Posted January 20, 201213 yr Fender hails the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll and transports you back to 1967 with the introduction of the Elvis Kingman acoustic guitar-a sharp looking, rich-sounding, hip-swaying evocation of the freewheeling Fender acoustic that Elvis Presley wielded with consummate cool in ’67 cinematic romp Clambake. In addition to honoring the King, the Elvis Kingman dreadnought also recreates Fender’s famous mid-’60s “Wildwood” finish, in which living beech trees that provided the backs and sides of the unusual instruments were dyed in several elegantly striking colors before being harvested. Highly distinctive features include Presley’s signature on the front of the Wildwood-style headstock, solid spruce top with scalloped X bracing for full and resonant tone, laminated Wildwood-style back and sides, Ivoroid neck and body binding, stylish dual checkerboard rosette, maple neck, 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with block position inlays and bone nut, Fender “Viking” rosewood bridge with cream-colored pins and compensated bone saddle, chrome hardware and gloss neck and body finish. The film he used it in, was Clambake :cheer: It costs around £320 and I want one! :w00t: :cheer: http://images.fender.com/products/elvis/home/ElvisPresley_img_top.png http://images.fender.com/products/elvis/home/ElvisPresley_Kingman.png General Model Name: Elvis® Kingman™ Series: Artist Design Color / Part #: Natural 096-8408-021 Body Body Material: Solid Spruce Top, Laminated Wildwood Back and Sides Body Shape: Dreadnought Body Back: Laminated Wildwood Body Sides: Laminated Wildwood Body Top: Solid Spruce Top Body Finish: 0968408021 Gloss Bracing: Scalloped X Bracing Rosette: Dual Checkerboard Rosette Body Width Lower Bout: 3.75" (Front) to 4.75" (Rear) Body Binding: Multiple Body Bindings Neck Number of Frets: 20 Position Inlays: Block Position Inlays Fretboard: Rosewood Neck Material: Maple Neck Finish: Gloss Nut Width: 1.625" (41.3 mm) Scale Length: 25.3" (64.3 cm) Neck Binding: Ivoroid Hardware Hardware Finish: Chrome Bridge: Rosewood with Compensated Bone Saddle String Nut: Bone Miscellaneous Strings: Fender® Dura-Tone® Coated 80/20 Bronze (.012-.052 Gauge) Unique Features: Inspired by Elvis, Dual Checkerboard Rosette, Fender "Viking" style bridge, Gold Three-Ply Pickguard, MOP Acrlyic Block Fretboard Inlays, Forward Mounted Strap Button, All Metal Vintage Fender Machine Heads, Multiple Body Bindings, and Scalloped "X" Bracing © EPE, Reg.
