But here's your chance to own an exact copy. The folks at Guitar Center have worked with C.F. Martin & Company to produce a limited-edition version of this iconic guitar. According to Guitar Center, "The Martin D-28M Elvis Presley Commemorative Limited Edition features an exact reproduction of the leather cover originally crafted by Charles Underwood, and a TCB lightning bolt inlay on the heel cap."
The guitar features Elvis' signature inlaid into the neck at the 12th fret, and a mother-of-pearl image of the performer set into the headstock.
Production will be limited to just 175 guitars, and the price is fit for a King, too: $9,199. For more info, check out the Guitar Center website.
And remember, nothing improves the sound of a guitar more than covering it in leather.
