The Taste for a Cure charity event is also holding an auction that will benefit the National Kidney Foundation of Southern California. Besides items and memorabilia from The Eagles, Chris Daughtrey, Bon Jovi, and Reba McEntire, David Cook’s autographed Epiphone Les Paul Special II Heritage guitar is also part of the auctioned lot. This is the very first guitar he signed after his American Idol win - not to mention that Les Pauls have superior sound quality that no other guitars can match.
The retail value of this unsigned Les Paul model is about $250. But with David Cook’s signature on the body, the current bid for the guitar is a whopping $5,000. Crazy, huh?
If you’ve got over five thousand dollars to spare, you can place your bid for David Cook’s autographed Les Paul here. Sounds a bit much but hey, it’s for a good cause. People have spent more money for far more frivolous things.
Also, I found a video of David Cook’s performance of Livin’ on a Prayer at the Taste for a Cure fundraiser. I’d embed the video but the poster disabled it, boo.
