Battlestar Galactica Stratocaster Charity Underway on eBay

by Staff.

Fans of the Battlestar Galactica reimagined television series and followers of the work of visual artist Pamelina H. will be pleased to know that the two forces joined to produce a Battlestar Galactica Stratocaster that is available in an eBay auction that ends September 4, 2008. The instrument is a made-in-USA Stratocaster donated by Fender that bears BSG imagery airbrushed by Pamelina and the autographs of many of the show's main cast members, including Edward James Olmos (Cmdr. William Adama), Mary McDonnell (Laura Roslin), Jamie Bamber (Cpt. Lee "Apollo" Adama), James Callis (Dr. Gaius Baltar), Tricia Helfer (Number Six), Grace Park (Lt. Sharon "Boomer" Valerii), Katee Sackhoff (Lt. Kara "Starbuck" Thrace), Michael (Mike) Hogan (Col. Paul Tigh) and Aaron Douglas (Chief P.O. Galen Tyrol). All of the proceeds from the auction will benefit the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation.

Pamelina H. chronicles the creation of the Battlestar Galactica Stratocaster in a recent Modern Guitars column article, which highlights the contribution of Fender (especially Del Breckenfeld, Fender Entertainment Marketing Director), luthier Mike Lipe, and the cast and those associated with Battlestar Galactica.
