cooper, that was carried all the way to the summit of Mount Everest is currently on auction on eBay in the name of charity.

The strat, carried by Todd Pendleton, a firefighter from Scottsdale, AZ made the trip to the top of Everest in a much easier fashion than its bearer.  In an interview with a local television station, Todd told viewers, “I had dreamed of carrying a guitar to the top of Everest, thinking it would be easy. It was not! I was totally regretting my decision about halfway up. But I had made the commitment to get it to the top.”

This now world-traveled guitar can be found on eBay and as of the time of this writing the bidding is a little over $1,600.  Of his ordeal, Todd said, “I know carrying a guitar up to Everest sounds like a ridiculous story, but it was all done to raise money for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society”.
